We only use the best, highest quality roofing products available on the market. As a top rated roofing company on Yelp, and a member of the BBB along with being a recipient of several Angie’s List Service Award, our skilled and capable employees look forward to serving you.
Our Portland Roofers are certified to install many popular types of roofing systems on the market today. However, we do not specialize in all of them. The following list discusses some of the benefits for each style of roofing material.
Composition / Asphalt Shingles are made of fiberglass matting that is covered with asphalt and coated with protective granules. This style of roofing is the most common roofing material used on residential pitched roofs. It can also be the least expensive roofing available, but with the introduction of new styles, many with a heavier appearance and lifetime warranties, these asphalt products can sometimes cost as much as shake or metal roofing.
Like many roofing products today, fiberglass asphalt shingles are A rated for fire protection and have wind warranties will over 100 mph. High end products can weigh up to 450 pounds per square and last up to 40 to 50 years.
Cedar Shake Roofing material is made from cedar because of its lightweight yet durable properties. It is most popular for it curb appeal, but it is also an excellent insulator and can withstand extreme temperatures. The standard life cycle of an untreated roof can vary between 15 to 25 years depending on the quality and thickness of the cedar shake. Wood roofing that has been treated and cared for can provide homeowners many additional years of service from their roof.
Our roofing team has decided to discontinue offering cedar shake roofing to our residential roofing customers. We feel the expense – including installation and maintenance, along with its poor fire rating and the lack of quality old growth available, no longer makes cedar shakes a good option for our company to install and stand behind for our valuable customers.
Tile Roofs are available in many different styles and color finishes, from Spanish Tile to Mission Tile. They can add curb appeal and beauty to many different types of homes. Compared to other roofing materials, both concrete and clay tile can outlast the life of the structure. Regarding cost, tile roofs cost about twice as much as cedar roofing and three times as much as asphalt roofing. Most tile roofing is installed during the construction of the original home because its weight often requires additional support.
Our Portland roofing company no longer offers re-roofing with lightweight tile products. During the past ten years three of the manufactures that produced the light-weight tile have gone bankrupt and left the consumer and contractor holding the bag. However, there are many well made standard weight tile products and we would gladly refer you to a local roofing company that specializes in their installation.
Metal Roofing, whether it is standing seam to copper panels, they may be costly but come with benefits. Durability and fire retardant are the two most often cited benefits. Because of the small demand and interest in the Portland Metro area for residential metal roofing products, Cascade Roofing no longer offers this service.
Torchdown Roofing, just like the names implies, it is installed by applying heat to the bitumen and fiberglass rolled product. The seams are welded together to form a single sheet for application on low-pitch roofs. Because of its tough qualities and granular coating, Torch-down roofs are long-lasting with an average life span of 20 to 30 years.
Cascade Roofing Portland has been installing Torchdown roofs for over 30 years now and are certified by the National Roofing Contractors Association to safely install this product. It is an excellent material to use in conjunction with asphalt roofing due to its compatibility in product and matching colors. Walkable and tough are some of its best qualities.

Installing a new roof over an existing roof is referred to as a “recover” or “lay-over”. This application of reroofing could initially save you considerably as you will avoid the cost of tear-off labor, dump fees and much more.
If you must do a recover, it should be over a 3-tab style of material that is laying flat, the roof deck should feel strong with no soft spots, and there should only be one layer of roofing existing on the roof. Current code allows for up to three layers of roofing, but this is based on weight, not performance. Also, don’t forget to ventilate your attic, even if you’re doing a recover, to avoid condensation and mold problems.
A roof warranty gives the homeowner or building owner real peace of mind after investing in a major roof replacement. As with many large expenditures, problems may not show up until years after the roof installation has be completed. Make sure you select a company like Cascade Roofing Portland who has been answering the same phone number (503-620-2711) for over sixty years.
Most residential manufactures of roofing products offer warranties that come with 30, 40, 50 and even lifetime warranties. By contrast, commercial or low slope roofing products offer 10 to 20 years warranties. Make sure that the products are high-quality and the roofing components used match the expected durability and life of the roofing product.
Since 1959 Cascade Roofing Portland has been installing and standing behind their written roof warranties. While the State of Oregon only requires a one-year labor warranty, Cascade Roofing offers you roof protection ranging from 10 years to 50 years depending on the roof system and warranty you select.
