Failing gutters cause more home damage than failing roofs. Water that overflows or escapes through holes washes away foundation soil, rots fascia, ruins landscaping, and floods basements.

Custom-fabricated on-site to your exact roofline — fewer joints means fewer leaks over time.
Proper gutters route 100+ gallons per inch of rain away from your foundation, preventing settling and basement flooding.

If your Seattle roof is more than 10 years old, chances are you have some moss or algae growth on the north-facing slopes. Washington's oceanic climate — cool, damp, and shaded much of the year — creates the perfect conditions for biological growth that holds moisture against the roof surface 24/7. Annual cleaning and zinc strip installation are the most cost-effective ways to extend roof life here.
Seattle homeowners should prioritize moisture and biological resistance when choosing roofing. Algae-resistant architectural asphalt is the most common choice and works well when paired with annual maintenance and zinc strip protection. Metal roofing eliminates the algae problem entirely and lasts 40–70 years — increasingly the smart choice for Washington homeowners staying long-term.
In Seattle, the cost difference between standard and algae-resistant shingles is typically only 5–10%, but the lifespan difference is dramatic in this climate. Add a zinc or copper ridge strip ($200–$400) at install time and you can extend roof life by years. Pricing also varies by season — book early summer for the best contractor availability.
Washington requires a permit for full roof replacement. Local code typically requires proper ventilation calculations, ice-and-water shield in colder regions, and underlayment specifications appropriate for the wet climate. Final inspection is required before the permit can close — your contractor schedules this.
