When repairs stop making financial sense, it's time for a new roof. We handle the full job: tear-off, deck inspection and repair, underlayment, new shingles, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup. Most residential replacements take 2 to 4 days depending on the size and complexity. We pull the permits, coordinate with your schedule, and don't leave until the site is clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in the Seattle area?
Most single-family roof replacements in the Puget Sound run $12,000 to $28,000. A simple ranch with architectural shingles sits near the low end. A two-story with steep pitches, cedar shake tear-off, or designer shingles can push past $30,000. We'll measure your roof and give you a firm written number, not a range pulled from thin air.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are done in 2 to 4 days. A smaller roof in good weather can wrap in a single day. Bigger homes, cedar shake tear-offs, or decking repair can stretch it to a week. We plan the job around the forecast so we're not tearing off shingles right before a Seattle downpour.
Will you tear off the old roof or go over it?
We always tear off. Layering new shingles over old ones traps moisture, hides deck rot, and voids most manufacturer warranties. Tear-off costs a bit more up front but gets you a roof that actually lasts 30 years instead of 15.
What shingle brands do you install?
We mainly install GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. All three hold up well in PNW weather and come with 30 to 50 year manufacturer warranties. We'll walk you through color and line options and recommend what fits your house style and budget.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Most cities in King and Pierce County require a permit for full replacements, especially if you're touching the deck. Seattle and Bellevue both do. We pull the permit as part of the job so you don't have to deal with the city yourself.
What happens if you find rotted decking during tear-off?
It happens more often than people think, especially on older homes with missed leaks. We show you the rot before we cover it up, tell you how much decking needs replacing, and give you the price up front. Most jobs only need a sheet or two of plywood, and we quote that line item separately so there are no surprises.
