Roofing Materials We Use
At Portland Roofing Center, we use high-quality materials to ensure your roof is durable and long-lasting. Our selection includes popular options that suit various styles and budgets.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are our most popular roofing material. They're affordable and come in many colors and styles. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, asphalt shingles are used on approximately 80% of residential roofs in the United States. We offer three main types:
- 3-tab shingles: Basic, flat appearance
- Architectural shingles: Dimensional look, longer lifespan
- Premium shingles: Luxury designs, enhanced durability
Malarkey Roofing Products, a trusted local manufacturer, supplies many of our shingles. Malarkey Roofing Products was founded in Portland in 1956 and has grown to become a national leader in sustainable roofing materials. Their products are known for quality and weather resistance.
We also use shingles with algae-resistant granules. These help prevent unsightly black streaks on your roof.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are gaining popularity due to their longevity and energy efficiency. Metal roofing can last 50+ years and reflects solar radiation, potentially reducing cooling costs by 10-25% according to the Metal Roofing Alliance. We offer several metal roofing options:
- Standing seam panels
- Metal shingles
- Stone-coated steel
These roofs can last 50+ years with proper maintenance. They reflect sunlight, potentially lowering your energy bills.
Metal roofs are also fire-resistant and can withstand high winds. We use corrosion-resistant coatings to protect against rust in Portland's rainy climate.
Flat Roofing Solutions
For flat or low-slope roofs, we offer specialized materials:
- EPDM (rubber roofing)
- TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin)
- Modified bitumen
These materials are waterproof and durable. They're ideal for commercial buildings and some residential structures.
We ensure proper installation with adequate drainage to prevent water pooling. Proper drainage is crucial in Portland where 11.51 square miles (29.82 km²) of the city's total area is water, and the city is situated at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Our flat roofing solutions can last 20-30 years with regular maintenance.
Sustainable and Green Roofs
We're committed to eco-friendly roofing options. Portland has been recognized as one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the United States, with a strong emphasis on sustainable building practices and green infrastructure. Our sustainable choices include:
- Cool roofs: Reflect sunlight to reduce heat absorption
- Recycled materials: Shingles made from recycled content
- Solar-ready roofing: Prepared for future solar panel installation
For green roofs, we partner with local suppliers to provide vegetation and proper waterproofing layers. These roofs improve air quality and reduce stormwater runoff.
We can help you choose the best sustainable option for your home or business. Our team stays updated on the latest green roofing technologies.

FAQs
We know you have questions about roofing. Here are answers to some common concerns about roof repairs, choosing a company, warranties, materials, and quality assurance.
What are the signs that I need roof repairs or replacement?
Look for missing or damaged shingles, leaks in your attic, and water stains on ceilings. Curling shingle edges, bald spots, and granules in gutters also signal roof issues.
Sagging areas on your roof indicate structural problems that need quick attention. According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-25 years in the Pacific Northwest due to the region's moisture levels, while properly maintained metal roofs can last 50+ years. If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for replacement regardless of visible damage.
What types of roofing materials are most suitable for Portland's climate?
Asphalt shingles are popular due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. Metal roofing is also a great choice for its longevity and resistance to Portland's rain.
Cedar shakes offer a classic Northwest look and natural water resistance. Cedar shakes and shingles have been used in the Pacific Northwest since the region was first settled, with many historic Portland neighborhoods featuring this traditional roofing material. For flat roofs, we recommend EPDM or TPO membranes to handle standing water.
How does Portland Roofing Center ensure the quality and durability of their roofing?
