Sustainability at Columbia Roofing & Sheet Metal
At Columbia Roofing and Sheet Metal, we are committed to maintaining responsible and sustainable roofing practices and products. We are a Portland Oregon based company, and like many Oregonians, we think it is our responsibility to take care of this incredible environment that we are blessed to be able to enjoy every day. We are also a roofing focused company. Within our industry, we have two main focuses:
- Using environmentally friendly products
- Utilizing progressive and responsible roofing practices
By concentrating on these two points, we are able to help building owners lower the cost of their heating and utilities, while also helping mitigate other environmental threats.
In addition to roofing practices we recycle all that we can in our office as well. Each individual office has their own recycle bin next to the trash can. We have also programed our copy machines to default print on both sides. We take great care in making sure we can be as green as possible.

- Re-roofing with Cool Roof Rating Council certified products ensure cool interior temperatures during hot summer months and lowering utility cooling costs
- Adding insulation on top of roof decks in order to help a building’s overall efficiency and, in some cases, qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon rebate incentives.
