Stanley Roof and Solar is a Malarkey Premium Certified roofing and solar contractor serving Longview, WA. Licensed under STANLRS798P6, the company installs asphalt shingle and standing seam metal roofing, handles solar panel installation, and builds every project around Longview’s riverside humidity, heavy tree canopy, and mill-era housing stock.
Longview is a planned city, laid out in the 1920s by R.A. Long and the Long-Bell Lumber Company at the confluence of the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers. That planning history means the housing stock varies more than a typical suburb: original mill-era homes with steep-pitched roofs in the neighborhoods around Lake Sacajawea and downtown, newer construction on the city’s outskirts, and a working industrial and port district along the river that still relies on paper, wood, and shipping industries.
As a trusted Longview roofing contractor, Stanley Roof and Solar works across that full range. We’re a licensed, bonded, and BBB accredited contractor covering roofing and solar under one company, so Longview homeowners and business owners get one point of contact instead of separate roofer and solar crews.
Longview runs its own building permit process through the City of Longview, and we pull the correct permits for every roof replacement, new installation, and solar system so inspections pass on the first try. The city’s nickname, “City of Trees,” is well earned: heavy tree canopy across many older neighborhoods drives most of the moss growth, gutter clogs, and shaded-roof wear we see on Longview jobs.
When a roof in Vancouver or the Portland metro has aged past patching, a full roof replacement protects the home underneath it. We start with an honest assessment, since the team would rather repair a salvageable roof than sell an unnecessary job.
Stanley Roof and Solar's roof repair service addresses the specific problem, whether that's a handful of shingles that are damaged, flashing that has failed around a chimney, or a section of roof that has simply reached the end of its life faster than the rest of it.
Southwest Washington and the Portland metro see their share of windstorms, heavy rain events, and the occasional hail or ice damage that can loosen shingles, crack flashing, or strip granules faster than normal wear.
A thorough roof inspection catches problems while they're still small and inexpensive to fix, which matters especially since moss growth, trapped moisture, and gutter backups can quietly damage a roof for months before a leak ever shows up inside.
We work directly with builders, contractors, and homeowners to install roofing systems that meet code and perform well in Pacific Northwest conditions from day one, including proper ventilation, underlayment, and flashing details that matter more here than in drier climates.
Regular roof maintenance is one of the most overlooked ways to extend a roof's life. Our maintenance service includes moss treatment and removal, gutter clearing, minor repairs, and a full visual inspection, so small issues get caught before they turn into a leak.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material for homes throughout Vancouver and the Portland metro. They perform well against rain and wind, come in a wide range of styles and colors, and offer strong value for the durability they provide.
For homeowners in Vancouver and the Portland metro area who want a roof built to outlast a typical asphalt shingle system, Stanley Roof and Solar installs true standing seam metal roofing, not the click-lock panel systems some contractors use as a cheaper substitute.
We have earned Malarkey's highest available contractor certification. That means the Malarkey roofing systems we install are backed by strong manufacturer warranties and installed to Malarkey's exact specifications.
Residential projects are handled with the same no-pressure approach we are known for, with clear explanations of what's actually needed instead of what generates the biggest invoice. Materials range from asphalt shingles to standing seam metal and full Malarkey systems.
Commercial roofs face different demands than residential ones, including larger surface areas, different drainage needs, and less tolerance for downtime during repairs, and our commercial work is scheduled and managed with those realities in mind.
For homeowners who want their roof to reflect a commitment to sustainability, our eco-friendly roofing options include Malarkey's recycled-material shingle systems and roofing designed to work efficiently alongside a solar installation.
A roof is only as effective as the gutter system managing where that water goes. Our gutter installation service is typically paired with roof replacement or repair projects, since gutters and roofing work together to protect a home's foundation, siding, and landscaping.
Our solar panel installation service is designed around a simple idea: the roof and the solar system on top of it should be planned together. Our solar work is backed by strong warranties and is a natural fit for homeowners already investing in a new roof.
Our solar maintenance and panel cleaning service keeps installed systems performing at or near their rated output, along with routine checks for wiring, mounting hardware, and any early signs of an issue that could affect performance or safety.
Longview’s location at the meeting point of the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers means homes and businesses here deal with a level of riverside humidity and moisture exposure that most inland Clark County communities don’t face in the same way. Combined with the heavy tree canopy that earned the city its “City of Trees” nickname, a roof in Longview works harder against trapped moisture, moss growth, and shaded decay than a comparable roof in a drier, more open part of the region.
According to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, forested and heavily wooded regions of Southwest Washington see elevated humidity levels beneath the canopy, conditions that accelerate the breakdown of roofing materials not specifically built to resist sustained moisture. That’s exactly why material quality and correct installation carry real weight in Longview, whether it’s a century-old mill-era home near Lake Sacajawea or a newer build on the city’s outskirts. A properly installed, climate-appropriate roof protects the structure underneath it for decades, which is why Longview property owners are better served by a Malarkey Premium Certified contractor than the lowest available bid.
Every roofing project in Longview follows the same clear process, so there’s never any guesswork about what happens next.

Reflective, cool-roof shingle options and standing seam metal both help reduce attic heat during Longview's warmer summer stretches, though savings are more modest here than in hotter, sunnier climates.
Most roof repairs run between $300 and $1,500, while full replacements typically cost $8,000 to $24,000 depending on size, material, and pitch. A free inspection gives you an exact number either way.
Most asphalt shingle roofs here last 20 to 30 years, though Longview's riverside humidity and heavy tree cover can shorten that range without regular maintenance.
Look for bruised or cracked shingles, granules collecting in gutters, and dented flashing or vents, since storm damage is often easy to miss without a close inspection.
Most residential roof replacements are completed within one to three days, weather permitting, depending on the size and complexity of the roof.
A roof inspection is the most reliable way to tell. Age, the extent of damage, and how many previous repairs the roof has had all factor into an honest recommendation from Stanley Roof and Solar.
Storm damage calls are prioritized, though response times may run slightly longer than properties closer to our Vancouver office, given Longview's distance north.
In most cases, yes. Longview runs its own permitting process, and Stanley Roof and Solar handles that paperwork directly so homeowners don't have to navigate it themselves.
It depends on your roof's orientation and shading, which is exactly what we check during your free inspection. Unshaded rooflines on newer builds along Longview's outskirts typically see the strongest solar production, while heavily wooded lots in the historic core need a closer shading assessment first.
Yes, financing options are available to spread the cost of a roof replacement, repair, or solar installation into 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.
