FAQ

How long it takes to replace a roof will depend on various factors, but in general, smaller and medium-sized homes usually take 1-3 days to re-roof, while larger homes may require up to a week or more of work. Our roofers always strive to get started on a job right away, though depending on the time of year and scheduling, we may need to wait a week or so before we begin the service process.

The three most common types of roofing materials are composite, metal, and PVC. While roughly 90% of all roofs are made of these reliable materials, Pro Roofing NW offers other quality roofing systems as well, including cedar shake roofing.

The cost of roof replacement will depend on various factors, including the size of your roof, its pitch (i.e. what angle it is on,) and what materials you are using. Taking all these factors into account, the overall cost can range anywhere between $5,000 and $25,000. It's important to note that while the cost to replace a roof may seem high, it's a necessary investment for the safety and structural integrity of your property.

There are several common signs that indicate your roof needs to be replaced, the most common of which is a roof leak. A leak not only suggests that there is a hole somewhere on your roof, but it may also signify that there is additional damage to your roof deck and the drywall in your home. Sagging roofs are also a major sign it’s time for a replacement, as are shingles that are curling, missing, or just worn down. Sediment in your gutters, indicating that your shingles are losing granules, is another important sign that you may need to consider roof replacement.

In wetter climates, roofing systems may need to be replaced sooner than in areas where the weather is more temperate. Seattle gets an average of 39 inches of rain per year, while greater King County receives roughly 46 inches of rainfall every year, compared to the national average of 38 inches. So, in general, you can expect to replace roofing systems in the larger Seattle area every 17-22 years.
