-
Roof Installation
We install new roofs for new construction, home additions, and major remodels. Each roofing system is planned with proper ventilation, drainage, flashing, and material selection in mind.
-
Roof Replacement
When a roof is too worn or damaged for repair, we can remove the existing roofing and install a new system. During a roof replacement, we inspect the decking and evaluate the underlayment, flashing, and ventilation to identify issues that should be addressed as part of the project.
-

For leaks, missing or damaged shingles, storm damage, and other roofing problems that don’t require a full replacement, see our roof repair services.
-

-
Roof Heat Cable
Roof heat cable can help reduce ice buildup along eaves, valleys, and other problem areas during freezing weather. We provide roof heat cable installation and can coordinate installation with a new roof when appropriate.
-
Roof Snow Retention
Snow retention systems help control sliding snow on sloped roofs, reducing the risk of snow falling onto gutters, landscaping, walkways, and other areas below. They can be particularly useful on metal roofs and properties in snow-prone areas such as Cle Elum, Easton, and Leavenworth.
Roofing Material Options
We install a variety of roofing materials for residential and commercial properties, including:
- Asphalt Shingles A common and cost-effective option for residential roofing, including architectural shingle systems.
- Composite Roofing Durable, low-maintenance roofing designed to replicate the appearance of natural materials.
- Metal Roofing A durable option for residential and commercial buildings, available in a range of styles and finishes.
- Tile Roofing Long-lasting roofing that provides a distinctive appearance and can perform well in a variety of conditions.
- Cedar Shake A natural roofing material that adds character and a traditional appearance.
- Commercial Low-Slope Roofing TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems for commercial buildings and other low-slope applications.
- Specialty Roofing Systems Custom and specialty roofing options may be available depending on the building and project requirements.
Roofing Built for Central Washington Weather
Central Washington’s mix of hot summers, winter freezes, wind, and snow in higher elevations can put different demands on a roofing system. We consider local weather conditions when selecting materials and planning each installation.
- Snow and snow loads Properties in higher-elevation areas can experience significant snowfall. Roofing materials, fastening methods, and snow retention systems should be selected with local snow conditions in mind.
- Freeze-thaw cycles Repeated freezing and thawing can contribute to ice buildup and moisture problems. Proper flashing, underlayment, and ice-and-water protection in vulnerable areas can help reduce the risk of leaks.
- Wind Areas of the Kittitas Valley and Columbia Basin can experience strong winds. Proper shingle selection, fastening, and installation techniques help the roofing system withstand local wind conditions.
- Summer heat and UV exposure Central Washington’s hot, sunny summers can expose roofing materials to significant heat and UV radiation. Proper attic ventilation and appropriate material selection can help manage heat and moisture in the roofing system.
- Wildfire exposure In areas where wildfire is a concern, Class A fire-rated roofing materials can provide a higher level of fire resistance. Many asphalt shingle and metal roofing products are available with Class A ratings.
Signs You May Need a Roof Replacement
Some roofing problems can be repaired, while others indicate that the roof is approaching the end of its useful life. Signs that it may be time to consider replacement include:
- Widespread missing, cracked, or curling shingles Damaged shingles can allow water to reach the layers beneath the roof. When deterioration is widespread, replacement may make more sense than repeated repairs.
- Leaks or water stains inside Stains on ceilings or walls can indicate that water is getting through the roofing system. The source should be inspected before deciding whether repair or replacement is needed.
- Sagging or uneven rooflines A sagging area can indicate damaged decking or structural components and should be evaluated promptly.
- An aging roof Asphalt shingle roofs commonly last around 20–30 years, although actual service life varies based on the roofing product, installation, ventilation, weather exposure, and maintenance.
- Excessive granules in gutters Granule loss is common as asphalt shingles age and can indicate that the shingles are wearing down.
- Persistent ventilation or moisture problems Poor attic ventilation can contribute to excessive heat and moisture buildup, which can affect the performance and service life of a roofing system.
What Proper Roof Installation Includes
A roof is more than the visible shingles or metal panels. Proper installation involves the layers and components underneath the finished roofing that help manage water, ventilation, and weather exposure.
- Roof decking The underlying decking is inspected for damage and replaced where necessary before the new roofing is installed.
- Underlayment Underlayment provides an additional layer of protection beneath the finished roofing material.
- Flashing Properly installed flashing helps direct water away from vulnerable areas such as valleys, walls, chimneys, and roof penetrations.
- Ventilation Proper attic ventilation helps manage heat and moisture and can contribute to the service life of the roofing system.
- Fastening Roofing materials must be installed and fastened according to the requirements of the product and applicable building standards.
- Water drainage The roof, flashing, and gutter system need to work together to direct water away from the building.
