FULLY Licensed

Trustworthy Roofing is a licensed Washington roofing contractor based in Puyallup. Graham is an unincorporated community, so Pierce County sets the permit rules. This page covers what the County says about re-roofs, the local climate, and the communities in the County's Graham plan.

Roof replacement and repair for Graham homes

Graham is not a city. It is an unincorporated community governed by Pierce County, so there is no city hall or city permit center, and the County's Planning and Public Works Development Center handles building permits. For many simple re-roofs the County says no building permit is required, with limits on roof slope, roof weight, and sheathing. The permit section below spells them out.

The County's Graham Community Plan describes a largely rural area of rolling pasture, timberland, and low-density residential housing, with only a small northern portion inside the urban growth area. For housing, the Census Bureau's Graham census designated place shows a median year built of 1999 and 11,541 housing units, about 14.5 percent of them built before 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimates, which cover all housing units, not only single-family homes). The census area is not the same as the County's plan area.

We offer full roof replacement, roofing repairs, gutter installs, gutter service and repair, fascia board repair, and emergency tarp service in Graham and the surrounding Pierce County communities. Call (253) 455-4347 or use the quote form to start.

What Graham's rural setting and weather mean for your roof

These points come from public weather, Census, and County sources. They describe the area in general and are not an inspection of your roof.

A long wet season

NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the McMillin Reservoir station show about 45.1 inches of precipitation a year, with roughly 72 percent from October through March. November averages 7.06 inches and August 0.90 (NOAA climate normals). The station is nearby but not in Graham.

Timber, pasture, and trees near the house

The County's plan describes much of the area as timberland, pasture, and low-density rural residential. Where homes sit near trees, shade and falling branches matter for a roof, and we found no Graham-specific tree data to quote.

Moss and shade

Oregon State University Extension, writing about the same Pacific Northwest climate, says moss on roofs is common in the moist region, depends on shade, and can lift shingles and let water in. Trimming nearby trees to let in sun is its most effective long-term fix. That is Oregon guidance, not Graham data.

Snow and wind

The McMillin Reservoir station has an annual snowfall normal of 5.6 inches, and Puget Sound had two snowstorms in one week in February 2019. The University of Washington's climate office reports that gusts of 40 mph or more average about one hour a month at Sea-Tac Airport. These are regional figures, and we found no Graham-specific wind data.

County roads and power lines

Pierce County's windstorm page says County crews remove downed or leaning trees and debris along County roads, and asks residents to report a blocking tree at 253-798-6000. It tells residents to contact their local energy utility about downed lines, which depends on your address. If Puget Sound Energy serves you: Puget Sound Energy says to treat any downed power line as energized, stay at least 35 feet away, and call 911 or PSE at 1-888-225-5773.

Graham roofing permit rules in plain words

Graham follows Pierce County's rules, not a city's. The points below summarize the County's public pages as read in October 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the County before you start.

  • When no building permit is needed

    The County's FAQ says a building permit is not required to re-roof a home or private garage with a roof slope greater than 2 in 12 when the total load of all roof coverings does not exceed 7.5 pounds per square foot. The County's exempt-work guide applies this to one and two-family dwellings and to private garages, carports, and accessory structures.

  • When the exemption does not apply

    The exemption does not apply to the replacement of roof sheathing, and it does not apply to vegetated roofs. If you are replacing sheathing, expect a permit.

  • Exempt still means code applies

    The County's guide says work that is exempt from a permit must still comply with code.

  • How to apply

    When a permit is needed, the County's online permit portal is linked from its Development Center page.

  • Historic properties

    Pierce County has a Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission and a County Register of Historic Places. The County pages we read do not say whether an ordinary re-roof on a designated property triggers review, so ask if your home is designated.

  • Who to call

    The Development Center is at the Pierce County Annex East Entrance, 2401 35th St, Tacoma. The phone is (253) 798-3739 and the email is PCPermits@PierceCountyWa.gov, with phone and email hours of Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The lobby is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for full in-person services, and Tuesday and Thursday for basic services only.

This is general information from public County pages, not legal or code advice. We could not open the County code text itself, so this relies on the County's FAQ and guide. Fee amounts, tear-off layer limits, and energy-code and ventilation rules for re-roofs were not confirmed here, so check with the County about your address.

Graham and the surrounding communities

These descriptions come from Pierce County's Graham Community Plan, which lists many small, distinct communities. The history is from the plan and does not mean Trustworthy serves each one specifically.

  • Graham

    The plan says Smith Graham, a Cascade Timber Company foreman, started harvesting timber around 1900 and the Tacoma Eastern Railroad ran through Graham.

  • Elk Plain

    Named for the elk herds that grazed the prairie. The Elk Plain School District was created in 1892 and consolidated into Bethel School District in 1949.

  • Kapowsin

    A community settled in 1888 through the logging boom, around Kapowsin Lake.

  • Thrift

    Homesteaders arrived in the 1880s, and the community grew after the Tacoma Eastern Railroad arrived in 1900.

  • Rocky Ridge

    Described in the plan as running from about 260th St E over the North Fork of Muck Creek to the ridge of Muck Creek hill, between 8th Ave E (Pole Line Road) and Webster Road.

  • Other historic communities

    The plan also describes Leber, Tanwax Junction, Kirby, Benston, Harding, and Electron as historic communities, not current boundaries.
