Roofing in Kenmore, WA
Roofing for Kenmore homes, from Builders Service Company.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight: asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing. Which one fits depends on your house, your budget and how long you plan to stay.
Age is the first thing we look at. Census data shows 36% of all housing in Kenmore was built between 1950 and 1979, and another 34% between 1980 and 1999. On houses that age, a replacement usually means checking the roof decking and any layers left from earlier reroofs before new material goes on. If your house still has a cedar shake roof, moss and rot on aging shakes are a common reason to move to asphalt or metal.
Moisture details matter as much as the roofing itself. We pay close attention to underlayment, flashing where the roof meets walls and chimneys, and ventilation that lets the attic dry out between storms.
A few other local factors:
- Wildfire risk here is rated Low, at the 55th percentile statewide, so a fire rating is rarely what decides the material.
- 48% of single-family homes have two or more stories, which means more staging and safety setup for the crew.
- Mobile homes make up 3% of housing. Low-slope manufactured-home roofs need a different approach than a pitched house roof, and we assess them case by case.
Every roofing estimate starts with a thorough look at the whole roof and an honest report of what we find. The job ends with proper sealing, ventilation checks and cleanup of the site. Learn more about Kenmore home exterior services.

Kenmore roofing FAQ
Do you install metal or asphalt roofs in Kenmore?
Both, and we give them equal weight. We install asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing. Census data shows 36% of housing in the city was built between 1950 and 1979 and 34% between 1980 and 1999, so we check the decking and any older layers before new material goes on. The right choice depends on your house, budget and plans, which we cover in a free in-home consultation.
Do I need a fire-rated roof in Kenmore?
Usually it isn't the deciding factor. Wildfire risk here is rated Low, at the 55th percentile statewide. Moisture details such as underlayment, flashing and attic ventilation tend to matter more. If you want added protection, EDCO metal roofing is one of the two roof types we install. We review the options during a free in-home consultation, and financing is available.
