I came up as a roof helper. Then a journeyman. Then a roofer. Not because I was chasing a commission, but because the work demanded respect. You climb on someone's house, you own the outcome. That's the only way we know how to do this.

Twenty Years Climbing Roofs

When I started working in roofing, I learned fast. You have to. Mistakes up there aren't just expensive—they're dangerous. Rain gets in the wrong spot, and families deal with rot. Wind hits a bad install, and shingles end up in the neighbor's yard. So we didn't cut corners as helpers. We learned the right way, the only way.

After mastering the trade, I wanted to build something different. Something where the person on the roof and the person writing the estimate were the same person who cared about both. West Coast Roofers and Gutters is family owned because my family lives here too. We're not a sales force. We're roofers who answer the phone.

What We've Learned From Twenty Years

Real roofers matter. We're certified installers because certification isn't decoration—it's a promise. When you hire West Coast, you're not getting a contractor who learned roofing from YouTube. You get someone who climbed those roofs, felt the mistakes, and built the skill to do it right. That matters when water is trying to find its way into your home.

Gutters and siding live on the same house. We handle roof replacement, repairs, and cleaning. We install and replace gutters. We add gutter guards so you're not on a ladder twice a year. We do siding repair and replacement. Why? Because water doesn't respect your job categories. A roof leak becomes gutter overflow becomes siding rot. We stay for the whole house.

Honesty builds trust faster than discounts. We show you what we see. If your roof can hold five more years, we say so. If it's failing, we explain why. If a repair will buy you time, we propose it. Then you decide. We're not here to rush you into the job we want. We're here to solve the problem you have.

Family business means accountability. We answer our own phones. We show up when we say. We clean up after ourselves. My name is on the work. So is my family's reputation. That changes how you operate.

How We Work

You call. We listen. We ask about what's happening—is the roof leaking, when did you notice it, what's your timeline. We show up on time and walk the problem with you. We explain what we see in plain language. No jargon. No pressure. Then we give you options and a fair price.

We work carefully. We protect your landscaping. We clean up every nail and scrap. We finish when we say, and we stand behind what we do. That's been the standard since I was a helper. It's still the standard now.

If you're in Portland and your roof, gutters, or siding need real attention from real roofers, reach out. We're ready to help.
