Roofing in Lake Stevens, WA
Roofing for Lake Stevens homes, from Builders Service Company.
The median home in the city dates from 1997, so many houses still carry the roof they were built with. That makes the free consultation the time to check the roof’s age and condition and whether older layers sit underneath before a new roof goes on.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, a familiar choice for pitched roofs on detached homes, in a range of colors to match new siding.
- EDCO metal roofing, a long-term option for owners who want a metal roof on the house.
Climate data for this part of North Snohomish County points to valley wind as the main weather factor. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashing and works under loose shingles, so we pay close attention to flashing at walls and roof penetrations, underlayment and ventilation on every job. Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 34th percentile statewide, so roof choice usually comes down to wind exposure, budget and looks rather than fire rating. Mobile homes make up 2% of housing units, and their low-slope manufactured-home roofs call for a different approach, which we cover during the visit.
Signs it is time to look at your roof:
- Damp insulation or water stains in the attic after wind-driven rain
- Water stains or discoloration on ceilings
- Shingles that are curling, cracked, missing or losing granules
- Blistering paint, which can point to poor roof ventilation
If you see any of these, have the roof assessed before small leaks reach the structure.

Lake Stevens roofing FAQ
What roofing do you install in Lake Stevens?
We install asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing, and we give both equal weight. With the median home in the city built in 1997, many houses still have their original roof, so we check its age, condition and any older layers before recommending either option. The choice comes down to your budget, the look you want and how long you plan to stay.
How does valley wind affect a new roof?
Valley wind is the main weather factor in climate data for this part of North Snohomish County. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashing and works under loose shingles, so we focus on flashing at walls and roof penetrations, underlayment and ventilation. Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 34th percentile statewide, so wind exposure matters more than fire rating when choosing materials.
