Roof repair
A leak at a Queen Anne dormer or a Ballard Craftsman roof-to-wall joint can travel before appearing indoors. We trace water entry and check the surrounding shingles before recommending a targeted repair.

What Does Your Seattle Home Need?
Roof replacement
Older Wallingford bungalows and West Seattle homes can combine the original roof with later additions. We measure each slope and review decking, flashing and ventilation so the replacement fits the whole house.

Moss & roof cleaning
Green Lake’s shaded bungalows can collect moss where trees keep roof planes damp. We hand scrub, apply spray-on moss treatment and use low-pressure soft washing only where the material allows it—never pressure washing.

Gutters
Wallingford’s narrow side yards and Queen Anne’s sloping lots can complicate drainage from older homes. We check gutter outlets, downspout routes and fascia before discussing cleaning, repairs or seamless replacements.

What this means for your roof
With 52.8% of Seattle housing built before 1980, an inspection should distinguish original construction from later roof layers and additions. Check decking, dormer flashing and drainage rather than assuming the roof is as old as the home.
Home age is based on the median construction year, not the age of the roof. Sources checked October 17, 2026.

Local resources
For a home inside city limits, check the Seattle permit office for the planned roofing work. A Seattle mailing address can also be outside the city; confirm the parcel boundary and use King County permit guidance for an unincorporated property.
We pull the roofing permit when the job requires one.
What Affects the Cost?
Dormers on Queen Anne homes and additions behind Ballard bungalows add details beyond simple roof area. Steep streets and tight side yards can also affect material staging and debris removal. The written scope separates covering, flashing and ventilation and explains how concealed decking damage will be handled. Our Seattle-area roof replacement cost guide explains the main factors without promising a price before we see your roof.

Questions Seattle Homeowners Ask
Does a Seattle reroof always need a permit?
SDCI requirements depend on the residential building and planned scope. Check the city’s reroof guidance before work, particularly when framing or structural decking changes are involved.
Can an older Ballard shake roof take modern shingles?
The supporting deck needs to be checked before selecting a new covering. Where old shakes sit on spaced boards, the replacement plan may include suitable solid decking rather than simply covering the existing layers.
What if wind has damaged my West Seattle roof?
Keep clear of loose materials and photograph visible damage from the ground if safe. Call to discuss emergency-tarping availability; permanent work depends on inspection and safe weather conditions.
Will roof work block a narrow Seattle driveway?
Tell us about shared driveways, alley access and parking restrictions when requesting the inspection. We can discuss a staging plan before scheduling rather than assuming there is room for a delivery truck.
Can you check a low-slope addition in Fremont?
Yes, residential additions can need a different roofing system from the pitched main roof. We assess drainage and roof-to-wall transitions and discuss material options suited to that slope.
