Roofing in Mountlake Terrace, WA
Roofing for Mountlake Terrace homes, from Builders Service Company.
Roofs in Mountlake Terrace mostly fight moisture. In the Puget Sound climate, moss takes hold on north-facing roof planes, and moss holds water against the roof surface. That makes a replacement as much about the details as the material: underlayment, flashing at walls and penetrations, and attic ventilation that lets the roof deck dry out.
We install two main roofing types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, the familiar choice on most homes.
- EDCO metal roofing, a metal option for homeowners who want a different look. We can walk you through the available EDCO profiles and colors.
If your house still has an old cedar shake roof, moss and rot on the shakes are usually what prompt the call, and either asphalt or EDCO metal is a sound replacement.
Wildfire risk data rates the area as low, at the 47th percentile statewide, so moisture rather than embers drives most roofing decisions. Mobile homes make up 2% of housing, and their low-slope manufactured-home roofs need a different approach than a pitched roof, which we assess on site.
Every replacement starts with an inspection and consultation. On the job, we remove the old roofing, inspect the deck and underlayment, install the new roof, and finish with a final review and clean-up.

Mountlake Terrace roofing FAQ
Should I choose asphalt shingles or metal for a mossy roof?
Either works, and the choice usually comes down to look and budget. In the Puget Sound climate, moss grows on north-facing roof planes, so underlayment, flashing and attic ventilation matter as much as the roofing itself. We install asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing and give both equal weight. During a free in-home consultation we inspect your roof and walk you through both options.

A roof replacement starts with an inspection and consultation at your home. On the job, we remove the old roofing, inspect the deck and underlayment, install the new asphalt shingle or EDCO metal roof, and finish with a final review and clean-up.
