FULLY Licensed

Trustworthy Roofing is a licensed Washington roofing contractor based in Puyallup. This page covers what Kent homeowners should know before a roof replacement or repair: the City's re-roof permit process, the local climate, and Kent's neighborhoods.

Roof replacement and repair for Kent homes

Kent gets rain much like the rest of the Puget Sound lowlands. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the nearest station used here, show about 39.3 inches of precipitation a year, with roughly 75 percent falling from October through March (NOAA climate normals). Sea-Tac is near Kent but not in it.

Housing in Kent is newer than in Tacoma. The median year built is 1985, and about 38.5 percent of the city's 49,652 housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimates, which cover all housing units, not only single-family homes). Homes from earlier decades are the ones most likely to be due for a roof, gutter, or fascia look.

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

    View service →

  • Emergency Tarp

What Kent's weather and housing mean for your roof

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

A long wet season

At Sea-Tac, November is the wettest month at 6.31 inches on average and July is the driest at 0.60 inches (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Roofs, gutters, and downspouts carry water for most of the year.

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 Kent-specific data.

Some snow, some wind

Sea-Tac has an annual snowfall normal of 6.3 inches, mostly January and February, and the Washington State Climatologist reports that gusts of 40 mph or more average about one hour a month there. Those are Sea-Tac figures, not Kent measurements. Puget Sound had two snowstorms in one week in February 2019.

Trees on your property

The City of Kent says it cannot maintain trees in or near power lines and points residents to the Puget Sound Energy tree trimming program. Removing a tree on private property needs a permit from Economic and Community Development, 253-856-5454.

Downed lines

Puget Sound Energy says to stay at least 35 feet from a downed power line and call 911 or PSE at 1-888-225-5773. For roof damage with no wires involved, our emergency tarp service is built for that situation.

Kent roofing permit rules in plain words

The points below summarize the City of Kent's public permit pages as read in October 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the City before you start.

  • A permit is required

    Kent's residential building permit page lists adding, repairing, or removing any roofs among the work that needs a permit.

  • Residential Re-Roof Minor Work Permit

    For a house or duplex (1 to 2 units), the City uses a Minor Work Permit with sub type Reroof in its Permit Portal. It has no intake scheduling and no formal review, and the City says it is typically processed in 2 to 3 business days.

  • What the application must say

    The scope must state the materials being removed, the underlayment type, the new materials, and the contractor's Washington license number if a contractor does the work.

  • Fees and inspections

    Intake fees are due before review and issuance fees before the permit is issued. The City adds a 2.65 percent fee to card payments. Inspections are scheduled in the Citizen Portal, as soon as the next business day.

  • Commercial and multifamily

    Re-roofs on buildings with 3 or more units use the Commercial work type, and the City links an engineer's certification form for a single overlay.

  • Mill Creek Historic District

    In the Mill Creek Historic District, the design guidelines say roofs can be replaced with new materials that match the existing shingles without a Certificate of Appropriateness. Different materials or colors may be acceptable but need one, and metal and tile roofs are generally not acceptable unless historically used on the house. Review is about 30 days with no City or Commission fee.

  • Who to call

    The City of Kent Permit Center is at 220 Fourth Ave S, Kent, WA 98032, phone 253-856-5200.

This is general information from public City pages, not legal or code advice. The fee schedule, what exempts a residential re-roof, tear-off layer limits, and energy-code and ventilation rules for re-roofs were not confirmed here, so check with the City about your address.
