Roofing in Medina, WA
Roofing for Medina homes, from Builders Service Company.
Roofs in Medina deal with moderate rain rather than snow load or fire. The U.S. Forest Service rates local wildfire risk as low, at the 18th percentile statewide, so roof choices are driven by moisture, ventilation and appearance more than ember defense. We install two main roof types and give them equal weight: asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing.
With an assessor median build year of 1979, the original roofs on most houses have long since been replaced, and older roofs may carry more than one layer, which affects tear-off. Every replacement starts with an inspection of the existing roof and structure, then the details that keep water out in an Eastside climate:
- Underlayment and flashing at walls, valleys, chimneys and other roof penetrations
- Tight sealing at every edge and overlap
- Ventilation matched to the attic, so moisture doesn’t build up
- Moss management on shaded slopes and regular attention to gutters and roof edges
Asphalt shingles are the familiar choice on most homes and suit a wide range of budgets. EDCO metal roofing is the choice for owners who want a metal roof. About 15% of homes sit on the waterfront, and there we specify corrosion-resistant metal finishes, fasteners and flashing. If your house still has cedar shakes, moss and rot on old shakes are a common reason to move to metal or asphalt.
At the free in-home consultation we look at your current roof, compare both options for your home and walk through the permit step with the city.
