Vancouver Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Vancouver, WA for residential and commercial properties across Clark County. If there is one place the moss problem argues for spending more money, this is it. A standing seam panel has no butt edge, so there is nothing for moss to get underneath and wedge apart. It is the only material change that removes the mechanism instead of managing it.
Be clear about what that does and does not mean. Moss will still grow on a metal roof on a shaded slope. It will sit in the pan, gather at the seam, and hold needles and water against the panel face. What it cannot do is lift the panel off the one below it, because the panel is continuous from eave to ridge and fastened with concealed clips rather than lapped in courses.
We install 24-gauge steel with a PVDF finish on concealed sliding clips, seamed at the rib rather than face-fastened, with high-temperature self-adhered underlayment beneath the whole field and a slip sheet or drainage mat on any run that will see standing debris. On the shaded elevations we ask for a little more pitch on the panel run wherever the framing allows it, so needle litter clears itself.
Exposed-fastener corrugated is a different product with a different life. It runs roughly half the price installed and it is a reasonable choice on a shop, a barn or a detached garage. On a house it means several thousand rubber-washered screws through the panel face, and in this climate those washers become the maintenance item within about twelve years. We will quote it, but we will tell you what you are signing up for.
Metal over an existing shingle roof is possible with a purlin system and it saves the tear-off cost. We will only do it where the deck is dry and sound, because once panels are down nobody sees that sheathing again for forty years. On a north slope that has been holding moss and moisture for a decade, tearing off first is not us inventing extra work for ourselves.
The economics are honest and slow. Metal costs about two and a half times what a laminate shingle roof costs here and lasts roughly two and a half times as long, so it is close to a wash on a house you intend to sell in ten years. On a house you plan to keep, and particularly on a heavily shaded lot, it comes out clearly ahead.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — moss rhizoids wedged under the shingle butt edge, the factory sealant strip bond between courses, north-slope drying potential under a conifer canopy, 1x4 skip sheathing left from an original cedar shake roof, hand removal with a plastic-bladed shingle scraper, potassium salts of fatty acids moss treatment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Vancouver and nearby communities including Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield.

Materials, equipment and how we do metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with moss rhizoids wedged under the shingle butt edge, the factory sealant strip bond between courses, north-slope drying potential under a conifer canopy, 1x4 skip sheathing left from an original cedar shake roof, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Vancouver job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Clark County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

The standards behind metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal roofing work we do in Vancouver follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
