In Washington State, covering the Seattle and Renton areas, roofing is influenced by a temperate maritime climate. This means cool, wet winters and mild, dry summers, with consistent rainfall throughout much of the year.
Washington's climate, with its persistent rain and moisture, demands roofing systems designed for water shedding and durability. Our installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your current roof. We then meticulously remove all existing roofing materials down to the roof deck. Any necessary repairs or reinforcements to the deck are addressed before proceeding. We install a robust underlayment for an extra layer of protection, followed by carefully fitted flashing around all roof penetrations such as vents and chimneys. Finally, the new roofing material is installed to provide a long-lasting barrier against the elements. We ensure all work complies with local building codes in Seattle and Renton.
