Roof Replacement in Capitol hill
Dependable Roof Replacement for capitol hill Homeowners
Capitol Hill is dense, layered, and always changing. Old homes sit next to new construction, and everything is exposed to Seattle’s rain, wind, and seasonal storms. At A Better Roofing Company, we’ve replaced roofs throughout Capitol Hill since 1991. We focus on asphalt shingle roof replacement for single-family homes, duplexes, and smaller multi-unit buildings. No repairs. No patchwork. Just solid roofs that hold up.
You’ll find our work around Volunteer Park, near Miller Playfield, and along the narrow residential streets that make this neighborhood what it is.
Why Capitol Hill Roofs Need Extra Care
Capitol Hill’s mix of age, elevation, and exposure means your roof needs to be built right the first time. Many homes were built before current code and sit close together with little room to spare. We show up with a plan, work clean, and finish on time.
Here’s what makes Capitol Hill roofing different:
- Tight access — small driveways, shared walls, limited staging
- Older structures — skip sheathing, past layers, unvented attics
- Height and slope — many roofs here are steep or multi-level
- Tree cover and shade — moss, needles, and moisture collect fast
The Shingles We Trust for Capitol Hill Homes
We install only architectural-grade asphalt shingles. They hold up in weather, fit the historic look of the neighborhood, and can be upgraded for homes with more exposure or unique layouts.
- Handles heavy rain, debris, and constant moisture
- Looks right on craftsman, Tudor, and post-war homes
- Limited Lifetime warranties from proven brands
- Respectful of historic details—trim, fascia, and design features stay intact
We work with CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, Pabco, and IKO. If your HOA or historic overlay has specific requirements, we can match those too.
