Roofing in Sultan, WA
Roofing for Sultan homes, from Builders Service Company.
Roofs in the Cascade foothills face ice storms and east winds, and higher lots also carry a snow load. Those conditions shape both the roofing material and how the roof is put together, from underlayment and flashing to ventilation and the sealing at edges and ridges.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing is a familiar, cost-effective choice for the many houses built from 2000 on. Wind-rated shingles and careful sealing help a roof hold up to east winds.
- EDCO metal roofing sheds snow, which makes it a good match for homes on higher lots. Before adding a new roof where snow load is a concern, we check the roof structure.
Other local details matter too. Mobile homes make up 9% of local housing, and manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs that need their own approach to drainage and materials. Houses built from 1950 to 1979, 16% of the housing stock, are the most likely to have aging roofs with more than one layer that has to come off before new roofing goes on. If your house still has an old cedar shake roof, a metal or asphalt replacement avoids the moss and rot that wear shakes down.
Wildfire risk here is rated moderate, at the 62nd percentile statewide. Snow, ice and wind usually drive the roofing decision, and we go over fire ratings with you at the consultation.
Our focus is replacing aging or damaged roofs and installing new roofs for remodels and additions. Every roof gets proper sealing and ventilation; we do not take shortcuts on either.

Sultan roofing FAQ
What kind of roof holds up to ice storms in the foothills?
Both asphalt shingle and EDCO metal roofing can work here; the right choice depends on your house and lot. Ice storms put the weak points of a roof to the test, so we focus on underlayment, flashing and sealing at edges and ridges as much as on the surface material. EDCO metal roofing sheds snow, while asphalt shingles are a familiar, cost-effective option. We look at both with you during the consultation.
Can you replace the roof on a manufactured home in Sultan?
Yes. Mobile homes make up 9% of local housing, and manufactured homes often have low-slope roofs that need their own approach to drainage and materials. We look at the existing roof, its slope and its structure during the free in-home consultation, then talk through asphalt shingle and EDCO metal roofing options that suit the home. Every roof we install gets proper sealing and ventilation.
