Roofing in Federal Way, WA
Roofing for Federal Way homes, from Builders Service Company.
Federal Way’s 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, such as Madrona Meadows (median build year 1990) and Regency Woods (1992), are reaching their first full roof replacement. Older homes are a different job. The assessor’s median build year for single-family homes is 1978, so many of those roofs have been replaced before, and we check for more than one layer before planning a tear-off.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, including architectural shingles with added texture and depth, in a wide range of colors.
- EDCO metal roofing, which won’t rot, resists mold and mildew, and needs little upkeep.
On any roof, the details that decide how it performs are underlayment, flashing and attic ventilation. Good ventilation cuts heat buildup and moisture problems in the attic, while underlayment and flashing protect against leaks where water finds a path past the roofing. Moss or algae on a roof traps moisture against the surface, so we include it in every inspection.
Census data counts 4% of local housing as mobile homes. Manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs that need a different approach than a standard pitched roof, and we assess them case by case.
Wildfire risk here is rated low, at the 59th percentile statewide, so your choice can rest on looks, budget and weather performance.
Signs it is time to call: cracked, curled or missing shingles, ceiling stains, damp spots in the attic, or leaks in the rainy season. Small repairs caught early keep a sound roof from becoming a costly one.

Federal Way roofing FAQ
Do you install metal roofs in Federal Way?
Yes. We install EDCO metal roofing alongside asphalt shingle roofing and give both equal weight. Metal won't rot and resists mold and mildew. With Federal Way's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions reaching their first full roof replacement, many owners are comparing the two now, and we lay out the trade-offs for your house during a free in-home consultation.
Will you tear off my old roof or roof over it?
That depends on what is up there now. The King County assessor's median build year for single-family homes in Federal Way is 1978, so many older roofs have been replaced before and may already have more than one layer. We check the layers, decking, flashing and attic ventilation during a free in-home consultation and plan the job from what we find.
