Roofing in Port Townsend, WA

Roofing for Port Townsend homes, from Builders Service Company.

Roofs in Port Townsend take marine wind, and homes with waterfront exposure need corrosion-resistant fasteners, flashing and finishes. We install two main roof types and weigh them equally for each house.

• Asphalt shingle roofing suits most detached houses, which make up 75% of local housing. The details matter as much as the shingle: underlayment, ventilation, and flashing at walls, chimneys and other roof penetrations.
• EDCO metal roofing holds up to wind and needs little maintenance. Near the water, we specify corrosion-resistant metal finishes and fasteners rated for marine exposure.

If your house still has an old cedar shake roof showing moss or rot, either option replaces it with a roof that has no wood to decay.

Wildfire risk data rates the area Low, at the 48th percentile in Washington. Fire rating is less of a deciding factor here than on high-risk lots, though both metal roofing and Class A-rated shingle systems are available if you want that protection.

Mobile homes make up 5% of local housing. Manufactured-home roofs are often low-slope, so they need a material and flashing plan suited to that pitch, which we work out on site.

Every roof job starts with an inspection of the decking, ventilation and existing layers, so the replacement plan fits what is actually on your house.
