Signs It's Time for a Roof Replacement
Not sure if you need a full replacement or just a repair? Watch for these common signs indicating it’s likely time for a new roof:
- Your Roof’s Age: Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years. If yours is near or past this lifespan, it’s time for a professional inspection.
- Widespread Shingle Damage: Look for numerous shingles that are cracked, curling at the edges, buckled, or entirely missing.
- Significant Granule Loss: Finding a large amount of shingle granules (like coarse sand) in your gutters signals advanced wear.
- Persistent Leaks: Water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after rain, often point to a failing roof system.
- Sagging Roof Deck: Any visible drooping or sagging is a serious structural concern requiring immediate attention.
- Moss, Algae, or Dark Streaks: While sometimes manageable, extensive growth can indicate trapped moisture and shingle deterioration.
If you notice several of these signs, it’s crucial to schedule a professional assessment soon.
High-Quality Asphalt Shingles for Your Replacement
For Seattle roof replacements, we confidently recommend asphalt shingles for their proven blend of performance, value, and style. They stand up to our climate, offer diverse aesthetics, and fit most budgets. We specialize in:
Dimensional Asphalt Shingles
Popular for their durability and attractive, textured look, these laminated shingles offer robust protection and a long lifespan.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
These thicker, heavier shingles provide superior weather protection and mimic high-end materials like slate or cedar shake for a premium curb appeal.
Choosing asphalt shingles ensures your replacement roof delivers lasting beauty and value.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
As renters, we had the pleasure of working with Michael and his crew during the repair of not only a leaking roof, but also the replacement of 4 skylights. Throughout the process, everyone that came to the house was professional and understanding.
Michael was very considerate to the fact that this work was a major inconvenience to us as renters and having to live in the house while the project was being completed (our landlords would not pay for alternate housing). His management of his crew was top notch.
My extended family has had 4 roofs replaced by A Better Roofing Company in the last 6 months and they did a fantastic job. Michael and Alan were great to talk to. A Better Roofing company was recommended by another roofing company that only does flat roofs and a coworker had her roof done by them, as well as her parents’ roof, and she had nothing but positive words to say.
I don’t like 5 star reviews but anything less would be wrong. We just had our roof replaced and the experience could not have been more positive. The crew worked hard, finished in two days including our garage that needed repairs and sheathing. The roof needed more repairs than we thought so I expected the bill to be a thousand dollars more than the quote. It was only 200 more and I was thrilled. The clean-up was perfect. I didn’t find anything left behind. They even swept the lawn with magnets to get every last nail. I have already recommended them to two friends. I hope I never have to get a new roof but if I do they are the only company I will call.
Understanding Roof Replacement Costs
The cost of a roof replacement varies based on several factors. We believe in transparency and provide a detailed breakdown in our free estimates. Key factors include:
- Roof Size & Complexity: Larger or steeper roofs with more features (chimneys, skylights) cost more.
- Shingle Choice: Luxury shingles cost more than dimensional ones.
- Underlying Damage: Any necessary repairs to the roof deck will add to the cost.
- Number of Layers: Removing multiple old roof layers takes more time and labor.
- Accessibility: How easy it is for our crew and equipment to access your roof.
Roof Replacement FAQs
Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of your home, the roofing material, and the weather.
We specialize in high-quality composition shingles, architectural asphalt shingles, and designer roofing systems from top manufacturers like CertainTeed.
You don’t have to be home during the work, though we recommend being available by phone in case any questions come up.
We’ll handle most of the prep, but it’s a good idea to move cars out of the driveway and secure valuables or fragile items inside your home (roof work can cause vibration).
We accept Visa and Mastercard, and absorb the costs associated with processing the credit card fees. We stand by our Owners’ Quality Guarantee. If you trust us with your home, we want to reciprocate that trust. That is why we require no down payment and only collect once the job is completed to your satisfaction.
Yes, we are. Each employee is also on payroll – we do not subcontract or hire temporary workers. Our crews are all experienced with tear-off and installation, creating a smoother and more efficient roofing process. On top of that, a lot of the crew members are related – keeping that family theme prominent!
