Roofing in Kent, WA
Roofing for Kent homes, from Builders Service Company.
Roofs across the city sit either on the valley floor or in the plateau subdivisions of East Hill, and the same checks apply in both. The usual signs that replacement is due are moss and algae on the surface, cracked or missing shingles, and water stains on ceilings. A roof lasts only as well as the details beneath it: underlayment, flashing at walls and penetrations, and attic ventilation that keeps moisture from building up.
We install two main roof types and treat them as equal options:
- Asphalt shingle roofing comes in a wide range of colors and styles and fits most budgets.
- EDCO metal roofing gives a standing metal profile for owners who prefer the look and want a metal roof over the house.
We compare both side by side at the consultation, on the same underlayment, flashing and ventilation standards.
King County assessor records show 46% of single-family homes have two or more stories, so access, staging and safety planning are part of every roof we price. Mobile homes make up 3% of housing units, and their low-slope manufactured-home roofs need a different approach than a pitched house roof, so we look at those case by case.
On older houses, especially the 35% built between 1950 and 1979, we check during tear-off how many roof layers are already in place and repair any damaged decking before the new roof goes on.

Kent roofing FAQ
What roofing do you install in Kent?
We install asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing and treat them as equal options. Asphalt shingles come in many colors and styles and fit most budgets, while EDCO metal suits owners who prefer a metal profile. King County assessor records show 46% of single-family homes have two or more stories, so access and safety planning are part of every quote we prepare at the free in-home consultation.
Does wildfire risk change which roof I should choose in Kent?
For most homes here, no. Wildfire risk is rated Low, at the 51st percentile statewide, well below the high-risk range where Class A roof assemblies become the priority. Most homeowners choose between asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing based on budget, appearance and how long they plan to stay. Either way, we focus on underlayment, flashing and attic ventilation to handle moisture.
