Roofing in Steilacoom, WA

Roofing for Steilacoom homes, from Builders Service Company.

Steilacoom sits in the South Sound, where rain runs heavier than in the central Sound and moss grows readily on roofs. That shapes how we approach a reroof: moss management, attic ventilation, solid underlayment and careful flashing at valleys, walls and roof edges. Every roof we install gets the same attention to proper sealing and ventilation.

We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:

• Asphalt shingle roofing, a familiar choice that suits most house styles and budgets.
• EDCO metal roofing, an alternative for owners who prefer the look and character of a metal roof.

Pierce County assessor records show how local roofs are covered today: 2% metal, 2% wood shake and 5% tile. Old shake roofs tend to hold moss and rot, problems a metal or asphalt replacement avoids. With a median build year of 1974, many homes have likely been reroofed before, so before we price a job we check how many layers are already in place and the condition of the roof deck underneath.

Wildfire risk is rated low here, at the 52nd percentile statewide, so fire rating is rarely the deciding factor. The choice between asphalt and metal usually comes down to appearance, budget and how much moss and debris the roof collects.
