What a Full Roof Replacement Includes
A new roof installation isn't just shingles on top of shingles. We do the job properly from the start.
1. Full Tear-Off
We remove your existing roofing materials down to the deck so we can inspect the structure beneath. If there's hidden rot, damaged sheathing, or ventilation problems, we find them now — not after your new roof is already on.
2. Deck Inspection and Repair
Before anything goes back on, we assess the roof deck and make any necessary repairs. A new roof is only as good as what's underneath it.
3. Underlayment and Ice-and-Water Barrier
We install a quality underlayment across the full deck, with ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys, and any penetration points. In the Pacific Northwest, this layer matters.
4. Shingle Installation
We install architectural shingles as our standard — dimensional, durable, and significantly better-looking than the three-tab shingles found on older homes. If you're interested in premium or designer shingle options, we're a certified installer and can walk you through what's available.
5. Flashing, Ridge Cap, and Cleanup
Proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is where a lot of roofs fail. We take it seriously. We finish with ridge cap and a full site cleanup — your yard shouldn't look like a job site when we leave.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost Near Seattle?
This is the first question most homeowners ask, and it's a fair one. The honest answer: it depends on your roof.
New roof installation cost in the Seattle–Tacoma area typically varies based on:
- Roof size and pitch (steeper roofs take more time and safety equipment)
- Current condition of the deck (repairs add cost if damage is found during tear-off)
- Shingle grade selected (standard architectural vs. premium or designer lines)
- Number of penetrations — chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys all require flashing work
- Accessibility and job complexity
For most standard residential roofs in south King County, new roof installation cost in Kent, SeaTac, and surrounding areas falls within a range we're happy to walk you through in a free, no-pressure estimate. We don't believe in quoting numbers before we've seen your roof — but we also don't drag out the process. We come out, take a look (we can use our drone for aerial inspection if needed), and give you a clear, written quote.

Architectural Shingles vs. Premium Options — What's Right for Your Home?
Our standard installation uses architectural (dimensional) shingles, which offer a major upgrade in durability and appearance over older three-tab products. They carry strong manufacturer warranties and hold up well in the Pacific Northwest climate.
If you want something more distinctive — or if you're replacing a roof on a higher-end home and want the curb appeal to match — we're a certified installer of a premium designer shingle line. These products mimic the look of slate, wood shake, or premium tile at a fraction of the weight and maintenance cost. We can show you samples and help you compare options during your estimate visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Roof Installation
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential tear-off and re-roof projects are completed in one to two days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.Do I need to be home during the installation?
You don't need to be home for the work itself, but we do ask that someone is reachable by phone in case we find anything unexpected during tear-off. We'll walk you through everything before we start and again when we're done.What's the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement?
A repair addresses a specific problem — a damaged section, a flashing failure, a few missing shingles. A replacement makes sense when the roof is aging across the board, when repairs are becoming frequent, or when an inspection reveals widespread wear. We'll give you an honest assessment and won't push a full replacement if a repair is the right call. You can also read more about our roof repair service.
How long will my new roof last?
Architectural shingles typically carry 25–30 year manufacturer warranties, and many last longer with proper attic ventilation and routine maintenance. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the installation itself — if something goes wrong on our end, we come back and make it right.Do you offer financing for new roof installation?
