Asphalt architectural shingles remain the top pick for most single-family homes, but Portland’s wet winters demand upgraded performance. CountBricks advisors walk you through three tiers:
• Standard architectural: Budget-friendly, 30-year rating, best for tight timelines
• Algae-resistant laminate: Engineered granules resist the darker streaks common in PNW humidity
• Impact-rated composite: Heavier mat and SBS modifiers defend against wind-driven branches
All options are modeled inside the CountBricks estimating engine, letting you compare price versus lifespan on a single screen.
The City of Portland requires permits for any structural or sheathing changes. CountBricks handles the paperwork in three steps:
1. Digital submission via the city’s portal using CountBricks auto-filled forms
2. Coordination of on-site inspection windows and crew scheduling
3. Instant update to your client portal when approvals land
This end-to-end approach keeps your project on the right side of local ordinance without slowing momentum.
1. Day 1 – Tear-off and deck inspection
2. Day 2 – Plywood repair and underlayment installation
3. Day 3 – Starter rows, valleys, and field shingle layout
4. Day 4 – Ridge caps, flashing, and site cleanup
Adverse weather can extend the schedule. CountBricks pushes live notifications to your phone when rain delays are forecast.
Every home is unique, but CountBricks data from 150+ recent Portland installs shows these averages:
• Tear-off and disposal: 15 % of total budget
• Sheathing repair: 5 – 12 % depending on deck condition
• Shingle and underlayment materials: 45 % of total
• Labor and safety setup: 25 %
• Permits, inspection, contingency: 3 – 8 %
Our AI estimates update daily lumber and landfill rates so your quote reflects today’s market, not last quarter’s flyer.
• Schedule a moss treatment every 18 months to prevent shingle lift
• Keep gutters clear so standing water does not wick under starter rows

• Install ridge ventilation to balance attic moisture year-round
• Use stainless fasteners to combat coastal salt carried by prevailing winds
• Instant voice-to-estimate frees owners from late-night spreadsheet sessions

A 1924 Craftsman in SE Portland suffered chronic leaks around its dormers. Using CountBricks blueprint takeoffs, our partner crew captured every intersecting plane down to half-inch increments. The homeowner requested algae-resistant shingles in forest green to match historic trim. CountBricks returned a signed contract in 24 hours, scheduled tear-off within the week, and closed the job four days ahead of the rainy season. Post-install moisture readings showed a 38 % drop in attic humidity.

Selecting the right shingle is the single biggest factor in lifespan after proper installation. CountBricks catalogs over 40 SKUs in our estimating engine, but they fall into three performance bands.
• 30-year manufacturer rating under ideal conditions
• Lighter weight means faster install and lower labor cost
• Good choice for rental properties or owners planning to sell within a decade
• Copper-infused granules resist the dark streaks common in Portland’s damp shade
• Adds roughly 8 % to material cost but preserves curb appeal longer
• Strong ROI for homes with lighter siding colors where staining is obvious
• UL 2218 Class 4 impact score stands up to falling fir cones and occasional hail
• SBS-modified asphalt stays flexible in winter freezes, reducing crack risk
• Heavier mat can extend install time by one day, so plan crew size accordingly
1. During the initial voice call, the homeowner states goals—budget, longevity, aesthetics.
