◆ Roofing Contractor in Portland, OR
At Reliance Roof Pros, we do not employ salespeople. A Roof Technician inspects and photographs your roof, explains what is happening, and recommends what it needs and nothing more.
Homeowners told us they often felt uncomfortable dealing with salespeople, because a salesperson gets paid based on how much you buy. So we eliminated the role. Here is what that takes off the table.
Reliance Roof Pros Technicians do not get paid based on how much you spend, so there is no incentive to sell you more than what you need. If a simple repair is what your roof needs right now, that is what will be recommended.
Our Roof Technicians thoroughly inspect and photograph your roof, attic and overall building envelope. You get the findings and a detailed proposal before the project starts, not after the roof has been torn off.
Roof Technicians are trained to diagnose the problem and specify what production needs. They stay involved every step of the way, so what you agreed to is exactly what is installed.

The metro areas of the Northwest see about 40 inches of rain a year, mostly compressed into 8 months, with heavy tree debris and moss. Roofing here requires focus and science to get the best possible result.
Asphalt composition roofing represents over 90% of pitched roofs in the United States. The family runs from simple, affordable products to heavier lines that last longer and hold an architectural look.
Metal roofing is known as the most permanent, longest-lasting roofing material available today.
In the Northwest, we have the greatest concentration of cedar roofing in America. Cedar comes in different thicknesses, profiles and grades.
Flat roofing in Oregon and Washington requires a number of technical considerations, inside and out.
Sustained moisture and heavy shade make moss and algae the defining roofing issue here. These are the common problems we fix in Portland and Oregon City homes.
A long wet season and tree-shaded roofs create ideal conditions for moss and algae, especially on north-facing slopes. Left untreated, moss traps moisture against the roof surface.
Cedar needs a proper drying cycle to hold up. Our wet season does not always allow that, which is why splitting, cupping and rot show up more here than in drier climates.
Gutters fill with needles and leaves faster than homeowners expect. A clogged gutter in the rainy season can mean water backing up under the roofline.
Trapped moisture under the roof deck contributes to condensation, mold risk and material breakdown from the inside out.
Most of the leaks we find are not from one dramatic storm. They are the slow result of moss damage, aging flashing or gutter backup.

“You could tell they had their act together right from the get-go.”
A tree fell on Tony’s house during a storm and punctured his 30-year-old tile roof. Reliance Roof Pros stripped the roof back to the plywood, replaced weakened boards and rebuilt it with shingles.
