Seattle Roofing Contractor

GripGo Roofing works on Seattle homes every week — steep Queen Anne and Magnolia roofs, low-slope additions in Ballard and Fremont, and tree-shaded bungalows across Green Lake, Wallingford and Beacon Hill. Every job starts with an on-roof inspection and photos of what we actually find, not a number guessed from the driveway.

A large share of Seattle's housing stock predates modern roofing codes, so we see original 3-tab shingles, old wood shake over skip sheathing, and layered re-roofs that need a full tear-off and re-deck. Dense tree canopy keeps north-facing planes damp for months, which is where moss lifts shingle edges first.

Full tear-offs and replacements inside Seattle city limits generally require a permit through Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections. We check your address and scope during the inspection and pull the permit when the job needs one. Seattle SDCI permits.

Seattle FAQs

Questions Seattle homeowners ask

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Seattle?+

Most full tear-offs and replacements inside Seattle city limits require a permit through Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections; small in-kind repairs usually do not. We confirm the requirement for your specific address and scope during the free inspection and handle the filing.

Can you re-roof an older Ballard or West Seattle home with wood shake?+

Yes. We tear the shake down to the skip sheathing, re-deck with plywood or OSB where the framing allows it, and install a modern asphalt, synthetic or metal system in its place. The re-deck scope is priced from what we see on the roof, not assumed up front.

How quickly can you get to a leak in Seattle?+

For an active leak inside Seattle we usually get out within 24 to 48 hours to tarp, dry the area in and inspect. The permanent repair is scheduled once the roof is dry enough to work on safely.
