Metal Roofing in Whatcom County
Standing-seam and metal roofs built for Whatcom rain, wind, and snow.
Metal is the roof most Whatcom County homeowners should look at first. It sheds our wet Pacific Northwest winters — about 35 inches of rain a year in Bellingham, and far more up in the foothills. It fights the moss that ruins shaded, tree-lined roofs. And it stands up to the hard northeast outflow winds that funnel down the Nooksack and Fraser valleys every winter.
We install two kinds. Concealed-fastener standing seam is the long-life, premium choice. Exposed-fastener panels are a cheaper option for outbuildings, shops, and barns. For homes within a few hundred feet of saltwater — Bellingham Bay, Birch Bay, Blaine and Semiahmoo, or out toward Cherry Point — we use heavier 24-gauge panels with marine-grade Kynar 500 / PVDF coatings made for coastal exposure.
Done right, a standing-seam roof is likely the last roof your Whatcom County home will need. Expect 50+ years with little upkeep.
The local difference
Whatcom roofs take everything from Bellingham Bay salt air to foothill snow load. We spec the metal to the site — coastal-rated coatings near the water, snow retention up the Mount Baker Highway — not one builder-grade panel for every roof.
