Stanley Roof and Solar is a family-owned contractor based in Vancouver, Washington, built around a simple idea: the roof and the solar system on top of it should be handled by one accountable team, not two separate companies.

For more on the company’s certifications and history, visit the About page.

Yes, our team handles roofing and solar work under a single contract, which keeps accountability for roof penetrations and warranty coverage with one contractor instead of two.
A roof inspection is the most reliable way to tell the difference, since damage that looks minor from the ground sometimes turns out to be isolated while other issues point to a system near the end of its life. Roof repair or roof replacement gets recommended only after that assessment, not before.
Granule loss in the gutters, daylight visible through the attic, curling or lifting shingle edges, a sagging roofline, and a roof approaching 20 years old are the most common warning signs. A roof inspection can confirm which of these, if any, apply to a specific roof.
Timelines depend on the size and pitch of the roof, the material chosen, and the weather during the project window. A roof inspection and estimate is the first step toward a project-specific timeline.
Yes, emergency roofing covers active leaks and storm damage that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment, with a tarp and temporary seal to stop water from spreading while a permanent fix is scheduled.
Schedule an inspection before filing an insurance claim, since documented storm damage roof repair findings from a licensed contractor carry more weight with an adjuster than a homeowner's own assessment.
Most roofs in the Vancouver and Portland metro area benefit from an inspection at least once a year, ideally before the rainy season, given the region's moss growth and heavy rainfall. Roof maintenance, like gutter clearing and moss treatment, is often done on the same schedule to catch small issues before they become bigger problems.
Most residential projects use Malarkey asphalt shingle systems, and standing seam metal roofing is available for homeowners who want a longer-lived, lower-maintenance system.
Malarkey certifies contractors in tiers, and Stanley Roof and Solar holds the highest tier, Certified Premium, which Malarkey only awards after a contractor completes advanced training and has installed work reviewed by Malarkey's own technical team. That certification unlocks combined material and workmanship warranty coverage, detailed on the Malarkey Roofing Systems page.
Neither is the better choice in every case; metal costs more upfront but lasts longer and sheds snow and water faster, while Malarkey shingles cost less to start and cover a wider range of architectural styles. A roof inspection and estimate can compare both options against a specific roof and budget.
Yes, eco roofing covers reflective and cool-roof shingle options along with improved attic ventilation, and is a frequent pairing with a solar panel installation for homeowners focused on lowering energy costs.
Roof age, pitch, orientation, and remaining shingle life all factor into whether a roof is ready for solar, which is why solar panel installation starts with a look at the roof underneath the array, not just the panels themselves.
Yes, solar services cover both residential and commercial roofing properties, sized to the building's actual energy use.
It can, if the installer isn't also the roofing contractor. Because Stanley Roof and Solar handles both trades, solar mounting is planned to avoid compromising roof warranty coverage. Full detail is on the Warranty page.
Most residential solar installations are completed within one to a few days, depending on system size, though the process from estimate to activation, including permitting and utility interconnection, takes longer overall.
Regular solar panel cleaning keeps production close to rated output, since pollen, wildfire ash, and winter grime build up on the panel surface over time.
Yes, and it is often more efficient to handle both in the same project; a roof replacement paired with solar panel installation means the roof underneath the array is new instead of aging out a few years into the system's life.
Yes, financing is available for roof replacement, major repair, and solar installation projects, with a short online application. Full detail is on the Financing page.
Most Malarkey shingle systems carry a Limited Lifetime manufacturer warranty, and because Stanley Roof and Solar is a Malarkey Certified Premium contractor, qualifying roof systems can also carry Malarkey's enhanced Certified Premium Warranty, combining material and workmanship coverage. Full detail is on the Warranty page.
No, every project carries the same manufacturer and workmanship warranty whether it is paid in cash or financed.
Yes, storm damage roof repair includes documentation of the damage that supports an insurance claim, though the claim itself is filed with the homeowner's insurance company. The Insurance Information Institute has a useful independent overview of what to expect when filing a homeowner's insurance claim after storm damage.
