Choose your starting point
A clear path forward
A consultation request starts a conversation. It does not create an appointment or contract by itself.
Choose the closest project type, share the project address, and add the context you already have.
We use your preferred contact method to answer early questions and arrange a site visit when it makes sense.
When a project moves forward, the written scope explains the work, materials, payment schedule, and project expectations.
The final terms depend on the home, the selected work, and the signed project documents.
Roofing in the Pacific Northwest
Twenty years of rain, moss and wind do predictable things to a roof. Knowing them helps you compare proposals and spot the corners cheap bids cut.
Seattle averages around 37 inches of rain spread across roughly 150 wet days a year. That long, gentle soak is harder on a roof than one big storm: water finds the slow failures first—lifted flashing at a chimney, a cracked pipe boot, a valley packed with fir needles. Most leaks we investigate are not a “bad roof,” they are one detail that gave up. A good inspection tells you which it is before anyone talks about replacement.
Shaded north slopes and tree cover across Seattle, the Eastside and Snohomish County grow moss that lifts shingle edges and holds water against the roof deck. Treatment and gentle removal extend a roof’s life; pressure washing shortens it. We will tell you which your roof needs and when it is past saving.
Rule of thumb: if moss is lifting shingle tabs or you can see granule loss below it, get the roof looked at this season rather than next.
Bothell, Everett and the convergence-zone corridor see gustier storms than Seattle proper; Tacoma and the south Sound get open exposure off Commencement Bay. Correct nailing patterns, sealed starter courses and ridge-cap fastening are where wind damage is prevented—and where cheap installs cut corners.
Craftsman-era Seattle and Tacoma houses often carry two or three layers of shingle over original plank decking. Tear-off, disposal and decking repairs are real line items. Eastside ramblers converted from cedar shake may still have skip sheathing that needs solid decking before shingles can go on. A written scope that names these assumptions is the only way to compare bids fairly.
Seattle (SDCI) and Bellevue do not require a permit for a like-for-like re-roof on a single-family home unless sheathing or the roof structure is replaced; most other cities—Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, Everett, Renton and Tacoma among them—have a re-roof permit process, and historic districts can add review. We confirm what applies to your address, and the proposal states what is included so permit handling is never a surprise.
Our free estimate checklist walks through all of this line by line.

Roofing questions
It depends on roof size, pitch, how many layers come off, decking condition and the product you choose. In 2026, architectural asphalt shingles in the Seattle area run roughly $6.50 to $10.50 per square foot installed—about $13,000 to $21,000 for a typical 2,000-square-foot roof—and standing-seam metal roughly double that. Our Seattle roof replacement cost guide breaks the ranges down by roof size. Treat any number given without a site visit as a planning range. Our estimate is free, in person, and itemized so you can see what drives the price.
Roofs are replaced year-round here. Late spring through early fall offers the most predictable dry windows, but a well-run crew tears off only what it can dry-in the same day, so winter replacements are routine. Repairs and tarping happen in any season.
Often, when damage is sudden—wind-lifted shingles, a fallen limb—rather than wear. We document the damage with photos, write a clear scope, and can walk through it with your adjuster. Policies differ, so confirm your deductible and coverage with your carrier.
Yes. Roofing is the company’s primary focus, including residential asphalt-shingle and metal roofing. The right assembly and scope depend on the home, existing conditions, and the materials named in the written proposal.
No. Start with what you have noticed, the approximate age if you know it, and what you want to understand. The next conversation can determine whether a repair investigation or replacement discussion makes sense.
A useful proposal should identify the included removal and disposal, deck assumptions, underlayment and leak protection, flashing and ventilation work, named materials, cleanup, payment timing, and applicable warranty documents.
Start with your roof
Share what you have noticed, the roof's approximate age and the project address. A request is a conversation, not a commitment—appointment timing is confirmed separately.
