Roofing contractor in Tacoma, WA

Yes. Cedar shake replacement is one of the more common roofing projects we handle in Tacoma's historic neighborhoods. We can replace deteriorated shake with new cedar, or transition to a composition or metal product that matches the roofline profile of the original. The steep pitches and complex valley work on these homes require careful planning and proper safety rigging.

Homes close to Commencement Bay and the Ruston waterfront are exposed to salt-laden wind-driven rain that accelerates shingle granule loss and corrodes metal flashing faster than homes a few miles inland. The wind direction off the bay also pushes water up under shingles at the ridge and hip lines. More frequent inspection and higher-grade flashing materials help extend the time between major repairs on these properties.

Fiber-cement siding is a strong choice for mid-century Tacoma homes because it handles the city's year-round moisture without warping or rotting the way original wood lap siding does. It also accepts paint well, which matters on homes where exterior color is part of the neighborhood character. Vinyl is a lower-maintenance alternative if painting is not a priority.

Yes. Many Tacoma properties, particularly in hillside neighborhoods like Proctor and McKinley Hill, have significant grade changes in the backyard. We design and build decks with proper post footings and framing to create a stable, level surface on sloped terrain.
