Roof Replacement in Seattle

Roof Replacement and Repair in Seattle

Be Home Remodeling replaces and repairs roofs across Seattle and King County: asphalt shingle roofs, and flat and low-slope roofs on additions, porches and mid-century homes. We start with an honest inspection. Plenty of roofs need a repair, not a new roof, and we tell you which one yours needs.

If you are looking for roofers near you in the Seattle area, start with a free roof inspection and a written estimate.

Rain and Moss: What Wears Out a Seattle Roof

Here, roofs rarely fail from sun. They fail from water: moss that lifts shingles and holds moisture against them, flashing that has pulled loose around chimneys and skylights, and gutters that overflow onto the fascia. A new roof starts with new underlayment, flashing and ventilation, so the attic stays dry and the shingles last.

How Much Roofing Costs in Seattle

  • Roof repairs: starting at $300.
  • Asphalt shingle roofs: starting at $7 per square foot.
  • Flat and low-slope roofs: starting at $7 per square foot.

A project manager prices your roof at a free inspection, and you get a written, itemized estimate. Ask about $0 down financing options. Availability, terms and approval depend on the lender.

Do You Need a Permit for a New Roof in Seattle?

On a detached one- or two-family house in Seattle, repairing the roof or replacing the existing roof sheathing does not need a building permit, as long as the building envelope does not change and the new work is at least as good as what was there. Structural changes need a permit, and the exemptions may not apply in an environmentally critical area. Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, Renton and the other cities around Seattle have their own rules, so we confirm yours before work starts and file the permit when one is needed.

Roof Repair or Replacement?

A leak in one area, a few damaged shingles or flashing that has pulled loose can usually be repaired. Curling or missing shingles across the roof, soft spots in the deck or granules piling up in the gutters point to a replacement. We send you photos of what we find up there.

Roofing Questions

Can you replace only part of my roof?

Often, yes. A damaged section or a single slope can be repaired or replaced on its own. If most of the roof is worn out, a full replacement costs less over time.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most homes take one to two days once the materials are on site and any permit is ready. Larger or steeper roofs take longer, and we plan around the weather. You get the schedule before work starts.

Can a roof be replaced in the rainy season?

Yes, with planning. Tear-offs are scheduled for dry days, and only as much of the roof is opened as can be covered again the same day.

Request Service

Shingle, Flat and Low-Slope Roofs

Asphalt shingles are the most common choice for a sloped roof. Low-slope and flat roofs, common on additions, carports and mid-century homes, get a membrane system made for that pitch. We match the system to the roof instead of forcing one product on every house.

Roofs, Siding and Covered Patios

A new roof is a good time to look at the rest of the exterior. See our siding page, and our backyard page for covered patios that keep the yard usable in the rain.
