Stanley Roof and Solar installs eco-friendly roofing throughout Vancouver, WA and the Portland metro, including Malarkey upcycled shingles, Ecoasis reflective lines, white TPO membrane, and standing seam metal. Options cost $10,000 to $30,000+ and pair naturally with solar.
A roof is one of the biggest material and energy decisions a home or business makes, and Vancouver’s mix of wet winters and warm summer sun affects both sides of that equation. Stanley Roof and Solar installs eco-conscious roofing options for homeowners and businesses across Clark County and the wider Portland-Vancouver metro as part of its full roofing services, matching each building to a system that holds up against this climate while cutting down on waste or energy use.
As a Malarkey Premium Certified contractor, we install recycled-material shingle systems and reflective, cool-roof options designed to work efficiently on their own, or as a natural complement to a future solar installation. Explore what sustainable roofing actually means for your property below, or see our full range of solar services if you’re planning both projects together.
From recycled-material shingles to reflective commercial membrane systems, we offer sustainable solutions suited to whatever type of property you’re roofing. Here’s a closer look at each option available to you.
Option | Recycled Content | Reflectivity | Expected Lifespan | Best For |
Malarkey Upcycled Shingles | Rubber and plastic content | Standard | 20–30 years | Residential homes wanting sustainable asphalt shingles |
Ecoasis Reflective Shingles | Recycled content, cool-roof granules | High | 20–30 years | Homeowners prioritizing energy efficiency |
White TPO Membrane | Varies by manufacturer | 80–88% solar reflectance | 15–25 years | Commercial flat and low-slope roofs |
Standing Seam Metal | High recycled content, fully recyclable | Reflects up to 70% of solar radiation | 40–70 years | Long-term ownership, solar pairing |
Stanley Roof and Solar installs Malarkey‘s NEX Polymer Modified Asphalt shingles on residential roofing projects, and the sustainability story starts inside the shingle itself. Malarkey blends upcycled rubber, sourced in part through its own Tire Incentive Program, and upcycled plastic from consumer bags into the asphalt core, which diverts waste material from landfills while making the shingle more resistant to hail and impact damage. The shingles also carry 3M smog-reducing granules, which convert smog particles in the air into water-soluble ions as rain washes over the roof.
Malarkey is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the nonprofit behind the LEED green building certification system, and homes built or re-roofed with sustainability credits in mind can factor Malarkey’s upcycled-material shingles into that documentation. Compare shingle options in more detail on the asphalt shingle roofing page.
For homeowners specifically prioritizing energy efficiency over the recycled-content story alone, Malarkey’s Ecoasis line takes a different approach: solar-reflective granules engineered to reflect heat away from the roof surface rather than absorbing it.
According to ENERGY STAR, reflective roofing products can lower roof surface temperatures significantly compared to standard dark materials, reducing the load on a building’s cooling system. Unlike a standard dark shingle, Ecoasis is designed to lower attic temperatures during Vancouver’s warmer summer stretches, easing the load on a home’s cooling system while maintaining the same architectural look and durability as Malarkey’s standard lines.
On commercial roofing projects, the eco-friendly option is white TPO membrane, which reflects sunlight by nature rather than through an added coating. A white TPO surface reflects 80 to 88 percent of solar energy, compared to a dark membrane that reflects a fraction of that, which keeps the roof surface cooler and reduces how hard a building’s air conditioning has to work on a hot day. This category of product, known as a cool roof, is the type of system the Cool Roof Rating Council tests and rates for solar reflectance and thermal emittance.
A cooler roof surface also slows the heat-driven aging that shortens membrane life, and on a larger scale, light-colored commercial roofs across a city reduce the urban heat island effect that makes dense commercial districts run hotter than surrounding areas.
Standing seam metal roofing rounds out the table as the longest-lived sustainable option available, lasting 40 to 70 years compared to 20 to 30 years for shingle systems. Its sustainability case rests less on reflectivity alone and more on longevity: metal roofing is made with a high percentage of recycled content and is fully recyclable again at the end of its service life, which spreads its manufacturing impact over decades longer than a shingle roof. It also reflects up to 70% of solar radiation, giving it real energy-efficiency benefits alongside its durability, and its non-penetrating mounting compatibility makes it a natural pairing for a future solar installation.
