Residential Roofing in Washington means a roof that sheds 40 inches of rain, holds up to 60 mph gusts, and still looks right from the curb. We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, and TPO membrane on homes from Kent to Selah, and we repair the leaks, missing shingles, and moss growth that come with living here. One crew, one warranty, no runaround.
Residential Roofing in Washington is the design, installation, repair, and maintenance of the roof system on a single-family home, duplex, or small multi-unit building. That means more than nailing down shingles. A complete assembly runs from the decking up: ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, roofing felt or synthetic underlayment across the field, flashing at every wall and chimney, ridge vents for attic exhaust, and roofing screws or hot-mopped seams on the flat sections.
Most of the calls we run in Washington start with water where it should not be. A stain on the ceiling after a wind-driven storm, granules piling up in the gutter, moss creeping across the north slope, or a flashing failure behind a chimney that only shows up in November. We handle residential roof repair Washington homeowners call about most, plus full residential roof replacement Washington when the deck is too far gone to patch.
Every full replacement we sell includes the items below. Repairs are scoped individually, so you only pay for what your roof actually needs. If something is an add-on, like skylight replacement or gutter guards, we price it separately and tell you upfront.
We strip existing shingles, underlayment, and flashing down to the deck, then haul it off in a dumpster we place on site. On most homes that is one to three layers of old material removed, with the deck inspected and any soft sheathing replaced before we build back up.
Self-adhering membrane installed at the eaves, valleys, and around every penetration. In Washington we run it at least 24 inches past the interior wall line, which is what stops ice dams and wind-driven rain from backing under the shingles during a January thaw.
Synthetic underlayment or roofing felt across the field, plus new step flashing, counterflashing, and pipe boots at every wall, chimney, and vent. Flashing failure is one of the top causes of roof leaks, so we replace it rather than reuse old metal.
Intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge, balanced so the attic breathes. Proper ventilation cuts attic heat, reduces ice dams, and extends shingle life. We check for clogged or missing soffit vents while we are up there.
Magnet sweep of the lawn and driveway, gutter blow-out, and a final walk with the crew lead. You leave with manufacturer warranty documents, our workmanship warranty, and photos of the finished roof assembly for your records.
We walk the roof, check the attic from inside, and photograph the flashing, valleys, and decking. You get a written report with the problem areas marked and a recommendation: repair, restore, or replace. Takes about 60 to 90 minutes on an average home.
You get a line-item scope within 24 hours: squares, shingle brand and line, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, vents, tear-off, dumpster, and labor. We note what would change the price, like rotted decking or a second layer to strip.
Materials land the day before or the morning of. We tarp landscaping, set ladder stabilizers, and stage the dumpster where it will not block your driveway. You meet the crew lead, who stays on site for the whole job.
We strip to the deck, replace any soft sheathing, then run ice and water shield, underlayment, drip edge, and field shingles. Ridge vents and flashing go on last. A standard 20-square ranch is a one-day tear-off and a one-day install.
We magnet-sweep the lawn and driveway twice, blow out the gutters, and walk the roof with you. You get the manufacturer's warranty paperwork, our workmanship warranty, and photos of the finished assembly before we pull out.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Drives shingle nails to consistent depth and placement. We set it so field shingles get six nails and hips and ridges get four, which is what the manufacturer requires for warranty coverage.
Fall protection on every pitch above 6/12, plus a stabilizer that keeps ladders from shifting on gutters. Non-negotiable on two-story homes and steep slopes.
Pry bar lifts old shingles and flashing without tearing good decking. The shingle cutter gives clean edges at valleys, hips, and gable ends instead of ragged cuts that catch wind.
Layout control. We snap courses so shingle exposure stays even across the whole roof, which is what makes a finished roof look straight from the street and keeps the nailing pattern consistent.
Final cleanup. Blower clears granules and debris from valleys and gutters, and the magnet sweeper picks up stray nails from the lawn and driveway, run twice before we leave.
A 1978 ranch had a recurring ceiling stain over the back bedroom. Two prior contractors had caulked the chimney from the ground and called it fixed. Water kept coming in every time the wind blew from the south.
