Roof Replacement in Lynnwood WA - A Dry Home Before the Next Storm

Our roofs work hard. Rain falls for months, moss grows on anything shady, and wind storms rip at the edges. After enough years, even a good roof gives out. Roof leaks are rarely where you see the stain. Water runs along the wood and shows up feet from the real hole.

Start with what you can see from the yard. Shingles that curl, crack, or go missing are a red flag. Dark streaks and thick moss mean water is sitting on the roof instead of running off. Moss can lift shingles and let water creep underneath. If you look in your gutters and see lots of tiny gravel-like bits, those are granules from the shingles. When they wash off, the shingles lose their protection.

Then check inside. Brown stains on the ceiling are a clear sign. So is peeling paint near the top of a wall. In the attic, look for daylight coming through the boards, damp insulation, or a musty smell. In our climate, a slow leak turns into mold and rot fast. The wood under the shingles, called the decking, can go soft before you ever see a drip.

Age matters too. Many older Lynnwood and Edmonds homes are on a second or third roof. If yours is near the end of its life, a patch only buys a little time. Fall and winter rain tends to expose weak spots, so a roof that held up in summer can fail in the first big storm.

If a tree has come down on your roof or you see an electrical hazard, call 911 first. Once everyone is safe, call us during our open hours and we will get back to you fast.

We begin with a free estimate. We walk the roof, check the attic, and look at the gutters and the wood under the edges. We tell you what we find, with no scare tactics. If a repair will do, we say so. If you need a new roof, we show you why.

You then get an itemized quote in writing. It lists the materials and the work, so you can see where the money goes. We talk through your choices, like shingle type and color, until you are happy.

Next is the permit. Re-roofing can need one depending on the job and where you live, and rules differ between Snohomish and King County and between cities. We handle the permit in-house, so you do not stand in line at city hall.

Weather decides the schedule. We pick a stretch of dry days when we can and watch the forecast. The goal is to never leave your home open to rain. We cover and protect what we have to, like plants, siding, and anything around the house.

The tear off comes first. We remove the old shingles and the old underlayment, which is the water barrier under them. Then we look closely at the decking. Soft or rotted boards get replaced, and we show you what we found. This is where PNW moisture damage often turns up.

The new roof goes on in layers. We lay a fresh underlayment, then flashing, which is the metal that seals around chimneys, vents, skylights, and where roof planes meet. Most leaks start at flashing, so we take our time there. Then the shingles go on, and we add the ridge cap along the peak. We also check the vents so your attic can breathe and dry out. A damp attic grows mold, and mold shortens the life of a new roof.

When we finish, we clean up. We collect the debris, haul it off, and sweep the yard for stray nails. Then we walk around with you. If something is not right, we make it right.

A roof is one of the biggest costs of owning a home, so we keep the numbers clear. You get a free estimate, no trip fee, and an itemized quote in writing. No hidden fees show up later.

Size is the first factor. A bigger roof needs more material and more time. Steepness matters too. A steep roof is harder and slower to work on safely. A roof with many valleys, dormers, or little sections takes more cutting and sealing than a simple one.

The materials you pick change the price as well. Shingles come in different grades and styles. Next is what is already up there. If there are two layers of old roofing, it takes more work to tear off. Rotted decking has to be replaced, and we cannot know how much until the old roof comes off. If we find more, we call you before we do any extra work.

Chimneys, skylights, and extra vents add detail work. Tight access, like trees close to the house, can add time. Hauling away the old roofing adds to the job, and a bigger tear off means more to carry out.
