What’s that on my Roof?

It may come as a surprise to you when you look up at your newly installed roof and see a small but bright piece of metal protruding from the ridge cap. Don’t be alarmed, it is one of many permanent roof safety anchors that were installed on your roof for the current and future safety of any professional that may need to access your roof.

Cascade Roofing Portland has been installing these rooftop safety devices during roof projects for decades. But only recently have we decided that once we leave the job site we will leave them for future use. Many other trades in the Portland, Tigard, and Beaverton areas such as gutter installers or chimney sweeps are demanding that these safety features be available to them when their on your roof. And if you do your own roof and gutter cleaning, make sure you have a rope and harness set-up attached to a permanent roof anchor.
