Roof Replacement in GREEN LAKE
Experienced Roof Replacement for Green Lake Homeowners
Green Lake is one of Seattle’s most walkable, tree-filled neighborhoods—lined with craftsman homes, bungalows, and remodels that have seen more than a century of Northwest weather. At A Better Roofing Company, we’ve been completing roof replacements in Green Lake since 1991. Our focus is asphalt shingle roof replacement, and nothing else. We work on older homes, new builds, and everything in between—with clean installs, skilled crews, and a reputation built over decades.
We’ve replaced roofs on homes along Woodlawn Ave, near Bagley Elementary, and throughout the quiet residential streets that surround the lake itself.
Why Roof Replacement in Green Lake Requires Experience
Green Lake homes are often older, closely spaced, and surrounded by tall trees. Roofs here take a beating—especially on shaded lots where moss builds up fast. Add in steep pitches, tight driveways, and layers of prior repairs, and it’s easy to see why roof replacement in Green Lake requires precision and planning.
What makes Green Lake roofing different:
- Many homes were built between 1900 and 1950 and need updated decking or venting during roof replacement
- Tree-lined streets mean more debris, more shade, and shorter roof lifespans
- Small lots with limited access require careful staging and daily cleanup
- Remodels and additions create complex rooflines with skylights, dormers, or tie-ins
Our Recommended Asphalt Shingles for GREEN LAKE Homes
We use architectural-grade asphalt shingles for all Green Lake roof replacement projects. These shingles offer the right balance of durability, curb appeal, and compatibility with both historic and updated homes.
- Handles rain, wind and freeze-thaw cycles
- Matches the look of cedar shake and slate—ideal for Green Lake’s craftsman and Tudor homes
- Backed by Limited Lifetime warranties
We work with top manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Pabco, and IKO. If your home has a prior roof style you want to match, we’ll help you choose the right shingle line for your Green Lake roof.
