What's different about roofs in Hood River
At 31" of rain per year, Hood River is a moderate climate for roofing — not dry enough that UV is the dominant concern, not wet enough that moss and algae are a constant fight, so standard maintenance intervals generally apply. With average lows around 41°F in Hood River, occasional freeze-thaw cycling is possible in colder snaps, though it's not a dominant seasonal concern the way it is in harsher winter climates.
Hood River's temperature range doesn't impose the kind of seasonal sealing or safety constraints seen in more extreme climates, so roofing work can generally be scheduled with more flexibility here than in places with harsher winters or summers.
Hood River's climate doesn't push toward one clear material choice over another — standard asphalt shingles (typically lasting 20-25 (moss/algae growth can shorten effective life without maintenance) years in Oregon) remain a solid, cost-effective default here.
