WALLINGFORD Roof Replacement Specialists Since 1991
Family-owned. Licensed. Bonded. Insured.
Wallingford isn’t flashy, but it’s full of life. Tree-lined streets. Classic craftsman homes. Backyards with raised garden beds and worn-out roofs that have done their job for the last 30 years.
When it’s time to replace yours, you want someone who doesn’t just show up and start hammering—you want a crew who understands the neighborhood, the architecture, and what it takes to keep a Seattle home dry year-round.
At A Better Roofing Company, we’ve been completing roof replacements in Wallingford and surrounding Seattle neighborhoods since 1991. We focus strictly on asphalt shingle roof replacement—no repairs, no side services, just experienced, thoughtful roofing done the right way.
Roofing in Wallingford: What Makes It Unique
Homes in Wallingford are close together. Many were built in the early 1900s, with original trim, steep pitches, and layers of old roofing hidden underneath. Access is tight, trees are tall, and you’re never far from an alley or a neighbor’s window.
It’s not a job for the lowest bidder. It’s a job for someone who’s done it before.
Why Wallingford roofs need extra attention:
- Aging housing stock – many homes are on their second or third roof
- Multiple layers – past re-roofs often hide wood shake or skip-sheathing underneath
- Tight driveways and shared access – materials, debris, and crew movement must be managed carefully
- North-facing shade – moss and moisture shorten the lifespan of unvented or poorly installed systems
We’ve replaced hundreds of roofs in this part of town. We know how to do it safely, cleanly, and without damaging what makes your home special.

WALLINGFORD Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take in Wallingford?
Most Wallingford roof replacements take one to three days. For older homes or those with multiple layers, we may build in an extra day to remove and replace old decking, install new ventilation, and leave the site spotless.
Can you match the look of my existing roof?
We do our best to match your existing roof using current shingle lines. While we can’t guarantee an exact color match—especially if the previous roof is weathered—we’ll walk you through the closest modern equivalents and show samples before anything is installed.

WillTrustindex 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.Posted on Jessica ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are fantastic.
