Roofing & Gutters in Des Moines, WA

Roof repair

A North Central home with water near an upstairs window may need roof-to-wall flashing checked as carefully as its shingles.

On a Marina District slope, leaks that arrive with wind can point toward a weather-facing edge, but the ceiling stain alone cannot identify the opening.

We relate the indoor signs to exterior details and show what we find.

A repair recommendation depends on the surrounding covering’s condition and the extent of damage, not the neighborhood’s proximity to the Sound.

Roof replacement

For an older Pacific Ridge house, roof replacement can involve an original structure plus later living-space additions.

Those sections may have different slopes or deck arrangements.

We review the removal scope, ventilation and connections before comparing appropriate materials.

A recent home can still have aging flashings, and an older home may already carry a newer roof.

Written choices should address the roof that is present today, with hidden wood repairs documented rather than assumed to be identical across nearby properties.

Moss & roof cleaning

Trees in Des Moines yards can shade roof planes even when neighboring Sound-facing lots are open to sun.

Wet leaves collecting above a valley or around a chimney encourage persistent dampness during the rainy months.

Moss removal begins with a check that the covering can tolerate maintenance.

We hand scrub and apply spray-on moss treatment, using low-pressure soft washing only where the material permits.

We never pressure wash a roof or represent cleaning as a substitute for repairing an active leak.

Seamless gutters

A long eave over a Des Moines deck may collect runoff from several upper planes.

Before choosing replacement gutters, we check outlet locations, fascia and the intended downspout discharge.

Seamless aluminum K-style options include 5-inch and 6-inch sizes, with six colors and no color upcharge.

More capacity does not cure a plugged discharge line.

When a reroof is also planned, the proposal can coordinate roof-edge and gutter work while making clear which parts belong to each scope.

Gutter cleaning

Pacific Ridge leaves and small landscaped-yard debris can accumulate unevenly, leaving one outlet blocked while another drains normally.

Note whether overflow occurs over a walkway, at a corner or behind the gutter.

Cleaning should examine the channel and downspout restriction rather than only remove visible leaves.

If a run has pulled away or water remains because its pitch is wrong, maintenance alone may not solve it.

Gutter guards are considered after the existing drainage and attachments have been assessed.
