Roofing in Fife, WA
Roofing for Fife homes, from Builders Service Company.
Fife is in the South Sound region, which gets heavier rain than the central Sound, and moss on roofs is common. That puts as much weight on the details as on the roofing itself: attic ventilation, underlayment, flashing at walls and valleys, and sealing at every penetration. If your roof leaks, shows wear or has taken storm damage, those are the areas we check first, whether the job is a repair or a full replacement of an aging system.
Pierce County assessor records show 0% of single-family homes here with a metal roof, 0% with wood shake and 1% with tile. Switching to metal would therefore set your house apart from most of its neighbors.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, a familiar choice that we install with the moss-season details above: good ventilation, full underlayment and tight flashing.
- EDCO metal roofing, for owners who want the look of metal.
The choice usually comes down to appearance, budget and how long you plan to stay. Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 35th percentile in Washington, so you can choose between the two on rain, moss and style.
Mobile homes make up 3% of local housing. Manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs that need different detailing from a standard pitched roof, and we look at those case by case.

Fife roofing FAQ
Does a metal roof make sense on a Fife house?
It can, even though it would be unusual locally: assessor records show 0% of single-family homes here have a metal roof. We install EDCO metal roofing and asphalt shingle roofing and give both equal weight. Either one, installed with proper ventilation, underlayment and flashing, handles rain and moss. The decision usually comes down to appearance, budget and how long you plan to stay in the house.
How does South Sound rain affect a new roof in Fife?
It puts the focus on the details. The South Sound gets heavier rain than the central Sound, and moss on roofs is common, so ventilation, underlayment and flashing at walls, valleys and penetrations matter as much as the shingles or panels. We check those areas first on every roof we inspect, whether the job turns out to be a repair or a full replacement with asphalt shingles or EDCO metal.
