The Challenge
This project started with a roof that needed more than a quick patch. The home had roughly 1,846 square feet of aging roofing material due for replacement, along with up to 40 feet of fascia boards. The existing gutter system and downspouts had also reached the end of their life, which meant the roofline and drainage details had to be addressed together instead of as separate repairs.
In Vancouver, WA, that kind of wear can quickly become a bigger issue. Once roofing materials, fascia, and drainage components all start to break down at the same time, water has more opportunities to work its way into vulnerable edges and transitions. Our goal was to replace the failing roof system, refresh the trim details along the roofline, and leave the home with better drainage and more dependable protection.
Our Approach
We started by removing the existing fascia and barge board materials and cleaning beneath the metal flashings at the roof line. Before installing anything new, we inspected the rafter tails and lookout boards to make sure the structure below was still in good condition. A new roof system performs best when the supporting wood below it is solid and ready for the long term.
Once the roofline was prepped, we fastened primed white wood fascia and barge boards to the rafter tails, caulked the necessary joints for a clean finished look, and moved into the roofing work itself. We installed a Malarkey Highlander Roof System to give the home a durable new surface built for the Pacific Northwest's wet weather. As a Malarkey Emerald Pro Certified contractor, we're able to back this installation with our 25-year labor warranty and enhanced manufacturer coverage, which is a level of protection most local roofers can't match.
Around key transition points like the chimney or skylight, we removed the old base flashing and replaced it with new flashing during installation so those leak-prone areas were protected as part of the complete system. We also replaced the existing gutters and downspouts with high-quality, pre-painted seamless galvanized steel gutters in a 5K or 6K style, paired with high-volume 2x3 downspouts for better drainage. Bringing the roofing, fascia, flashing, and gutter work together in one coordinated project gave this Vancouver property a cleaner finish and a more complete upgrade than a piecemeal repair would have delivered.
Before & After Results
Before the work, the home's roofline showed the kinds of issues that are often seen together: worn roofing materials, fascia that needed replacement, and an outdated gutter system that no longer offered the level of protection the house needed. After the project, the property had a refreshed roof system with updated trim details, new flashing at critical transitions, and seamless gutters designed to move water away from the home more efficiently.
That finished result changed both the function and the appearance of the home. The new Malarkey system gave the roof a more uniform, dependable surface, while the new fascia and gutter installation sharpened the roofline and improved drainage performance. For a home in Vancouver, WA, those details make a real difference in how well the exterior holds up through frequent rain and long stretches of damp weather.

Why Roof Replacement Works in Vancouver, WA
Vancouver homes face sustained rainfall, damp winters, and moss and algae growth over the course of the year, putting extra pressure on roofing materials, flashing, and drainage systems. A professionally installed roof protects the home from that constant moisture, while updated fascia and gutters reinforce the edges of the roof where water management matters most.
That is especially important in the Pacific Northwest, where wet conditions can expose weak points quickly if trim, flashing, or gutters are already wearing out. By pairing a new roof system with new fascia and seamless gutters, we gave this home a more complete exterior upgrade that is better suited to local conditions.
