Local Roofers For Ballard Roofs
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
Asphalt Shingles For Ballard HOmes
At A Better Roofing Company, we only use architectural asphalt shingles. These types of shingles are ideal for Ballard homes as they fit the style of the neighborhood and provide the durability to withstand the elements.
- Hold up to wind, rain and moss
- Have a popular cedar shake look, but without the maintenance
- Limited Lifetime warranties because we stand behind the product
We only use the best of the best asphalt products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO and Pabco. We know these products work well in the Ballard neighborhood.
