🌲 Portland Roofing Material Considerations
Cedar Shake Roofs
Common in Portland's historic neighborhoods. Cedar debris is accepted but may have additional weight due to moss and moisture retention in Oregon's climate.
Moss-Covered Materials
Portland's wet climate promotes moss growth. Moss-covered shingles and debris are accepted but add significant weight to your container.
Green Roof Components
Portland's eco-roofs contain soil and plants. Soil is not accepted in roofing dumpsters - requires separate disposal through garden waste services.
Common Roofing Projects We Handle in Portland
Professional roofing dumpster solutions for every type of roof project in the Portland metro area
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacements
Portland's most common roofing project. We provide 20-yard dumpsters for typical 1,500-2,500 sq ft homes. Perfect for single-layer architectural or 3-tab shingle tear-offs in neighborhoods like Laurelhurst, Sellwood, and Alberta.
Cedar Shake Roof Tear-Offs
Common in Portland's historic districts like Irvington and Ladd's Addition. Cedar shakes absorb moisture and moss, requiring careful weight calculations. We provide containers sized for heavy, waterlogged materials.
Commercial Flat Roof Projects
Built-up roofing (BUR) tear-offs for Portland's commercial and industrial buildings. These projects involve multiple layers of tar, gravel, and roofing membrane requiring heavy-duty containers and extended rental periods.
Fire-Resistant Roofing Installations
Increasing demand in Portland's wildfire interface zones. Disposal of old materials when upgrading to Class A fire-rated roofing systems. Special handling for tile and metal roofing debris.
Multi-Layer Shingle Removals
Portland's older homes often have 2-3 layers of shingles. Code requires complete tear-off before new installation. These heavy tear-offs require careful container sizing and weight management.
Green Roof Component Removal
Portland's eco-conscious market includes green roofs and living roof systems. We handle the roofing materials while coordinating with garden waste services for soil and plant disposal.
Storm Damage Roof Repairs
Portland's winter storms and occasional ice events damage roofing systems. Emergency dumpster service for wind-damaged shingles, fallen trees, and weather-related debris cleanup.
Solar Integration Roofing
Portland homeowners increasingly add solar panels during roof replacement. We coordinate timing for old roofing disposal before solar installation, working with your solar contractor's schedule.
Multi-Family Roofing Projects
Apartments, condos, and townhomes throughout Portland require large-scale roofing solutions. We provide multiple containers or extended rental periods for phased roofing projects.
🌦️ Portland Roofing Season Considerations
Spring (Mar-May)
Peak roofing season in Portland. High demand for dumpsters. Book 48+ hours ahead. Weather can still be unpredictable.
Summer (Jun-Aug)

Fall (Sep-Nov)
Last chance for major roofing before rains. Moss and debris accumulation from summer. Emergency storm cleanup services begin.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
Limited roofing work in Portland. Emergency repairs only. Saturated materials are significantly heavier. Indoor storage recommended.

📐 Portland Roofing Square Calculations
What is a Roofing Square?
A roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof area. Portland roofers use squares to estimate materials and container needs for tear-off projects.
Calculating Your Portland Roof
Multiply length × width of each roof section, add together, then divide by 100. Portland's complex rooflines may require professional measurement.
Portland Roof Pitch Factors
Steep Portland roofs (common for rain drainage) require pitch factor multipliers. 6:12 pitch = 1.12x, 8:12 pitch = 1.20x actual square footage.
