Question 1

How much does a new roof cost in Whatcom County?

Accepted Answer

For a typical Whatcom County home, plan on about $9,000–$24,000 for architectural asphalt shingles, $14,000–$45,000+ for standing-seam metal, and $18,000–$50,000+ for cedar. Our pricing is all-in — labor, materials, haul-off, and disposal — with no surprise add-ons after the old roof is down. The real number comes from a free on-site inspection. Roof size, pitch, material, and access all change it.

Question 2

Why do roofing estimates vary so much between contractors?

Accepted Answer

Three things drive it: (1) what’s actually included — a real estimate covers tear-off, deck repair, new flashing, underlayment, haul-off, and disposal, not just shingles; (2) the material and system spec, since a full manufacturer system with the longest warranty costs more than a builder-grade patch job; and (3) honest all-in pricing versus a lowball number that grows with change orders once the old roof is off. We price the whole job up front and put it in writing, so the estimate you sign is the number you pay.

Question 3

How much does it cost to remove moss and clean a roof?

Accepted Answer

Most Whatcom County roof cleanings run $400–$1,600. The price depends on roof size, pitch, how heavy the moss is, and access. That usually covers low-pressure cleaning, moss treatment, clearing the gutters, and adding zinc or copper ridge strips to slow regrowth. It costs far less than fixing the deck rot that untreated moss causes on our shaded, tree-lined roofs.

Question 4

Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On-site roof inspections and written estimates are free, anywhere in Whatcom County. Detailed real-estate or pre-purchase inspection reports — with photos and paperwork for a sale — are a flat fee. Call (360) 483-1333 to set one up.
