What is the best commercial roofing system for Portland Oregon?

For flat and low-slope commercial roofs in Portland Oregon, TPO and PVC membranes are the top choice. Both handle Oregon's 43 inches of annual rainfall well and last 20-30 years when properly installed. TPO costs $7-$12 per square foot. PVC costs $9-$14 per square foot and offers superior resistance to ponding water. For steep-slope buildings, metal roofing is the longest-lasting option at $12-$18 per square foot.

How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?

If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, repair is usually the right call. If your roof is over 20 years old, you have recurring leaks, or repair costs are becoming frequent, replacement is likely the better long-term investment. Flow Roofing provides honest written assessments and will recommend repair over replacement when that is the right answer.

What workmanship warranty does Flow Roofing provide?

Flow Roofing provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on standard roof packages. A lifetime workmanship warranty is available on MaxFlow Systems installations. Every project is also backed by the manufacturer warranty behind the materials installed. Flow Roofing is a Malarkey Certified Premium Installer which allows us to offer extended manufacturer warranties including No Dollar Limit coverage that non-certified contractors cannot provide.

What is a No Dollar Limit NDL warranty on a commercial roof?

A No Dollar Limit NDL warranty is the highest level of commercial roofing warranty available.
