That stress when dark clouds roll in and you’re wondering if this is the storm that finally finds the weak spot in your roof? You’re done with that.
When we finish your roof, you’ll have a system built specifically for Federal Way’s constant rain and moisture. No more checking the ceiling after every downpour. No more strategically placed buckets or towels. No more wondering if water is slowly damaging your insulation and framing where you can’t see it.
You get a roof installed correctly with proper flashing, ventilation designed for our humid climate, and materials that handle 40+ inches of annual rainfall without breaking down. We’ve worked on hundreds of homes around Twin Lakes, Steel Lake, and the Dash Point area. We know exactly what Federal Way weather does to roofs and how to build them to last.
That’s the difference between a roof that just looks good and one that actually protects your home for the next 20-25 years.
Sea Renovation launched in 2023 serving the Seattle area, and we’ve built our reputation on one simple principle: show up, do the work right, and stand behind it. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State because that’s not optional when you’re working on someone’s biggest investment.
We focus on what Federal Way homeowners actually need: reliable roofing work without the drama. No high-pressure sales tactics. No disappearing after we cash your check. No cutting corners on materials or installation. We give you a timeline and stick to it. We quote a price and that’s what you pay.
Our team has handled everything from emergency leak repairs during Pacific Northwest storms to complete tear-offs and replacements on homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that are hitting the end of their original roof lifespan. We offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in taking care of the people who serve our community. Call us for specific pricing on your project.
We start with a real inspection. That means getting on your roof and checking every section, not just glancing from the ground. We look at shingle condition, flashing around chimneys and vents, decking underneath, ventilation systems, and how water drains off your roof. You’ll know exactly what needs fixing and what can wait.
Then you get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, permit costs, and disposal fees. No vague line items or surprise charges later. We explain what materials we’re using and why they work for Federal Way’s climate. If we find rotted decking or other issues during tear-off, we call you before proceeding with repairs over a certain amount. You’re never surprised by the final bill.
Once you approve the work, we handle all King County permit applications and schedule the installation. Most Federal Way homes take 2-3 days for complete replacement. We protect your property with tarps, work efficiently, and do a thorough cleanup every evening including magnetic sweeps for nails. When we’re done, you get warranty documentation and our contact information for any future questions.

We handle full roof replacements when your current system is past its useful life. Most homes in the S 320th Street corridor and around The Commons were built in the 1970s through 1990s, which means many original roofs are now 30-50 years old. We tear off old materials, inspect and repair decking as needed, install proper underlayment and ventilation, and put on new shingles designed to handle our wet climate. Everything is done to code with proper permits.
For repairs, we fix active leaks, replace damaged sections, repair or replace flashing, address moss and algae damage, and handle emergency situations when storms cause immediate problems. Federal Way’s combination of heavy rain, moss growth from humidity, and occasional windstorms creates specific wear patterns we see constantly. We know how to identify the actual problem, not just patch symptoms.
Our services include:
We use materials from trusted manufacturers that offer solid warranties and perform well in Pacific Northwest conditions. You’re not getting the cheapest option, you’re getting what actually lasts in our climate.
Most roof replacements in Federal Way run between $10,000 and $16,000 for a typical single-family home. The range depends on your roof’s size, complexity, material choice, and how much repair work we find underneath the old shingles once we tear them off.
A straightforward ranch-style home with simple rooflines costs less than a two-story house with multiple valleys, dormers, and steep pitch. Architectural shingles are the most common choice here and offer good value. Premium materials like metal roofing cost more upfront but last 40-50 years versus 20-25 for asphalt.
We always provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your specific roof. The estimate breaks down materials, labor, King County permit fees, and disposal costs so you see exactly where your money goes. No hidden charges or surprise bills at the end.
Most residential roof replacements in Federal Way take 2-3 days for the actual installation work. A typical single-story home under 2,000 square feet usually gets completed in two days. Larger homes or more complex roofs with multiple levels and angles might take 3-4 days.
Weather is the main variable. We won’t work in heavy rain because it compromises installation quality and safety. If rain delays us, we completely tarp your roof to protect your home until conditions improve. Federal Way gets rain year-round, so we plan around forecasts and work efficiently during dry windows.
From your first call to project completion, expect 2-3 weeks total. That includes scheduling the initial inspection, getting your estimate, obtaining King County permits (typically 5-7 business days), and scheduling the installation crew. We keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly what to expect.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice in Federal Way because they handle our wet climate well and offer good value. They shed water effectively, last 20-25 years with proper maintenance, and cost significantly less than premium options. Look for shingles with algae-resistant granules since our humidity promotes moss and algae growth.
Metal roofing is becoming more common here because it resists moss growth naturally and sheds water faster than shingles. Metal costs more initially but can last 40-50 years with minimal maintenance. It’s especially good for homes with low-slope areas where water tends to sit, which is common in Federal Way’s older housing stock.
Whatever material you choose, proper installation and ventilation matter more than the specific brand. Federal Way’s constant moisture means your attic needs adequate airflow to prevent condensation and rot. We install ventilation systems designed specifically for Pacific Northwest humidity levels, not generic solutions.
Yes, most roof replacements in Federal Way require building permits through the city’s Community Development Department. Full tear-offs and replacements definitely need permits. Minor repairs under 500 square feet on single-family homes typically don’t require permits, but anything structural or involving significant work does.
Permit costs usually run $200-$500 depending on your project’s scope and home value. We handle all permit applications, paperwork, and scheduling required inspections as part of our service. You don’t need to figure out King County’s requirements or deal with the bureaucracy yourself.
Permits protect you by ensuring work meets current building codes for wind resistance, fire safety, and structural integrity. They also matter for insurance coverage and home resale value. Unpermitted work can create serious problems when you try to sell or file insurance claims later. We always pull proper permits and schedule inspections.
Start by verifying the contractor is actually licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State. You can check license status through the Department of Labor and Industries website. Make sure they carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage so you’re protected if someone gets injured on your property.
Get detailed written estimates from at least three contractors. The estimate should break down materials, labor, permits, and disposal costs with specific line items. Be suspicious of quotes that are significantly lower than others or vague about what’s included. Cheap bids often mean corners will be cut on materials or installation quality.
Check references and online reviews, but focus on recent projects in Federal Way specifically. A contractor experienced with Pacific Northwest climate challenges will know about moss prevention, proper ventilation for humidity, and how to handle our frequent rain during installation. Ask how they handle weather delays and what protection they provide if rain interrupts the project.
Homeowners insurance typically covers roof damage from sudden events like windstorms, falling trees, or hail. It doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or aging. If a Pacific Northwest windstorm rips off shingles or a tree branch punctures your roof during a storm, insurance usually covers repairs or replacement minus your deductible.
The key is documenting damage immediately with photos and filing your claim promptly. Insurance companies want to see clear evidence that specific storm damage occurred, not just general deterioration. We can meet with your insurance adjuster to provide professional assessment of storm damage versus pre-existing wear.
Be aware that insurance companies increasingly refuse to renew policies on homes with roofs over 20-25 years old, or they’ll only offer actual cash value coverage that deducts depreciation. If your roof is approaching that age, proactive replacement before insurance issues arise is often the smart move. We help Federal Way homeowners navigate insurance claims and understand what their policies actually cover.
