Roofing in Rainier, WA
Roofing for Rainier homes, from Builders Service Company.
Moss on roofs is a common South Sound problem, and it shapes how we plan a reroof here. Moss holds water against the roof surface, so a replacement focuses on the details that keep water moving and let the roof dry: underlayment, flashing at valleys and walls, and proper ventilation. Keeping gutters and roof edges clear afterward helps the new roof stay ahead of it. If your house still has an old cedar shake roof, moss and rot on the shakes are often what prompts the call.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight. Asphalt shingle roofing suits a wide range of houses and budgets. EDCO metal roofing is the other option, and we walk you through how each one fits your roof and plans.
The median home in town was built in 1994, so many roofs here have seen decades of wet weather. Before recommending anything, we check the age of the current roof and how many layers are on it.
About 14% of local homes are mobile homes. Manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs, which need materials and details suited to that pitch, so we assess them separately from site-built houses.
Wood heat is used in 12% of homes here, which makes the chimney a priority. Chimney flashing and the cricket behind the chimney get a close inspection, since roof penetrations are where many leaks start.

Rainier roofing FAQ
What kinds of roofs do you install in Rainier?
We install asphalt shingle roofing and EDCO metal roofing, and we give both equal weight. Moss on roofs is common in the South Sound, so either way we focus on underlayment, flashing and ventilation that help the roof shed water and dry out. At a free in-home consultation we look at your current roof and explain how each option fits your house and budget.
Can you replace the roof on a manufactured home?
Yes, and it is a common question here, since about 14% of homes in Rainier are mobile homes. Manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs, which need materials and details suited to that pitch rather than the approach used on a steeper site-built roof. We assess the roof structure and current covering at a free in-home consultation before recommending a replacement.
