Older homes under big trees in Tacoma's North End
Proctor sits in Tacoma's North End, south of Puget Creek Natural Area and northwest of the University of Puget Sound. The City of Tacoma's Proctor Neighborhood Plan, adopted by the City Council in February 2024, describes the neighborhood as bounded by N Stevens Street on the west and N Union Avenue on the east, with the Adams and Cushman Substations at its southern end. The plan counts 2,641 housing units in the neighborhood, citing 2021 Census figures.
The same plan says the most intensive period of Proctor's development ran from about 1910 to 1940, after a streetcar line and the 1900 sale of the Second School Land Addition opened the area to houses. Many roofs here sit on homes that are close to a century old, under some of the heaviest tree cover in the city. Trustworthy Roofing, a licensed and insured family crew working out of 5506 112th Avenue East in Puyallup, writes each Proctor scope after looking at the roof itself. We are a CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, and estimates are free.
Why Proctor homeowners call Trustworthy Roofing
Older homes, inspected first
On a house built in the early 1900s, we check the deck, flashing, chimney, and roof edge before writing a scope, and the proposal lists what we found.
Trees and gutters taken seriously
The City's plan puts residential tree canopy in Proctor at up to 40 percent. Needles and leaves fill valleys and gutters, so we look at drainage as part of every estimate.
Straight answers on permits and history
We read the City's re-roof rules with you, and if your house is listed on a historic register, we point you to the City's Historic Preservation Officer instead of guessing.
Licensed, insured, 100% local
A family business with 10+ years of experience, a CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, and a shop in Puyallup. Estimates are free and written by the people who will be on your roof.
