Brisco Roofing, a GAF Master Elite Certified roofing contractor serving the Portland Metropolitan area, is alerting homeowners about the critical need to inspect residential roofs installed between 20 and 30 years ago, as many are approaching or have exceeded their expected lifespan.
With winter weather approaching, the timing becomes particularly urgent for Portland homeowners whose roofs may be vulnerable to damage from heavy rain, wind, and potential ice conditions. Industry data indicates that asphalt shingle roofs, the most common residential roofing material in the Pacific Northwest, typically last between 20 to 30 years, depending on quality, installation, and maintenance.
"Many homeowners don't realize their roof is failing until water damage appears inside their home," said David, a representative of Brisco Roofing. "Regular inspections can identify problems early, potentially saving thousands of dollars in repairs and preventing damage to the home's interior and structure. We're seeing a significant number of roofs from the 1990s and early 2000s that need immediate attention."
The Portland metropolitan area experienced substantial residential construction growth during the 1990s and early 2000s, meaning thousands of homes now have roofing systems that have reached or exceeded their intended service life. Common signs of roof deterioration include curling or missing shingles, granule loss, sagging areas, and daylight visible through roof boards in the attic.
Portland roofers are experiencing increased demand for inspections and replacements as homeowners become aware of their aging roof systems. The combination of the Pacific Northwest's wet climate and the natural aging process accelerates wear on roofing materials, making proactive maintenance and timely replacement essential for protecting homes.
Brisco Roofing offers comprehensive roof inspections at no cost to homeowners, providing detailed assessments of roof conditions and recommendations for necessary repairs or replacement. The company's certification as a GAF Master Elite contractor represents a distinction held by only the top percentage of roofing contractors nationwide, ensuring adherence to strict installation standards and access to enhanced warranty options.
Beyond traditional roof replacement and repair services, the company provides roof cleaning, gutter services, and skylight installation and repair throughout Southwest Washington and the Portland Metropolitan area. Regular roof cleaning helps extend the life of roofing materials by removing moss, algae, and debris that can trap moisture and accelerate deterioration.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections before winter weather arrives, as addressing roofing issues during dry conditions is safer and often more cost-effective than emergency repairs during storms. Early detection of problems also provides homeowners with time to explore financing options and plan for necessary work.
Brisco Roofing has served the Portland Metropolitan area and Southwest Washington for years, specializing in residential roofing services, including new installations, replacements, repairs, and ongoing maintenance. The company maintains a strong reputation for quality workmanship and customer service throughout the region.
