Satisfaction
Replacing your roof is a major investment in your home's future value and protection. At The Seattle Roofing Company, we don't just swap shingles; we engineer a complete roofing system designed to withstand the Pacific Northwest's specific challenges—heavy rain, windstorms, and moss growth. Our Master Elite certified installers ensure every component works together for maximum durability.
Comprehensive 50-Point Digital Inspection
We start with a forensic analysis of your current roof structure. Beyond surface wear, we inspect attic ventilation, intake/exhaust balance, plywood decking condition, and flashing integrity. We use drone technology to access hard-to-reach areas, identifying issues like dry rot or mold that must be addressed before new materials are installed.
Complete Tear-Off and Deck Restoration
We never layer new shingles over old ones. We perform a complete tear-off to the bare wood deck. This critical step allows us to replace rotted plywood, re-nail loose decking to current code, and ensure a smooth, solid foundation. A clean surface is essential for the proper adhesion of ice and water shields.
Installing the GAF Lifetime Roofing System
As GAF Master Elite contractors, we install a cohesive system, not mismatched parts. This includes a leak barrier in valleys and eaves, high-performance Tiger Paw underlayment, Pro-Start starter strips for wind resistance, and Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. We finish with Cobra ridge vents for optimal airflow and hip & ridge cap shingles for a polished look.
Ventilation and Waterproofing Upgrades
A roof needs to breathe. We calculate the precise Net Free Area (NFA) needed for your attic and upgrade your ventilation with ridge vents or active solar fans. We also replace all pipe boots with lead or premium neoprene and install new metal step flashing and counter flashing at walls and chimneys, ensuring your roof is watertight at its most vulnerable points.
Your new roof is an integrated shield against the elements. We back our craftsmanship with a Golden Pledge Warranty—covering materials for 50 years and workmanship for up to 25 years—giving you unparalleled peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.
What materials do you recommend?
We primarily use GAF Timberline HDZ and IKO Dynasty shingles, both rated for the Pacific Northwest climate. These architectural shingles offer superior wind resistance and algae protection.
Do you handle permits?
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and inspections as part of our service. You don't need to worry about the paperwork or scheduling city inspections.
Do I need to be home during the replacement?
No, you do not need to be home, but we recommend being available by phone for any questions. We will need access to power outlets and your driveway.
Will you protect my landscaping?
Absolutely. We use catch-all tarps and plywood to protect your plants, decks, and driveway. We also treat your property with the utmost respect.
What happens if it rains during installation?
We constantly monitor the weather. If rain is forecast, we only tear off what we can replace in a day and always have heavy-duty tarps on standby to protect your home.
Is the old roof removed?
Yes, we perform a complete tear-off of the old roofing material down to the deck. This allows us to inspect the wood decking for rot and ensure a solid foundation for the new roof.
Do you replace the plywood decking?
We inspect all decking after tear-off. If we find rotten or damaged plywood, we will replace it (typically at a per-sheet cost discussed in your estimate) to ensure structural integrity.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We offer a 50-year to Lifetime material warranty from the manufacturer and our own 10-year workmanship warranty. We also offer extended warranties through our Directorii Elite certification.
Do you install new flashing?
Yes, we replace all step flashing, counter flashing, and drip edge with new, corrosion-resistant metal to ensure watertight seals at all critical junctions.
Will you clean up the nails?
We run high-powered magnetic sweepers over your yard, driveway, and walkways multiple times daily to catch stray nails and ensure safety for your family and pets.
Can you improve my attic ventilation?
Yes! A replacement is the perfect time to upgrade ventilation. We calculate your home's specific needs and install ridge vents, soffit vents, or active fans to maximize airflow.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options, including 0% interest for 12 months and low monthly payment plans, to make your new roof affordable.
Will a new roof lower my insurance?
Often, yes. Installing a new, impact-rated roof can qualify you for discounts on your homeowner's insurance premium. Check with your agent.
How do I choose the right color?
We provide full-size samples and digital visualization tools so you can see exactly how different shingle colors will look on your home before making a decision.
What is an ice and water shield?
It is a waterproof membrane we install at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. It seals around nails and prevents leaks from ice dams and wind-driven rain.
