FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for homes in Hillsboro that face frequent Pacific Northwest storms?
Metal roofs are engineered to stand up to the heavy rain, wind-driven debris, and occasional hail that sweep through Washington County every year. Powder-coated steel or aluminum panels have interlocking seams that shed water quickly, resist uplift in winds over 120 mph, and are impervious to the moss and algae growth that plagues conventional asphalt shingles in our damp climate. In short, metal offers unmatched durability, longer service life, and fewer storm-related repairs.
How well does a metal roof handle the intense rainfall common in the Hillsboro area?
Standing-seam and metal shingle systems have raised vertical seams and hidden fasteners that create a watertight barrier. Rain runs off quickly because metal is smooth and non-porous, minimizing the chance of ponding or leaks. A modern synthetic underlayment beneath the panels provides a secondary moisture shield, so even during record-setting downpours your roof deck remains protected.
Will a metal roof rust in the Pacific Northwest’s moist environment?
No. Today’s metal roofing panels are manufactured from Galvalume® (zinc-aluminum coated) or G-90 galvanized steel, or from corrosion-proof aluminum. They’re then finished with baked-on PVDF paint that resists rust, fading, and chalking. These coatings are specifically rated for marine and high-humidity zones, so your roof will stay rust-free despite our near-constant drizzle.
Is metal roofing energy-efficient for Hillsboro’s mix of cool, wet winters and warm summers?
Yes. Most metal panels meet Cool Roof standards, reflecting up to 70 % of solar heat in summer, which can lower attic temperatures by 20–30 °F and reduce air-conditioning demand. In winter, the panels work with proper insulation to retain indoor heat. Many Hillsboro homeowners report 10–20 % annual savings on energy bills after upgrading to metal.
What maintenance does a metal roof require during storm season?
Compared with other materials, upkeep is minimal. We recommend a quick visual inspection each spring and fall to clear branches or leaves from valleys and gutters, verify that sealant around vents is intact, and check that snow guards (if installed) are secure. Fasteners on exposed-screw systems should be retightened or replaced about every 10 years, while concealed-fastener roofs need virtually no adjustment. Routine care helps your metal roof perform flawlessly during high-wind and heavy-rain events.
How long will a metal roof last in Hillsboro and what warranties do you provide?
Properly installed metal roofs routinely last 50–70 years—double or triple the lifespan of asphalt shingles. Our Pacific Northwest Storms Roofing team backs every installation with a 10-year workmanship warranty, and the manufacturer supplies a 40- or 50-year transferable warranty against rust perforation and paint failure. That means decades of reliable storm protection with guaranteed peace of mind.
