FULLY Licensed

Trustworthy Roofing is a licensed Washington roofing contractor based in Puyallup. This page covers what Tacoma homeowners should know before a roof replacement or repair: the City's permit rules, how the wet climate affects roofs, and the districts across the city.

Roof replacement and repair for Tacoma homes

Tacoma gets about 40.8 inches of rain in a typical year, and roughly three quarters of it falls between October and March, based on NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for the Tacoma #1 weather station. A roof here spends much of the year wet, so flashing, gutters, and the condition of the shingles matter as much as the roof's age.

Many Tacoma homes are older. The median year built for housing in the city is 1967, and about 64 percent of 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). Older homes can have older roof edges, gutters, and fascia boards that have been through decades of wet seasons, which is why this page lists fascia board repair and gutter work next to roof replacement.

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

Roofing services for Tacoma homeowners

  • Full Roof Replacement

    Tacoma's driest months are July and August, so many homeowners plan a replacement for summer. You can request a free quote any time of year.

    View service →

  • Roofing Repairs

    With a long wet season, stains on a ceiling or loose flashing are worth checking early, before water has time to travel.

    View service →

  • Gutter installs

    Tacoma averages about 41 inches of rain a year, and gutters and downspouts move that water away from the roof edge and siding.

    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 run along the roof edge where gutters attach, and they take the brunt of wet seasons on older homes.

    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.

What Tacoma'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

November is Tacoma's wettest month at 6.50 inches on average, and July is the driest at 0.55 inches (NOAA 1991-2020 normals, Tacoma #1 station, 40.81 inches a year in total). Roofs, gutters, and downspouts carry water for most of the year, so small leaks and clogged gutters tend to show up in the fall and winter.

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, can trap moisture and lift shingles, and that trimming nearby trees to let in sunlight is the most effective long-term fix. That is Oregon guidance, not Tacoma-specific data.

Occasional snow and wind

The nearest NOAA station with snowfall normals used for this region, Sea-Tac Airport, averages 6.3 inches of snow a year, and the Washington State Climatologist reports that Sea-Tac sees about one hour a month of gusts of 40 mph or more on average. Those are regional figures, not Tacoma measurements. Puget Sound did have two snowstorms in one week in February 2019.

Older homes and historic districts

Tacoma has four local historic special review districts (Wedge, North Slope, Old City Hall, and Union Depot/Warehouse). If your home is in one, exterior work that needs a building permit also goes through design review. The permit section below has the details and the City's contact.

Trees and storm damage

Tacoma Public Utilities says to stay at least 30 feet from a downed power line and call 911. To report a power outage, call 253-502-8602. If a branch has damaged your roof and no wires are involved, our emergency tarp service is built for that situation.

Tacoma roofing permit rules in plain words

Tacoma's permit rules for re-roofing depend on the job. The points below summarize the City's public pages as read in October 2026. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the City before you start.

  • Tear-off and replace on a house or duplex

    The City's adopted exemption (Tacoma Municipal Code 2.02.540) covers re-roofing a single-family home or duplex when the existing roof coverings are removed first, the new roofing is no heavier than 2.5 pounds per square foot, the roof framing does not change, and the building is not unreinforced masonry.

  • Adding a layer over old roofing

    The City's FAQ says adding another layer over existing roofing needs a permit and a pre-roof inspection. The online Roof Overlay (ERROOF) permit applies only to roofing over no more than one existing layer, with no structural or pitch changes.

  • Changing the roofline

    Changes to the roofline need a permit, according to the same City FAQ.

  • Historic districts

    In Tacoma's local historic districts, exterior work that needs a building permit goes through the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The City lists a residential design review fee between $175 and $500. In residential districts such as North Slope, exterior work that is exempt from a building permit is also exempt from historic review. The Historic Preservation Officer is at (253) 591-5220.

  • Who to call

    Planning and Development Services is at 747 Market Street, 3rd Floor, Tacoma, WA 98402, phone (253) 591-5030. The City lists walk-in hours of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

This is general information from public City pages, not legal or code advice. Fee amounts, 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.

Tacoma neighborhoods and districts

Tacoma is a city of distinct districts. These short descriptions come from the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma business districts site. The North End, Proctor, the Stadium District, Old Town, North Slope, and the Wedge each have their own roofing page with more detail.
