When a beautiful home in the Portland metro area needed a new roof, the owners wanted more than just protection. They were looking for lasting durability, standout curb appeal, and the peace of mind that comes from hiring a trusted local contractor. Clear Vision Construction delivered with a complete roof replacement in Portland using GAF Grand Sequoia® shingles in Charcoal — and the result exceeded expectations.
Why GAF Grand Sequoia® Charcoal Shingles Were the Right Fit
Classic Wood-Shake Aesthetic
GAF’s Grand Sequoia® shingles replicate the look of traditional wood shakes while offering the proven performance of asphalt. Their extra-large tab design adds architectural interest, depth, and dimension—without the high cost and upkeep of natural wood shakes.
Bold Charcoal Color
The Charcoal color offers bold contrast against lighter siding and pairs well with stone or brick features. It also hides dirt and weathering better than many lighter options, providing a clean, striking appearance even under Oregon’s overcast skies.
Durability Built for the Pacific Northwest
Designed to perform in demanding climates, Grand Sequoia® shingles feature a Class A fire rating, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and StainGuard® protection to help prevent algae discoloration. These features make them ideal for the Pacific Northwest’s rainy, windy, and often damp environment.
StainGuard® Algae Protection
Equipped with copper-infused granules, these shingles resist blue-green algae growth—preserving your roof’s appearance over time. This built-in protection is especially valuable in the shaded, moist conditions common throughout the Portland area.
