Metal Roofing in Ferndale
Standing-seam and metal roofs built for Whatcom rain, wind, and snow. Serving Ferndale, Custer, Cherry Point, Sandy Point.
Glacier Roofing provides metal roofing for homes across Ferndale, from Ferndale, Custer, Cherry Point to Sandy Point. Ferndale and the flats out toward Cherry Point and Sandy Point sit wide open to weather off the Strait of Georgia — more wind and salt exposure than homes tucked into town.
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.
Why metal roofing matters in Ferndale
Open exposure toward Cherry Point and Sandy Point drives wind uplift on ridges and rakes, plus salt air near the water — we detail edges and fasteners for it. 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.
What our Ferndale metal roofing includes
- Standing seam (incl. snap-lock), corrugated & exposed-fastener panels
- Steel, aluminum, galvanized, zinc & stone-coated steel options
- 24-gauge, marine-grade Kynar 500 coatings for waterfront homes
- Metal shingles & metal roofs that look like shingles or shake
- Snow guards, ridge venting, wind-rated clips & matching flashing
Ferndale price range
$14,000–$45,000+
Standing-seam metal on a typical Whatcom County home. Waterfront salt-zone Kynar 500 coatings and heavier gauge cost more — near the top of the range.
Estimate for a typical Ferndale home — not a quote. Free on-site inspection gives your real number.
Real Ferndale roofing questions
“It rains half the year here. How do you re-roof my place in Ferndale without leaving the deck open to the weather, and how far out are you scheduling?”
We plan around exactly that. We watch the forecast and tear off only what we can dry-in the same day, so your deck is never sitting open to the rain. Summer books up fastest, so the move is to lock a free inspection now and get on the calendar. Call and we'll give you the current lead time.
“My place sits out toward Sandy Point wide open to the water and the wind just hammers the ridge and the rake edges. How do you keep a roof from lifting out here?”
Exposed, open sites need a tighter fastening schedule and proper edge-metal detailing — that's where uplift starts. On metal we increase clip density at the perimeter and ridge; on shingles we hand-seal the perimeter courses and use a higher wind-rated product. Out on the flats toward Cherry Point and Sandy Point it's a detailing problem, and it's exactly the kind of exposure we build for.
