Roofing in Lakewood, WA

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

Lakewood is largely postwar. Much of its housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s, a good deal of it single-story on wide lots with mature trees that are now well past full growth.

It is a city of older, simpler roofs under a lot of canopy — which is a specific combination with specific problems.

What Lakewood roofs deal with

  • Low-pitch postwar roofs

    The shallow pitches typical of 1950s and 1960s construction shed water slowly and hold debris. They are less tolerant of a marginal flashing detail than a steeper roof would be.

  • Full-grown canopy

    Trees planted when these neighborhoods were built are now mature and overhang a lot of roofs directly. Continuous debris, deep shade, and limbs resting on shingles are routine here.

  • Aging gutter systems

    Original gutter on a house this age has usually been through several cleanings and at least one storm too many. Sagging runs and separated seams are common, and both put water against the fascia.

What we do in Lakewood

  • Roof Replacement

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

  • Roof Repair

    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.
