Roofing in Kirkland, WA

Roof replacement, repair, inspection and moss removal for Kirkland homes — with 14+ years of experience on Washington roofs behind every job.

Kirkland runs from the Lake Washington shoreline up through established residential neighborhoods and into newer development on the east side of the city. The mix spans older lakefront homes, mid-century neighborhoods, and dense recent construction.

The waterfront side and the hillside neighborhoods have noticeably different exposure, and a roof on one is not on the same maintenance schedule as a roof on the other.

What Kirkland roofs deal with

  • Wind off Lake Washington

    Homes with open exposure to the lake take more wind than their neighbors a few blocks up. Wind damage on asphalt shingles almost always starts at an edge or a ridge, not in the middle of a slope.

  • Sloped lots and drainage

    A lot of Kirkland sits on grade. Where a house is built into a slope, what the gutters and downspouts do with the water matters more than usual — the roof drainage and the foundation drainage are the same problem.

  • Mixed-age neighborhoods

    Streets with a 1960s house next to a 2015 rebuild are common here. It means no assumption carries across a block, and every roof needs to be assessed on its own.

What we do in Kirkland

  • Roof Replacement

    A complete new roof when repairs stop being worth it — tear-off, deck inspection, and installation done to manufacturer spec.

    Leaks, wind damage, failed flashing, and missing shingles — fixed properly, so the same spot does not come back next winter.

  • Roof Inspection

    A documented look at the real condition of your roof — for maintenance, a home sale, an insurance claim, or your own peace of mind.

  • Roof Cleaning

    Moss, algae, and organic buildup removed without destroying the shingle — the single highest-value maintenance job in this climate.

  • Gutter Cleaning

    Gutters and downspouts cleared so water leaves the roof and the foundation the way it was designed to.

  • Gutter Replacement

    New gutters and downspouts, sized and pitched so the system actually moves the water your roof sheds.
