Short answer
Yes, we work in south King County, mainly Federal Way and Auburn, close to the Pierce County line. King County counted 2,269,675 people in 2020, but our coverage is the southern edge. Many homes there date from the 1980s, so roofs are on their second round, and the 2024 bomb cyclone showed how hard wind hits this area.
The part of King County we cover
King County is large, and we do not pretend to cover all of it. Our work there is in the south end, closest to our Puyallup office: Federal Way and Auburn, and the neighborhoods around them. If you are farther north, call and we will tell you honestly whether the address is in reach.
Auburn straddles King and Pierce counties and had 87,256 residents in 2020. Both sides of the city line are in our area, and the city sets its own building rules regardless of which county the address falls in.
Federal Way and its 1980s housing
Federal Way's biggest building decade was the 1980s, at 24% of homes, and the city is about 55.3% owner-occupied. A house built then has usually already had one replacement roof, and that roof may now be nearing its end. Some of those replacements were laid over the original shingles, which hides the deck and adds weight.
We prefer a full tear-off on these houses so we can check the sheathing, replace soft spots and rebuild flashing at walls and chimneys. Homes from that era also tend to have attic venting that was minimal by today's standards. A reroof is the moment to fix it, as our attic ventilation page explains.
Wind from the November 2024 bomb cyclone
The bomb cyclone of November 19 and 20, 2024 produced 74 mph gusts in Enumclaw and left nearly 600,000 western Washington customers without power. Storms of that size lift shingles, peel ridge vents and drop limbs across south King County.
After a big windstorm, we document damage with photos before any repair, tarp open sections, and then replace what lifted or tore. Our windstorm guide covers what you can safely check from the ground.
