Roofing in Ballard

A new roof in Ballard typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for an average home, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Architectural shingles run $350-$500 per square (100 sq ft), while premium materials like metal or tile cost more. We provide free detailed estimates for Ballard homeowners.

Most roof replacements in Ballard take 1-3 days for standard homes. Larger homes or complex roof designs may take 4-5 days. Weather can affect timing, but our crews work efficiently while maintaining quality. We schedule around forecasted rain to ensure your home stays protected.

For Ballard homes, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles (30-50 year warranty), metal roofing (50+ years, excellent for rain), or composite shingles. All materials we install are rated for Pacific Northwest weather including heavy rain, moss resistance, and wind protection.

Signs you need a new roof include: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; granules in gutters; daylight visible through roof boards; roof age over 20-25 years; or water stains on ceilings. We offer free roof inspections to assess your roof's condition honestly.

Yes! We offer $0 down financing options for qualified Ballard homeowners. This makes roof replacement affordable with manageable monthly payments. We also accept all major credit cards and work with insurance claims for storm damage repairs.

Yes, most roofing projects in Ballard require a permit, especially for full replacements or structural repairs. As your local roofing contractor, we handle all the permitting paperwork and inspections with the city or county building department, so you don't have to worry about the red tape.

Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies for storm, wind, and fallen tree damage claims in Ballard. We can document the damage, meet with your adjuster, and provide the detailed estimates needed to ensure your claim covers all necessary repairs.

We provide industry-leading protection. You get a manufacturer's material warranty (typically 50 years to Lifetime for architectural shingles) and our own workmanship warranty. We stand behind every roof we install in Ballard to give you complete peace of mind.

Moss is a major issue in our damp climate. We use algae-resistant shingles (like GAF StainGuard Plus™) that prevent growth. For existing roofs, we offer gentle moss removal and treatment services. We can also install zinc or copper strips near the ridge to prevent future moss growth.

Yes, a roof replacement is the perfect time to add or replace skylights! We install high-quality, leak-free Velux skylights and sun tunnels to bring more natural light into your Ballard home. We ensure proper flashing to guarantee they remain watertight.

Yes, we offer full gutter replacement services. We install seamless aluminum gutters (5k or 6k style) that are custom-made on-site to fit your home perfectly. We also offer gutter guards to keep pine needles and leaves out, which is essential for many Ballard properties.

Living in the PNW, we are experts at dodging rain. We constantly monitor the forecast. If rain is expected, we only tear off sections we can replace that day. We always have heavy-duty tarps on standby to protect your exposed roof and home from sudden showers.

We take pride in leaving your property cleaner than we found it. We use catch-all tarps around your home to protect landscaping, run a magnetic sweeper to catch stray nails, and haul away all old roofing debris. You won't have to worry about a mess left behind.

Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the State of Washington. We carry General Liability insurance and Worker's Compensation to protect both you and our crew. We are happy to provide proof of insurance before we start any project in Ballard.

Proper ventilation is critical, especially here. It prevents heat buildup in summer (cooking your shingles) and moisture buildup in winter (causing mold and rot). We calculate the exact intake and exhaust needed for your home to ensure your roof lasts its full lifespan.

Yes, you can absolutely stay home. Be aware that it will be noisy during the work hours (usually 8am-5pm). We work efficiently to minimize disruption, and we always ensure you have safe access entering and exiting your home throughout the project.

Yes! We offer "Cool Roof" rated shingles that reflect solar heat, which can lower your cooling bills. We also install metal roofing, which is highly durable and often made from recycled materials. Plus, we recycle your old asphalt shingles whenever possible to reduce landfill waste.

Architectural (or dimensional) shingles are thicker, more durable, and have a multi-dimensional look that adds curb appeal. They typically have a higher wind rating and longer warranty than older, flat 3-tab shingles. We almost exclusively install architectural shingles for Ballard homes due to their superior performance.

We recommend a professional roof inspection every 3-5 years, or after any major wind storm. Regular inspections can catch loose shingles, failing flashing, or early moss growth before they turn into expensive leaks. We offer free inspections for homeowners in Ballard.

Yes, we are proud to support our community. We offer special discounts for seniors and military personnel (active duty and veterans) in Ballard. Please ask your project manager about these savings during your free estimate consultation.