We found failed step flashing and a cracked counterflashing at the chimney, replaced both, and resealed the surrounding shingles.
A 22-square 1960s ranch had three layers of shingles, moss across the north slope, and soft sheathing at two valleys. The homeowner was patching leaks every spring and had stopped getting quotes.
We stripped all three layers, replaced four sheets of sheathing, and installed algae-resistant architectural shingles with new ice and water shield, flashing, and ridge vents. Two-day install, 30-year material warranty.
A spring hailstorm bruised shingles across the west slope of a 2005 home. The damage was not visible from the ground and the homeowner assumed there was nothing to claim.
We inspected, documented bruised mat and cracked shingles with photos, and worked with the adjuster. The claim covered a full west-slope replacement, completed in one day with matching shingles.
Most Washington roofs fail the same handful of ways. Here is what we see, what happens if you leave it, and how we fix it.
Ask a pro →We trace the leak from the attic side, not just the roof surface, and repair the source. That might be a pipe boot, a valley, or a flashing failure. We test with water before we close it up and give you photos of the repair.
We treat moss growth, not just scrape it, then install zinc strips along the ridge to keep it from coming back. On replacements we spec algae-resistant shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or Malarkey Roofing on the shaded slopes.
We match the existing shingle line where possible, hand-seal replacements, and check the rest of the slope for lifted tabs. If the damage is widespread, we document it for an insurance claim and tarp until the repair is scheduled.
We clear gutters and downspouts as part of maintenance, check the drip edge, and reseal any open eave joints. If the gutters are undersized for the roof area, we tell you and price a replacement rather than keep clearing them twice a year.
Priced by scope — schedule a consultation for a written estimate.
The spread is wide because pitch, square footage, layers to strip, and material choice all move the number. We quote in writing with line items, so you can see what each part costs. If a repair will buy you five more years, we say so instead of pushing a replacement you do not need yet.
Compare that to patching leaks every spring and the math usually favors doing it once, correctly, with a warranty behind it.
One square is 100 square feet of roof surface. A 1,500 square foot home with a moderate pitch is roughly 18 to 22 squares. Material and labor scale directly with that number, so it is the biggest single driver of the final price.
A 6/12 pitch is walkable with standard safety gear. Above 8/12 we add harness time and slower staging, which raises labor. Two-story homes, tight side yards, and steep driveways add setup time and sometimes require a boom lift.
One layer of old shingles is standard. Some homes also need new sheathing where the deck has rotted, priced per sheet before we install.
Architectural asphalt shingles sit at the low end. Standing-seam metal roofing panels run two to three times that. TPO membrane and EPDM membrane for flat sections price separately. We quote each option so you can compare on the same scope.
Residential roofing in Washington is the full roof assembly on a home: decking, ice and water shield, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and the finished surface of shingles, metal panels, or membrane. It covers new installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance. Because Washington gets 30 to 45 inches of rain a year in many areas plus freeze-thaw cycles, the underlayment and flashing details matter as much as the shingle you see from the street.
Residential roofing pricing depends on square footage, pitch, layers to strip, and material. Architectural asphalt shingles sit at the lower end; standing-seam metal and TPO flat sections push higher. Steep pitches, two-story access, and rotted decking add labor. Schedule a consultation for a written estimate.
For most pitched roofs, algae-resistant architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or Malarkey Roofing are the best value, and they handle moss and streaking better than standard three-tab. For low-slope sections, TPO membrane or EPDM membrane outlasts rolled asphalt. Metal roofing panels make sense where snow sheds fast or where you want a 50-year surface. We match the material to your pitch, shade, and budget.
Check three things: a current Washington State Roofing License, liability and workers' comp coverage, and manufacturer credentials like GAF Master Elite or Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Then ask for a written scope with squares, underlayment type, and flashing details, plus a workmanship warranty in writing. A contractor who cannot show those is a risk on a 20-year investment.
We run crews across the state, from the Puget Sound lowlands to the Yakima Valley and the I-5 corridor. Whether you need a repair, a full replacement, or an emergency tarp, we bring the same written scope and workmanship warranty to every address. Below are a few of the Washington cities where we install and repair residential roofing systems every week.
