FULLY Licensed

Trustworthy Roofing is a licensed Washington roofing contractor based in Puyallup. This page covers what Olympia homeowners should know before a roof replacement or repair: the City's reroof permit wording, two NOAA stations that disagree by about eight inches, and heritage review.

Roof replacement and repair for Olympia homes

Olympia is a wet place, and the number you read depends on the station. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Olympia Airport station, whose coordinates fall in Tumwater, show about 50.6 inches of precipitation a year. A volunteer station in Olympia itself, Olympia 1.3 S, shows about 59.0 inches (NOAA climate normals). At both, roughly 78 percent of the rain falls from October through March.

Housing in Olympia is mid-aged. The median year built is 1982, and about 47.5 percent of the city's 26,795 housing units, 12,730 of them, were built before 1980. About 11.6 percent, or 3,108 units, date to 1939 or earlier (U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimates, which cover all housing units, not only single-family homes).

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

Roofing services for Olympia homeowners

  • Full Roof Replacement

    July is the driest month at both NOAA stations, at about half an inch to two thirds of an inch. You can request a free quote any time of year.

    View service →

  • Roofing Repairs

    With about 78 percent of the rain falling from October through March, ceiling stains and loose flashing are worth checking early.

    View service →

  • Gutter installs

    At roughly 51 to 59 inches of precipitation a year at the two stations, gutters and downspouts carry a lot of water in Olympia.

    View service →

  • Gutter service and repair

    Needles, leaves, and moss can clog gutters in a wet climate. Service and repair keep the water moving.

    View service →

  • Fascia board repair

    Fascia boards sit along the roof edge where gutters attach, and a wet season that long is hard on them.

    View service →

  • Emergency Tarp

    If a storm or a fallen branch has opened your roof, a tarp can limit water damage until a permanent repair.

Olympia roofs in a very wet climate

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

Two stations, two answers

At the airport station, November is the wettest month at 8.21 inches and July the driest at 0.53 inches. At the in-city Olympia 1.3 S volunteer station, November averages 9.67 inches and July 0.66 inches (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). That is a normal for each station, not for every part of Olympia, and we did not check the volunteer station's record length.

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 Olympia-specific data.

Snow and wind

The airport station has an annual snowfall normal of 3.9 inches, mostly in January and December. Puget Sound had two snowstorms in one week in February 2019. We found no Olympia-specific wind figures, so we do not quote any.

Housing age and what it means

Census data counts when buildings were built, not when roofs were replaced. In a climate this wet, gutters, flashing, and fascia on older homes are worth checking along with the shingles.

Trees on your property

The City's Urban Forestry page says hazard trees on private property are the owner's responsibility and that a certified arborist is needed. A Tree Permit is required if removal drops the property below the minimum tree units. If fallen trees or branches are leaning on a power line, the City says to call 9-1-1 and not approach.

Olympia reroof permit rules in plain words

The points below quote or summarize the City of Olympia's public permit documents as read on October 27, 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the City before you start.

  • Reroofing needs a permit

    The City's "When do I need a permit?" handout says: "Reroof | Required for residential and commercial." The City's "What do I need" page also lists reroofing among work that needs a permit.

  • Small repairs and in-kind replacement

    The two City documents we read list no exemption for small repairs or in-kind replacement. The City's code may say more, so ask the Permit Center before you assume either way.

  • Inspection of tear-off or one overlay layer

    City Building Bulletin 09-18 says inspection may be by photo or video, the work need not wait for the inspector, and a final visual inspection from the ground of gutters, downspouts, and flashing is required. We did not confirm the bulletin's date or that it is still current.

  • How to apply

    Applications go through the City's SmartGov online portal. The Permit Center page says to allow 48 to 72 hours for an email response.

  • Register properties and Heritage Review

    When a building permit or other City approval is required for work on a property on the Olympia Register of Historic Places, the process includes Heritage Review of proposed exterior changes. It happens automatically when you submit the permit application and uses the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The City's pages we read do not say whether a like-for-like roof on a Register property is exempt.

  • Who to call

    The Permit Center is at 601 4th Avenue E, Olympia, WA 98501, in City Hall, 2nd floor, phone 360-753-8314. The counter is open Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Fridays. The City's historic preservation page lists 360-753-8427 for Heritage Review.

This is general information from public City pages, not legal or code advice. Fee amounts, any small-repair exemption, whether a like-for-like roof on a Register property is exempt from Heritage Review, energy code and ventilation rules for re-roofs, and critical-area rules were not confirmed here, so check with the City about your address.

Olympia neighborhood associations

We found no official descriptions of Olympia's neighborhoods, so this section lists names only. The names come from the directory of the Council of Neighborhood Associations, a volunteer organization that is not part of the City. This does not mean we work in each one specifically.

  • Recognized Neighborhood Associations

    The directory lists Bigelow, Bigelow Highlands Park, Briarwood, Burbank Elliott, Carlyon/North, Cooper Crest, Downtown Neighbors' Association, East Bay Drive, Eastside Neighborhood Association, Evergreen Point, Governor Stevens, Northeast Neighborhood Association, Northwest Olympia Neighborhood Association, South Capitol Neighborhood Association, South West Olympia Neighborhood Association, West Bay Drive, and Wildwood Neighborhood Association, among others.

  • Neighborhood Recognition Program

    The City says its Neighborhood Recognition Program started in 1989.
