Roof installation in Washington means building a roof that survives wet winters, wind off the coast, and freeze-thaw cycles east of the Cascades. We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, and flat membrane systems on homes and commercial buildings statewide, handling tear-off, decking repair, flashing, and permits. If you need a new roof installation Washington homeowners can count on, we walk the roof, measure it, and give you a straight number before we start.
Roof installation in Washington is the full tear-off and rebuild of your roof system: stripping old shingles or membrane, inspecting and replacing rotten decking, laying ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, then setting underlayment, flashing, and the finished surface. We install asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, and Malarkey Roofing, plus standing-seam metal roofing panels and TPO membrane for low-slope sections. Every job ends with ridge vents set, roofing screws torqued, and the yard swept with a leaf blower and magnet.
Washington roofs take a beating that roofs in dry states never see. West of the mountains you get 35 to 40 inches of rain a year, moss growth in shaded valleys, and clogged gutters that back water under the shingles. East of the Cascades you get hail damage, wind damage, and ice dams at the eaves. That is why we spec different systems by region instead of selling one shingle everywhere. If you are pricing a new roof installation Washington-wide, the material choice matters as much as the labor.
Every installation is a full system, not just shingles. The price covers tear-off, disposal, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, permits, and cleanup. Upgrades like upgraded impact-rated shingles, added attic ventilation, or gutter guards are quoted separately so you can decide.
We strip every layer down to the deck, load it into dumpsters, and haul it off. No dumpster sitting in your driveway for a week, and no nails left in the lawn. Two magnetic sweeps are standard on every job.
Every rafter bay gets checked for rot, delamination, and soft spots. We replace damaged sheathing with matched thickness material and re-nail to current code before any underlayment goes down.
We run ice and water shield at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations, minimum 6 feet up from the eave on west-side homes. This is the layer that stops ice dams and wind-driven rain from reaching your ceiling.
New step flashing, counter-flashing, pipe boots, and ridge vents are included. Proper attic ventilation keeps the deck dry and extends shingle life, so we size intake and exhaust vents to the roof area.
We pull the local re-roof permit, post it on site, and meet the inspector. You get the signed-off permit and manufacturer warranty registration in your email when the job closes.
Ridge caps set, penetrations sealed, gutters cleared of debris, and a walkthrough with you before we leave. We point out what we installed, where the warranty paperwork lives, and how to maintain it.
We walk the roof, check decking from the attic where accessible, and measure every plane, valley, and penetration. You get photos of problem areas, a material recommendation for your region, and a written scope within 24 hours. This visit takes 45 to 90 minutes.
We pull the local roof installation permit, order material, and lock your date. Most Washington jurisdictions issue residential re-roof permits in 3 to 10 business days. You get a start date, a crew lead name, and a number to call if anything changes.
The crew strips the old roof down to the deck, hauls it off in dumpsters, and replaces any rotten sheathing. We use pry bars and shingle cutters to protect the fascia, and we check every rafter bay for soft spots before new material goes down.
Ice and water shield goes at the eaves and valleys, then roofing felt or synthetic underlayment across the field. Shingles or metal panels go on with a roofing nail gun set to the manufacturer's depth, chalk lines keep courses straight, and flashing is custom-bent at every wall and chimney.
We install ridge vents, seal penetrations, and run a water test on problem areas. Then two magnetic sweeps, a leaf blower pass on the driveway and beds, and a walkthrough with you. Your workmanship warranty paperwork is emailed the same week.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Sets shingle nails to the manufacturer's specified depth and angle. We calibrate pressure per material so nails seat flush without cutting into the shingle mat.
OSHA-compliant fall protection on every pitch above 4/12, plus stabilizers that keep ladders off gutters and prevent fascia damage.
Clean cuts at valleys, hips, and rake edges, and controlled tear-off that protects the fascia and drip edge from damage during removal.
Keeps shingle courses straight across long runs and confirms exposure per manufacturer spec, which is what makes the warranty valid.
Final cleanup pass on the roof, driveway, and landscaping, followed by two magnetic sweeps to catch every stray roofing nail.
