Roofing in Lakewood - A Local's Guide
Lakewood, a city celebrated for its numerous lakes, expansive parks, and vibrant residential communities, serves as a key area for Joint Base Lewis-McChord personnel. The city's lush landscape, abundant with mature Garry Oaks and fir trees, while beautiful, creates specific challenges for roofing systems. The consistent accumulation of leaves, pine needles, and organic debris can clog gutters, trap moisture on roof surfaces, and accelerate moss growth, leading to premature roof degradation. Our tailored roofing solutions for Lakewood homes emphasize proactive debris management. We highly recommend installing high-quality gutter guards to keep drainage systems clear and implementing regular professional roof cleaning services to prevent moss and organic buildup, ensuring your roof remains healthy, functional, and extends its lifespan effectively.
Roofing Challenges in Lakewood
The Pacific Northwest climate presents unique roofing challenges that require specialized knowledge and materials.
Heavy Rainfall
With 37+ inches of annual rainfall, proper drainage and waterproofing are essential. We install high-quality underlayment and ensure proper flashing to prevent water intrusion.
Moss & Algae Growth
Our damp climate promotes moss and algae growth that can damage shingles. We offer zinc strip installation and moss treatment services to protect your roof.
Wind Damage
Pacific storms bring strong winds that can lift shingles and damage flashing. We use wind-rated materials and proper installation techniques.
Temperature Fluctuations
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause shingles to crack and curl. We recommend materials rated for our climate and ensure proper ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Lakewood
Get answers to common roofing questions from Lakewood homeowners
A new roof in Lakewood 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 Lakewood homeowners.
Most roof replacements in Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood. 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood.
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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood.
Yes, we are proud to support our community. We offer special discounts for seniors and military personnel (active duty and veterans) in Lakewood. Please ask your project manager about these savings during your free estimate consultation.
