Below are the questions Bellevue owners put to us most, answered briefly. They cover price, leaks, moss, city permits and what happens on the day of the work. Our guide pages go deeper on each subject. If your question is missing, call or text (425) 522-5354 and a real person will answer it for your own roof.
How much does a new roof cost in Bellevue?
By national figures published by HomeGuide for 2026, a roof replacement runs $5,700 to $16,000, and $5,500 to $15,400 for Washington. Those are not our quotes. Size, pitch, material and the state of the decking set your price, and we give it in writing after a free inspection.
Do I need a permit to re-roof a house in Bellevue?
Often not. The City of Bellevue requires no building permit for a house roof replacement when five or fewer 4x8 sheets of sheathing are replaced. A cedar shake conversion that adds new sheathing over the whole roof needs one. We check the rule for your address.
Should I pressure wash the moss off my roof?
No. Pressure washing strips the protective granules from asphalt shingles and can drive water under them. Moss should be loosened gently and treated with a product made for roofs.
Can you replace a roof in winter?
Yes. Bellevue winters are mild, and we work in the dry spells between rain. We open only as much roof as we can make watertight the same day.
How do I check that a roofer is registered in Washington?
Use the Verify a Contractor tool from the Washington Department of Labor & Industries. It shows registration status, workers' compensation status and any lawsuits against the contractor's bond.
Does insurance cover a tree falling on my roof?
Sudden wind and falling-tree damage is commonly covered by homeowners policies, while wear, age and moss damage are not. Your own policy decides. We can provide photos and a written scope for your claim.
Can you repair my roof or does it need replacing?
Many leaks can be repaired. We inspect the roof, show you photos of what we find and tell you honestly which makes more sense.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take 1-3 days. Larger or flat commercial roofs take longer. Weather can move the schedule.
Do you work on flat roofs?
Yes. We install and repair TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up roof systems.
Do you offer emergency leak repair?
Call us. We do our best to get a crew out quickly to stop the leak and protect the building.
