FULLY Licensed

Trustworthy Roofing is a licensed Washington roofing contractor based in Puyallup. This page is for Seattle homeowners weighing a roof replacement or repair, with the City's re-roof permit wording, in-city weather data, and the neighborhoods and historic districts the City lists.

Roof replacement and repair for Seattle homes

Rainfall numbers in Seattle depend on which station you read. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for its Sand Point station, which sits inside the city, show about 37.8 inches of precipitation a year, with roughly 73 percent falling from October through March (NOAA climate normals). NOAA's Boeing Field station lists 36.49 inches. Either way, a Seattle roof is wet for most of the cooler half of the year.

Much of Seattle's housing is older. The median year built is 1976, and about 52.8 percent of the city's 393,918 housing units, 207,857 of them, were built before 1980. About 22.8 percent, or 89,841 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, so apartments and condos are counted too).

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

Roofing services for Seattle homeowners

  • Full Roof Replacement

    NOAA's Sand Point normals show July as Seattle's driest month at 0.78 inches. You can request a free quote any time of year, and we can talk through timing.

    View service →

  • Roofing Repairs

    With about 73 percent of the year's rain falling from October through March, a stain on a ceiling or loose flashing is worth checking early.

    View service →

  • Gutter installs

    Seattle averages about 38 inches of precipitation a year at Sand Point, and gutters and downspouts carry that water off the roof edge.

    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

    More than half of Seattle's housing units were built before 1980, and fascia boards on older homes have been through many wet seasons.

    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.

Seattle roofs: weather, housing age, and storms

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

Rain that depends on the station

At Sand Point, November is the wettest month at 5.85 inches on average and July is the driest at 0.78 inches (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Boeing Field also peaks in November, at 5.80 inches. These are station normals, not a measurement of your street.

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 Seattle-specific data.

Light snow, occasional wind

The Sand Point station has an annual snowfall normal of 3.8 inches, mostly January, February, and December. Puget Sound did have two snowstorms in one week in February 2019. For wind, the Washington State Climatologist found that gusts of 40 mph or more average about one hour a month in fall and winter at Sea-Tac, which is in the city of SeaTac, so that is a regional figure, not a Seattle measurement.

Housing age is not roof age

Census data tells you when buildings were built, not when their roofs were last replaced. On an older home, it is worth having flashing, gutters, and fascia boards looked at along with the shingles.

Downed lines and fallen trees

Seattle City Light says to assume all downed power lines are active, not to approach, to stay 30 feet back, and to call 911. The City's separate winter weather page says to stay at least 35 feet from downed lines. The two pages give different distances, so do not approach a line at all. To report an outage call (206) 684-3000, and to report a fallen tree or large branch blocking a street or sidewalk call (206) 386-1218. If a branch has opened your roof and no wires are involved, our emergency tarp service is built for that situation.

Seattle re-roof permit rules in plain words

Re-roofing in Seattle is handled by the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI). The points below quote or summarize the City's public pages as read on October 27, 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with SDCI before you start.

  • Houses, duplexes, and townhouses

    SDCI's re-roof page says: "A permit is not required for re-roof work at one- and two-family homes and townhouses if no changes are made to the building envelope other than adding or replacing insulation, and the insulation value is equivalent to or better than the existing structure."

  • When SDCI says a permit is needed

    A construction permit is needed if re-roofing "alters the building envelope in any way other than adding or replacing insulation" at one- and two-family homes and townhouses. The page also says a re-roof permit is needed when you are repairing an area greater than 500 square feet or replacing roofing materials on commercial and multifamily projects.

  • What the page does not settle

    The same page describes a re-roof permit issued the same day online, with a flat fee of half the base fee plus the state surcharge, closed out by an Affidavit-Roof Replacement emailed to SCI_INSPECTIONS@seattle.gov with no on-site inspection. The City's affidavit form states a $99.50 fee. The page does not spell out how the no-permit statement and the same-day permit fit together for a typical house tear-off, so confirm with SDCI at (206) 684-8600.

  • Landmarks and historic districts

    A Certificate of Approval "must be issued before any changes can be made to the designated feature of a City Landmark, or before changes can be made to the external appearance of any building, structure, or site" within the City's eight historic districts. The City's page we read does not say whether an in-kind roof replacement needs one, so ask the Department of Neighborhoods at (206) 684-0464 first.

  • Who to call

    SDCI is at 700 5th Ave, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104, phone (206) 684-8600. The Department of Neighborhoods, for landmarks and historic districts, is at 600 4th Ave, 4th Floor.

This is general information from public City pages, not legal or code advice. Fee amounts, which building code edition applies, energy code and ventilation rules for re-roofs, tear-off layer limits, and whether in-kind roof work in a landmark or district needs a Certificate of Approval were not confirmed here, so check with the City about your address.

Seattle neighborhoods and historic districts

The City's Department of Neighborhoods says its neighborhood lists are not authoritative, so these are names the City lists for each of its seven council districts, not official boundaries. We did not find official descriptions for them, so none are given here. This does not mean we work in each one specifically.

  • Council District 1

    The City's list includes Admiral, Alki, Arbor Heights, Delridge, Fauntleroy, Georgetown, High Point, Highland Park, Morgan Junction, Pioneer Square, South Park, West Seattle, West Seattle Junction, and Westwood, among others.

  • Council District 3

    The City's list includes Capitol Hill, Central District, Eastlake, First Hill, Leschi, Madison Park, Madrona, Montlake, and Pike/Pine, among others.

  • Council District 4

    The City's list includes Fremont, Laurelhurst, Ravenna Bryant, Roosevelt, Sand Point, University District, View Ridge, Wallingford, and Wedgwood, among others.

  • Council District 5

    The City's list includes Bitter Lake, Greenwood, Lake City, Maple Leaf, and Northgate, among others.

  • Council District 6

    The City's list includes Ballard, Crown Hill, Green Lake, Loyal Heights, Magnolia, Phinney Ridge, Sunset Hill, and West Woodland, among others.

  • Council District 7

    The City's list includes Belltown, Downtown, Queen Anne, South Lake Union, Uptown, and Pike Place Market, among others.

    The City lists eight designated historic districts: Ballard Avenue Landmark, Columbia City Landmark, Fort Lawton Landmark, Harvard-Belmont Landmark, International Special Review, Pike Place Market Historical, Pioneer Square Preservation, and Sand Point Naval Air Station Landmark.

Seattle roofing questions

SDCI's re-roof page says a permit is not required for re-roof work at one- and two-family homes and townhouses if no changes are made to the building envelope other than adding or replacing insulation that is as good or better. A permit is needed if the work alters the envelope in other ways, if you are repairing more than 500 square feet, or for commercial and multifamily re-roofs. The same page also describes a same-day online permit and an affidavit closeout, and it does not say how that fits a typical house tear-off, so confirm with SDCI at (206) 684-8600.