A 1926 Ballard craftsman with two layers of worn 3-tab shingles, moss across the north slope, and three soft spots in the decking. The homeowner had ceiling stains in two rooms and a leaking chimney flashing.
We stripped both layers, replaced four sheets of sheathing, installed new ice and water shield, and set architectural shingles with zinc strips. The leak stopped immediately, and the attic stayed dry through the next two winters.
A 2004 ranch home with hail-bruised shingles and granule loss across the south and west planes. The insurance adjuster initially approved only a partial repair, which would have left mismatched shingles and a voided warranty.
We documented every impact point with photos, wrote a supplement, and got the claim approved for a full replacement. New Class 4 impact-rated shingles went on in three days, and the homeowner paid only the deductible.
A waterfront home with a failing 20-year-old asphalt roof, rusted flashing, and wind-driven rain leaking around the skylights. The homeowner wanted something that would outlast the next two shingle cycles.
We installed standing-seam metal roofing panels with new Velux skylight flashing and snow guards. The roof now carries a 50-year manufacturer warranty, and the skylight leaks stopped on the first rain test.
Most Washington roof failures start small and stay hidden until the ceiling stains. Here are the ones we see most and how a proper installation ends them.
Ask a pro →We install moss-resistant architectural shingles with zinc strips near the ridge, which release moss-inhibiting ions with every rain. On shaded north slopes we also add copper flashing strips. The result is a roof that stays clean without annual chemical treatments.
We run ice and water shield a minimum of 6 feet up from the eave, seal every penetration, and balance attic ventilation so the roof deck stays cold. That combination stops the melt-refreeze cycle that causes ice dams.
We custom-bend new step flashing and counter-flashing at every wall, chimney, and skylight, then seal with polyurethane caulk rated for freeze-thaw. No reused flashing, no shortcut tar patches.
We install Class 4 impact-rated shingles on hail-prone roofs and re-nail to current wind-uplift code. We also document damage with photos for your insurance claim before any material is removed.
Priced by scope — schedule a consultation for a written estimate.
Asphalt shingles sit at the low end, standing-seam metal at the high end, and flat membrane systems fall in between. The number moves with roof size, pitch, how many layers come off, decking condition, and whether you need new flashing or ventilation. We give you a line-item estimate, not a lump sum, so you can see where every dollar goes.
A roof is the one system that protects everything else in your house.
A 1,500 sq ft ranch at 4/12 pitch is a very different job than a 3,000 sq ft two-story at 10/12. Steep pitches need more safety rigging and slower production, which adds 15 to 30 percent to labor.
One layer of shingles is standard. Three or more layers may require a full tear-off down to the deck with new sheathing.
We photograph every bad panel and get your approval before replacing, so there are no surprise line items.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the value pick. Class 4 impact-rated shingles add 10 to 20 percent. Standing-seam metal runs two to three times the cost of asphalt but lasts 40 to 70 years with almost no maintenance.
Most single-family homes are torn off and dried in within one day, with final ridge caps and cleanup on day two. Larger homes, steep pitches, or full decking replacement can run three to five days. Weather is the main variable: we do not tear off if rain is forecast within 12 hours, because leaving a Washington home open overnight is how you get ceiling damage.
A full tear-off and replacement in Washington varies by square footage, pitch, layers to remove, decking condition, and material. Asphalt shingles land at the lower end, standing-seam metal at the higher end. Schedule a consultation for a written estimate based on your roof.
Yes, most Washington cities require a roofing permit, with fees varying by city and scope. Some rural counties waive it for like-for-like shingle replacement. Your contractor should pull the permit and schedule the final inspection - never leave that to the homeowner.
For most Puget Sound and coastal homes, architectural asphalt shingles with moss-resistant granules and zinc strips are the best value. East of the Cascades, Class 4 impact-rated shingles handle hail better. Standing-seam metal roofing panels last 40 to 70 years and shed moss and snow, which suits mountain towns and rural properties. Flat and low-slope sections get TPO membrane or EPDM membrane.
Our crews cover the whole state, from the Puget Sound to the Columbia Basin. Whether you need a new roof installation Washington-wide or a single tear-off in a small town, we bring the same materials, permits, and warranty. Here are some of the communities we work in most.