A roof replacement is also the right time to plan for solar. Installing solar panels on an aging roof often means pulling the panels back off within a few years to do the roof work that should have happened first, so homeowners and businesses planning solar get more out of the investment by handling the roof and the panels in the same project.
Stanley Roof and Solar’s solar services team works directly with the roofing crew, so a roof replacement and a solar installation can be sequenced back to back instead of scheduled as two separate jobs months apart.

Sustainability isn’t limited to what material goes on the roof. A regular roof maintenance plan, moss treatment, gutter clearing, and prompt minor repairs, extends any roofing system’s usable life well beyond what neglect allows, and getting more years out of an existing roof is one of the most overlooked forms of sustainable roofing.
Timely roof repair plays a similar role. Fixing an isolated issue while it’s small avoids the far larger material and labor footprint of a premature full replacement, so a well-maintained roof of any material ends up being the more sustainable choice than a neglected one that fails early. Proper attic ventilation matters here too, since a roof that manages heat and moisture correctly ages more slowly and performs closer to its full rated lifespan, reducing how often materials need to be manufactured and installed in the first place.
A roof that’s quietly driving up energy costs doesn’t always announce itself with an obvious problem. Here’s what to look for if efficiency is on your mind.
Cost varies by material choice, roof size, and whether solar is part of the project. Here’s a general range to help set expectations before your free, on-site estimate.
Option | Typical Cost Range | Notes |
Recycled-Material Asphalt Shingles (Ecoasis) | $10,000–$22,000 | Comparable to premium architectural shingle pricing |
Cool Roof / Reflective Shingle Systems | $10,000–$22,000 | Similar cost to standard architectural shingles, energy savings offset over time |
Standing Seam Metal Roofing (Recyclable, Long-Lived) | $15,000–$30,000+ | Higher upfront cost, spread over a much longer service life |
Roof + Solar Panel Installation (Combined Project) | Varies by system size | Often more cost-effective than two separate projects |
Roof Maintenance (Life-Extension Plan) | $0–$150 per visit | Often free or reduced when paired with an inspection |
These figures reflect typical scopes in the Vancouver and Portland metro and aren’t a substitute for an actual quote, since roof size, material availability, and whether solar is included can all shift the final number. Stanley Roof and Solar provides a free, detailed estimate so you know exactly what your specific project will cost before any work begins. Financing options are also available for larger projects.

An eco-friendly roof either uses materials made with recycled or upcycled content, like Malarkey's rubber- and plastic-blended shingles, or reduces a building's energy use, like a reflective white TPO membrane that keeps a commercial roof cooler.
Yes, though the effect is more modest here than in hotter, sunnier climates. Reflective shingles still help lower attic temperatures during Vancouver's warmer summer stretches, reducing strain on cooling systems.
Stanley Roof and Solar installs Malarkey shingles made with upcycled rubber and plastic and 3M smog-reducing granules, as part of its residential roofing services.
White TPO membrane, a reflective cool roof system rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council, is the primary sustainable option for commercial roofing projects.
In many ways, yes, since standing seam metal contains recycled content, lasts decades longer, and is fully recyclable at the end of its service life, spreading its environmental impact over a much longer lifespan.
Recycled-material and reflective shingle systems typically cost $10,000 to $22,000, comparable to premium architectural shingles, while long-lived standing seam metal runs $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Stanley Roof and Solar provides a free, detailed estimate so you know your exact cost before any work begins.
Ecoasis is Malarkey's solar-reflective shingle line, using specially engineered granules to reflect heat away from the roof while maintaining the same architectural look and durability as standard lines.
Yes, extending a roof's usable life through regular maintenance reduces how often materials need to be manufactured and replaced, making it one of the simplest and most overlooked forms of sustainability.
Incentives are more commonly tied to solar installation than roofing materials alone, though pairing an efficient roof with solar can improve overall system performance and long-term savings.
A free inspection is the best way to find out, since roof age, orientation, and remaining lifespan all factor into whether a full replacement or a targeted upgrade makes more sense.
Yes. Stanley Roof and Solar offers financing for residential and commercial roofing projects so owners can spread the cost across monthly payments.
Whether you need a fast repair, a full roof replacement, or a solar system installed by a team that actually understands roofs, you’re one call away from a straight answer and a free estimate.
