Turrets, dormers, and tall chimneys above Commencement Bay
The Stadium District is one of Tacoma's earliest residential neighborhoods. The City of Tacoma describes the Stadium/Seminary Historic District as tree-lined avenues between North I Street and the shoreline, and between First Street and North 10th Street, with views of Puget Sound. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977. The 1977 nomination counts nearly 400 buildings, mostly two and three story homes built between 1888 and 1930 on a sloping bluff over Commencement Bay, and names Queen Anne and Colonial Revival as the dominant styles.
That same nomination describes the rooflines in detail: hipped and double-pitched roofs broken up by smaller roof forms and dormers, and on the grander houses corner towers, turrets, and compound or flare-top chimneys. Every one of those is a valley, a flashing, or a penetration that has to be right. A Stadium District reroof is planned house by house, and Trustworthy Roofing, a licensed and insured family crew working out of 5506 112th Avenue East in Puyallup, writes the scope after a look at the roof itself. We are a CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, and estimates are free.
Why Stadium District homeowners call Trustworthy Roofing
Complex rooflines, scoped in detail
Dormers, bays, turrets, and tall chimneys mean more flashing points than a plain gable. We look at valleys, dormer cheeks, chimney flashing, and pipe boots before writing a scope, and the proposal lists what we found.
Slope, alleys, and access planned up front
The 1977 nomination says the district drops about 300 feet over 3,000 feet toward the bay and describes 20 foot alleys behind the blocks. Grade changes, alley access, and close neighbors decide where a trailer and materials can sit, so we work that out with you before the first day.
Honest about the historic rules
The City says listing on the National Register does not restrict private owners apart from demolition review. We point you to the City's Historic Preservation Officer to confirm your own address, and we do not guess about local review districts.
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.
