Roofing in Orting, WA
Roofing for Orting homes, from Builders Service Company.

Orting sits in the South Sound, which gets heavier rain than the central Sound, and moss on roofs is a common sight. Moss holds water against the roof surface, so a good replacement here depends on what goes underneath. We pay close attention to ventilation, underlayment and flashing, the details that keep water out through long wet stretches. We do not take shortcuts: every roof is installed with proper sealing and ventilation.
We install two main roof types and give both equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing is the familiar choice on most houses and comes in a range of colors that suit both newer subdivisions and older homes.
- EDCO metal roofing is a less common choice locally. Pierce County assessor records show just 1% of homes have a metal roof today, so it gives a house a distinct look on the street.
If your current roof is aging or damaged, replacement starts with an inspection of the decking, flashing and roof edges, along with the gutters that carry water away. Old cedar shakes, where they remain on older homes, tend to collect moss and rot in this climate, and either asphalt or metal is a practical replacement.
Wildfire risk is rated low, at the 54th percentile in the state, so the roofing details we focus on here are the ones that handle rain and moss. We go over material options, colors and the condition of your current roof during the free in-home consultation. Learn more about Orting home exterior services.
