Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation

What This Service Involves

A properly built asphalt shingle roof remains the most cost-effective choice for the majority of Western Washington homes, and getting the full system right matters far more here than the shingle color. Our crews start with a solid deck, add ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, and lay a synthetic underlayment that stands up to horizontal rain blowing off the Sound. We integrate ridge-and-soffit ventilation to move the damp interior air that plagues homes from Tacoma to Everett, which is the single biggest factor in how long your shingles actually last. Every installation is finished with zinc or copper strips near the ridge to slow the moss and algae growth that thrives in our marine climate.

Benefits

Full weatherproofing system designed for wind-driven Pacific rain; Balanced attic ventilation that fights condensation and premature aging; Moss-inhibiting metal strips built in from day one; Manufacturer-backed workmanship warranties valid across Washington; Clean-up with magnetic nail sweep of your yard and driveway

Our Process

1) On-site inspection of your deck, ventilation, and existing layers; 2) Tear-off down to sheathing and replacement of any rotted plywood; 3) Install ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, and flashing; 4) Lay shingles, cap the ridge with ventilation, and complete a magnetic-sweep cleanup

What Affects the Cost

Total roof square footage and number of stories; Roof pitch and complexity with valleys, dormers, and skylights; Extent of deck rot repair discovered after tear-off; Shingle line chosen, from 3-tab to designer profiles; Number of existing layers requiring removal and disposal

Best Time of Year

Late spring through early fall offers the reliable dry windows Western Washington installers need, though we schedule year-round and tarp actively during our long rainy season.
