Homes in Seattle: what pros run into
The June 2021 heat dome pushed Seattle to 108 degrees, and many homes without air conditioning added heat pumps afterward. Craftsman houses and Seattle box houses, the local name for foursquares, line streets in Wallingford, Ballard and Capitol Hill.
Rain is frequent from October through April, though the yearly total is lower than in many East Coast cities. Chimneys on older homes need sound flashing to keep water out.
Moss and algae grow quickly on shaded roofs in damp weather and can lift shingles. Old home heating oil tanks, some buried in yards, are a known issue with older Seattle houses, and decommissioning them is common.
Utilities, permits and licensing
Roofing contractors in Washington must register with the Department of Labor and Industries. Check with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections about permit requirements before re-roofing, especially in historic districts. After a big storm, roofers get busy fast, so a temporary tarp can protect the house while you wait for a full repair.
What usually goes wrong
Typical reasons people reach out:
- Missing or curled shingles
- Leaks around a chimney or skylight
- Ice dams in winter
A little prep helps
Note when leaks happen, such as during heavy rain or wind from one direction.

What people ask us
Which parts of Seattle can you help with?
Our network reaches Queen Anne, Wallingford, Greenwood and Columbia City and the rest of Seattle (98101, 98102, 98103, 98104, 98105 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
What should I tell the roofer?
Describe where you see water, when it happens and the roof type if you know it. If you can, note which rooms are affected and whether leaks follow wind from one direction.
What is flashing?
Metal or other material that seals joints around chimneys, vents and walls. Failed flashing is a common leak source. Rusty, bent or lifted flashing is a common reason for leaks around chimneys and skylights.
What causes ceiling stains?
Roof leaks, flashing failures, plumbing leaks or condensation. A roofer can check the roof side. Water can travel along rafters before it drips, so the stain is not always right under the leak.
Not in a rush? Say so. Flexible timing can make it easier to find someone with an opening.
