Frequently Asked Roofing Questions

Expert answers from the Puget Sound's trusted roofing professionals.

  • How often should I have my roof cleaned in Washington?

    Because of our wet, moss-heavy climate, most roofs need professional cleaning every 1–2 years. Homes surrounded by trees may require cleaning more frequently.

  • Does moss really damage my roof?

    Yes. Moss traps moisture, lifts shingles, and accelerates shingle deterioration. Left untreated, it can cause leaks or structural issues. Moss treatment is essential for Washington roofs.

  • When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?

    If your roof is over 20 years old, experiencing frequent leaks, or showing widespread damage, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

  • Can you repair just one leaking area?

    Absolutely. We specialize in targeted leak repairs for shake, composition, and cement tile roofs. We diagnose the exact source of the leak and repair only what's necessary.

  • How long does a roof replacement take?

    Most roof replacements take 1–3 days, depending on the size, materials, and weather.

  • Will cleaning my roof damage the shingles?

    No. We use safe, low-pressure roof cleaning techniques that remove debris and moss without harming your shingles.

  • Do you offer emergency roof leak repair?

    Yes. If your roof is actively leaking, we provide rapid repair service to prevent further interior damage.
