Roof Repair
Wind-lifted shingles, split vent boots, nail pops and worn ridge caps start most leaks on Tacoma houses.
DetailsThirty-nine kinds of work, from a single lifted shingle to a full tear-off, new gutters or a rebuilt deck. Start with the problem you can see.

Short answer
Tacoma roofing and exterior work on this page splits into six groups: repairs and emergencies, roof replacement, flat and commercial roofs, roof care and attics, gutters, and siding and exterior. Each of the 39 pages explains how that job runs here, what changes the price and what to check before you call.

Leaks, storm damage, flashing and the calls that cannot wait for dry weather.
Wind-lifted shingles, split vent boots, nail pops and worn ridge caps start most leaks on Tacoma houses.
DetailsA ceiling stain marks where water landed, not where it entered. We follow the trail back to the valley, wall or vent that let it in.
DetailsRoof emergencies ignore business hours. The phone is answered all night, and we help you limit the damage inside, then plan the temporary cover and the permanent repair.
DetailsWindstorms lift shingles, drop limbs and peel flashing. We repair the damage and record what we find, so you have clear evidence when you file your own claim.
DetailsA loose tarp flaps, tears shingles and funnels water inside. Ours run over the ridge, get battened to the deck and stay sealed until the permanent repair.
DetailsFlashing is the sheet metal that turns water back onto the roof where a slope meets a wall or an edge.
DetailsA chimney is rigid masonry in a roof that moves, and the joint between them is where water gets in.

Tear-offs, new roofs and the materials that hold up to a Puget Sound winter.
A replacement is more than new shingles. It means stripping the old roof, fixing the deck, new underlayment and flashing, and settling whether a permit or design review applies.
DetailsAsphalt shingles suit most Tacoma houses: they are light, simple to repair and come in lines built for wind and damp.
DetailsMetal sheds rain fast, resists moss better than most roofs and weighs less than shingles.
DetailsA cedar roof can look good for years, then decline fast once moss and rot take hold.
DetailsThe deck is the plywood, OSB or boards the whole roof is nailed to.
DetailsNew framing gives a roof a clean start: flat sheathing, planned ventilation and flashing built in from the beginning.
DetailsMost skylight leaks start at the flashing, not the glass. We set new units with kit flashing and replace crazed plastic domes.
DetailsSolar arrays tend to outlast the shingles under them. When the roof is due first, the panels come off, wait somewhere safe and go back on new, flashed mounts.

Low-slope membranes for garages, additions, apartments and business roofs.
Low-slope roofs leak at seams, drains and edges long before the field wears out.
DetailsTPO is a heat-welded single-ply membrane for roofs too flat for shingles.
DetailsTorch-down is modified bitumen fused in layers with heat. Laid as two plies over a sound deck, it takes foot traffic and ponding better than most single-ply sheets.
DetailsA coating adds a continuous waterproof skin over a roof that is still sound.
DetailsBusiness roofs leak at rooftop units, curbs and drains while tenants are open.
DetailsMultifamily roofs are as much a planning job as a roofing job.

Moss, inspections, upkeep and the attic that decides how long a roof lasts.
Moss holds water against shingles and lifts their edges. We scrape it off by hand and treat the roots, without forcing water under the courses.
DetailsAn inspection tells you what condition the roof is in and what it needs next.
DetailsMaintenance is work done on the roof, not just a look at it.
DetailsA healthy attic pulls air in at the eaves and lets it out at the ridge.
DetailsInsulation only works if air is not leaking past it and the eaves stay open.

Moving 40 inches of rain a year off the roof and away from the house.
We measure the roof area that drains to each eave, then hang seamless aluminum gutters, half-round or copper sized to carry it without spilling over the front.
DetailsMost gutters we are called to are not worn out. A hanger let go, a corner seal cracked or the run lost its slope, and the fix can be targeted.
DetailsFir and pine needles slip through screens that stop maple leaves. We fit stainless micro-mesh guards sized to your gutter and tell you plainly what upkeep remains.
DetailsWe clean gutters by hand, flush every downspout and clear the roof valleys that feed them, then tell you what we noticed along the way.
DetailsA gutter only collects water. Where the downspout puts it decides whether your crawlspace stays dry, so that is the part we plan carefully.

Siding, rot repair, decks, patio covers and windows for wet-climate homes.
New siding is only as good as the layers behind it. We strip the old cladding, fix the sheathing, wrap and flash the wall, then hang the siding you choose.
DetailsMost siding problems are a few bad boards, not a whole wall.
DetailsDry rot is wood decay that has had time to spread. We remove the decayed wood, rebuild the structure, and track down the water that started it.
DetailsThe eave is where gutters hang, the attic breathes and animals look for a way in.
DetailsA deck in this climate lives or dies at the ledger and the joists.
DetailsDecks fail from the bottom up and from the house out. We check the ledger, joists and posts first, then the boards and rails you actually see.
DetailsA patio cover makes the back of the house usable in the wet months.
DetailsA new window is only as dry as the wall around it.
DetailsOne house, one visit
Water does not respect trade lines. A gutter that spills in a November downpour soaks the fascia, the fascia rots, and the next storm drives water behind the siding at the corner. Fixing only the piece that is visible means paying for the same leak twice.
That is why the same people handle roofs, gutters, siding, decks and windows here. When we are on a roof for a leak, we look at the edge and the wall below it. When we replace siding, we check the flashing above every window before the new boards go on. You get one plan for the whole path the water takes, and you decide which parts to do now and which can wait.
If you are weighing a bigger project, the roof guides cover costs, permits, moss and material choices for Tacoma homes in more depth.

Either is fine. Call any hour and describe it, and we will point you to the right fix.
Calls are answered around the clock. Tell us what you are seeing and where the house is, and we will set up a visit.
