What We Find Under Everett Roofs
The older homes north of downtown often carry two or even three layers of shingles over skip sheathing, with plank decking gone soft around chimneys and valleys. The mid-century neighborhoods have their own signature problem: low-slope sections over additions and carports where three-tab shingles were installed on pitches they were never rated for. And nearly every roof we open near the bay shows some wind damage on the southwest exposure, where gusts coming across the water lift tabs a few at a time until a winter storm finishes the job.
Our standard replacement addresses all of it in one pass.
- Complete tear-off to the deck with plywood replacement priced transparently per sheet, never buried in a vague allowance
- Ice and water membrane in valleys, at eaves and around penetrations, the zones that fail first in wind-driven rain
- Architectural shingles with high wind ratings, hand-sealed at rakes and eaves on exposed bayside slopes
- New flashing at every chimney, wall and skylight, because reusing old flashing is how leaks outlive new shingles
Why Homeowners Keep Our Number
We have been in business 25 years, long enough to have re-roofed some neighborhoods twice and to know which products actually survive here versus which ones just market well. That experience is backed by a 25-year workmanship warranty covering the installation itself, which is where the overwhelming majority of roof failures start. If our flashing or fastening ever fails, we return and make it right at no cost.
It starts with a free on-site estimate. We get on the roof rather than quoting from the driveway, photograph the trouble spots, and give you a written scope that separates must-fix items from nice-to-have upgrades. Whether you own a foursquare near Colby Avenue or a rambler off Evergreen Way, you will know exactly what you are buying before a single shingle comes off.
