Roof Replacement in BALLARD
Dependable Roof Replacement for BALLARD Homeowners
Ballard’s homes are as varied as its history. From early 1900s craftsman houses to modern townhomes, every roof in this neighborhood faces the same Northwest weather. At A Better Roofing Company, we’ve been replacing roofs across Seattle since 1991. Our work in Ballard focuses on asphalt shingle roof replacement—nothing else—so we know exactly what it takes to get the job done right on older homes and new builds alike.
You’ve probably seen our crews working just off 24th Ave NW or near Loyal Heights Elementary. We’re local. We’re steady. And we don’t cut corners.
Why Ballard Roofs Need Local Experience
Ballard gets a full dose of what Seattle weather brings—wind off the Sound, salty air, tree debris, and constant rain. Some roofs need structural upgrades before shingle installation. Others require careful flashing and tie-ins with existing features like brick chimneys or skylights.
Here’s what makes Ballard roofing different:
- Salt air from Shilshole Bay adds wear to exposed materials
- Many homes were built before modern building codes and need retrofitting
- Tall trees drop moss, needles, and branches that clog gutters and wear down shingles
- Small lots and tight driveways require clean, fast, respectful work
Shingles We Recommend for Ballard Homes
We install architectural asphalt shingles. No three-tab, no shortcuts. These shingles work well on Ballard homes because they’re strong, look sharp, and blend with the neighborhood’s character.
- Hold up to wind, rain, and moss buildup
- Match the look of cedar shake without the upkeep
- Limited Lifetime warranties from manufacturers who stand behind their products
- Optional upgrades like ridge venting, chimney flashing, and impact-resistant shingles
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Pabco. We know what performs well in Seattle. We’ve installed it hundreds of times.

Roofing FAQs
How long will it take to replace my roof in Ballard
Most jobs take one to three days. Larger homes or complex structures might take a third day. We don’t rush. We do it right.
Do you work on older homes in Ballard?
Yes. Many of the homes we replace roofs on in Ballard were built before 1950. We’re experienced with older decking and multiple layers of past roofing. We also handle chimney flashing as part of the roof replacement, but we don’t do structural framing or chimney repair.
