Roofing in Bothell, WA
Roofing for Bothell homes, from Builders Service Company.
Census data shows 34% of homes in Bothell were built from 1980 to 1999, and many of the city’s 1970s to 1990s subdivisions still carry roofs from that era or from a first re-roof. Older homes may have more than one layer of shingles to strip, and we check the roof deck underneath once it is exposed.
The Eastside gets moderate rain, which is enough for moss to take hold on shaded slopes. Moss holds water against the roof, lifts shingles and works into the edges. Signs your roof is due:
- Cracked, curled or missing shingles
- Moss or algae that keeps coming back
- Water stains on ceilings or in the attic
- Leaks around vents, skylights or chimneys
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, with underlayment, flashing and attic ventilation installed as one system so moisture does not build up under the roof.
- EDCO metal roofing, with panels and trim detailed to shed water at every edge and seam.
Old cedar shakes on a house here tend to hold moss and rot along the courses; either replacement ends that cycle.
Mobile homes make up 6% of housing, and their low-slope manufactured-home roofs need different details than a pitched house roof. Wildfire risk is rated Low, at the 55th percentile in the state, so moisture control usually matters more than fire rating when you choose a roof.
