Vancouver Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in Vancouver, WA for residential and commercial properties across Clark County. Concrete and clay tile exist around Clark County, mostly on houses built between the late 1980s and the mid 2000s, and we maintain a fair number of them. We are also going to be straight about where tile belongs in this climate and where it does not.
Concrete tile is porous, and on a shaded slope that porosity is the whole problem. The surface holds water the way a paving slab holds water, the profile creates a shaded trough down every course, and moss establishes on it faster and more thickly than it does on composition. Tile is not being damaged by that the way a shingle is, but the slope will never be clear.
The bigger issue is that moss on tile is dangerous to service. A wet, moss-covered concrete tile is slick, and it cracks under a foot in the wrong place because the load has to land on the head lap over a batten. Every extra trip up there to clear growth is a chance to break something, and cracked tiles found later are a leak nobody watched happen.
So on a north-facing slope under conifers we will usually recommend against new tile, and suggest standing seam metal or a good laminate shingle instead. That is a smaller job for us than a tile roof would have been. We would rather do the smaller job than sell you a roof that will annoy you for the next thirty years.
On existing tile, the work is almost always underlayment rather than tile. Tile itself lasts fifty years or more, but the felt beneath it is the actual waterproofing and it gives out at around twenty-five to thirty. A lift-and-relay takes the tiles off in order, replaces underlayment and battens with a self-adhered high-temperature membrane and treated battens, and puts the original tile back with replacements only where it broke.
For maintenance we clear growth by hand and with low pressure, never with a pressure washer, and we walk the head laps over the battens. If somebody has quoted you a pressure wash on a tile roof, ask them what they think happens to the underlayment lap when water gets driven up underneath the course. It is the fastest way to turn a routine maintenance visit into a lift-and-relay a decade early.
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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile 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 tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile 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.
