Apple Roofing and Construction
Gearhart Oregon Roofing Contractor
Licensed · Bonded · Insured | Roofing for Gearhart's Beach Cottages & Coastal Homes
Integrity to the Core
Gearhart sits right on the open Clatsop Plains, between the Pacific and the Necanicum estuary, with little to slow the wind coming off the ocean. Its classic shingle-style cottages, newer beach homes, and homes along the golf links all share the same challenge: long, wet winters, salt air, and storms that test every roof edge and flashing detail.
Apple Roofing keeps Gearhart roofs ready for that weather. We handle roof repairs before and after storm season, full roof replacements, metal roofing, gutters, and moss cleanup. We're based minutes up the coast in Astoria, we answer the phone 24/7, and we're rated 5.0 stars from more than 100 Google reviews.

Some of Our Reviews
“They have done two roof repair projects over the last 12 months on my home, making sure my roof is ready for the high winds and rain in Gearhart. They were highly recommended and I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their Roof.”
— Phil, Gearhart
“We had some recent storm damaged in Seaside and Apple Roofing replaced the siding and did some gutter work for us. Chris had very good recommendations on getting the job done so that the house withstands future storms.”
— Yan, Seaside
“Christopher (and the team at Apple Roofing) did a terrific job on our new roof this fall. His communication was excellent and I'm grateful that he squeezed in our job on the last dry weekend in October.”
— David
Our Gearhart Services
Roof Replacement
If your roof is past its prime, leaking in more than one spot, or covered in moss, a replacement protects everything under it. We inspect decking, flashing, and ventilation and walk you through material options suited to Gearhart's wind and salt air. Learn about roof replacement
Roof Repair & Storm Damage
Lifted or missing shingles, damaged vents, and failed flashing are common after a Clatsop Plains windstorm. We respond quickly, stop active leaks, and make lasting repairs.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a long-lasting, wind-resistant option for many coastal homes. We'll help you decide whether it's right for your home's style and exposure.
Roof Cleaning & Moss Treatment
Coastal moisture and shade from shore pine and hedges keep moss growing year-round. Cleaning and treatment help your roof last.
Gutters & Siding
Wind-driven rain finds every weak spot. We repair and replace gutters and siding so water stays outside where it belongs.
Skylights
We replace and reflash skylights that have started to leak in sideways rain.
Roofing for Gearhart Conditions
Open, windy ground: Gearhart's flat coastal plain and dunes give wind a clear run at your roof. Ridges, eaves, and rakes take the most stress, so secure edge detailing matters as much as the roofing material itself.
Salt air: Homes near the beach and along Ocean Avenue see more salt exposure than homes closer to Highway 101. Salt shortens the life of exposed metal components, vents, and fasteners.
Classic cottage architecture: Many Gearhart homes have steep roofs, dormers, and traditional shingle styling. Roofing them well takes care with transitions and flashing – and an eye for keeping the home's character.
Planning your project: Requirements for exterior work can vary. Check with the City of Gearhart before major projects, and we'll help you understand what your roof replacement involves.
Timing: Fall is the busiest season on the coast. Booking your inspection or replacement early helps you get the work done before the first big storms.

Yes. Gearhart is part of our regular service area along with Seaside, Warrenton, Cannon Beach, and Astoria.
Can you inspect my roof before storm season?

Is metal roofing a good choice in Gearhart?
For many homes, yes – metal is long-lasting and stands up well to wind. The best choice depends on your home's style, its distance from the ocean, and your goals. We'll walk you through the options.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 25-year labor warranty. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product.
