Roof Replacement in Fremont
Experienced Roof Replacement for Fremont Homeowners
Fremont is one of Seattle’s oldest and most distinct neighborhoods. With its mix of century-old homes, walkable streets, and ever-changing weather, your roof has to work hard—and look good doing it. At A Better Roofing Company, we’ve been handling roof replacement in Fremont and across Seattle since 1991. We focus strictly on asphalt shingle roof replacement, so whether you’re in a craftsman, duplex, or modern build, we’ve got the experience to do it right.
We’ve completed roof replacements on homes near the Troll, just off 36th, and throughout the streets that wind between Phinney Ridge and Wallingford. We know how to navigate the tight access, layered shingles, and new trim common in Fremont.
Why Fremont Roofs Require Specialized Work
Fremont’s housing is packed in. Homes are often on narrow lots with small yards, steep slopes, or unusual rooflines. Many were built before modern codes and have aging framing, exposed rafters, or multiple layers of old roofing. That’s why roof replacement in Fremont requires a different level of planning and precision.
What makes Fremont roof replacement unique:
- Small lots and alley access make jobsite setup more complex
- Older homes with original framing or skip-sheathing require special attention
- Shaded tree-lined streets create constant moss and moisture buildup
- Mix of architectural styles, including mid-century and modern infill
The Shingles We Trust for FREMONT Homes
We install architectural-grade asphalt shingles—no basic three-tab, no shortcuts. They’re strong, clean-looking, and hold up to the wet weather and dense tree cover common in Fremont.
- Withstand rain, wind, and debris from overhanging trees
- Blend with the look of early 1900s homes and contemporary additions
- Limited Lifetime warranties for long-term protection
We install products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Pabco, and IKO. If your home is part of a historical district or you need to match an existing material, we’ll help you get there.

All work got completed within the same day. Cleaned up well after the work. New roof looks great. Would definitely recommend. Dave V. Will2025-05-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Better Roofing Company did an excellent job with installation of my new roof. Old roof was torn off, a few Sheets of ASB replaced, and then new roof installed. The best part of the deal, besides the nice new look, was that all old materials were totally eliminated (cleaned up) from our property. It looked as if no one had even been there. No damage to any of our plants or flowers! I highly recommend this Company. Jessica Thompson2025-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are fantastic.
