You shouldn’t have to move buckets around your living room every time heavy rain hits Kent. When your roof is properly installed with the right materials for Pacific Northwest weather, you stop worrying about water damage and start trusting your home’s protection.
Homes in the Green River Valley face constant moisture exposure. That means moss growth, algae buildup, and shingles that deteriorate faster than they would in drier climates. A properly maintained roof handles these challenges without becoming your weekend project.
With Sea Renovation’s roofing services, you get a roof that’s built for Washington’s climate. The right underlayment, proper flashing around chimneys and vents, and materials that resist moss growth. You’re not just fixing today’s leak—you’re preventing next year’s problems.
That’s what peace of mind looks like: knowing your roof can handle whatever the Pacific Northwest throws at it.
Sea Renovation has served the Seattle area since 2023. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured—which means you’re protected throughout the entire project, not just when things go right.
We focus on residential roofing for homeowners in East Hill, West Hill, and throughout Kent’s valley neighborhoods. Last month alone, we completed seven roof replacements in King County, most of them on homes built in the 1980s and 1990s where original roofs had reached the end of their lifespan.
What sets our work apart is straightforward communication. We explain what needs fixing, what can wait, and why certain materials perform better in Kent’s wet climate. No pressure tactics. No inflated quotes to create room for fake discounts.
We offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in supporting the people who serve our community. Every project comes with a warranty that actually means something—we’re here if issues come up.
We start with a thorough roof inspection. That means getting up on your roof to check shingle condition, flashing integrity, and any signs of water damage or structural issues. You’ll get photos of problem areas and a detailed explanation of what we found—not a sales pitch, just facts.
Next comes the estimate. We break down material costs, labor, permit fees, and disposal charges. If we find damaged decking during tear-off, we’ll show you the issue and explain the additional cost before proceeding. No surprise charges.
Once you approve the work, we handle King County permit requirements and schedule the project around weather forecasts. Pacific Northwest rain means we sometimes need flexibility—we won’t start tear-off if heavy rain is coming the next day.
Installation follows manufacturer specifications for our climate. Proper underlayment, correct nail placement, adequate ventilation. We protect your property with tarps and magnetic sweeps for nail cleanup. Most Kent homes take two to four days for complete replacement, depending on size and complexity. When we’re done, you’ll walk the property with us to confirm everything meets your standards.

Kent’s location in the Green River Valley creates specific roofing challenges. Homes on the valley floor face higher moisture exposure than hillside properties on East Hill or West Hill. That moisture accelerates moss growth, particularly on north-facing slopes where sunlight is limited.
Moss isn’t just cosmetic. It lifts shingles, traps water against your roof, and causes premature deterioration. Left untreated, moss growth can cut years off your roof’s lifespan. We address moss issues as part of every roof replacement and can recommend preventive treatments for existing roofs.
Most Kent homes built in the 1970s through 1990s are hitting the 30-to-50-year mark. If your home falls in that range and still has its original roof—or even its first replacement—you’re likely due for an inspection. Composition shingles typically last 20 to 25 years in our climate, sometimes less with heavy moss exposure.
We use materials designed for Pacific Northwest conditions: algae-resistant shingles with proper copper granules, high-quality underlayment that handles moisture, and flashing systems that prevent water intrusion around chimneys and skylights. The right materials make the difference between a roof that lasts and one that becomes a recurring problem.
Roof replacement costs in Kent typically range from $11,300 to $16,250 for an average-sized home between 1,700 and 2,500 square feet. The final price depends on your roof’s size, complexity, and the materials you choose.
Factors that affect cost include the number of layers we need to remove, whether your roof has multiple levels or valleys, the condition of your decking, and permit fees. Homes on East Hill or West Hill with steeper pitches require additional safety equipment and labor time.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material costs, labor, disposal fees, and permit charges. If we discover damaged decking during tear-off, we’ll show you the issue and explain the cost before proceeding. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start work.
Asphalt composition shingles and metal roofing perform best in Kent’s wet climate. Composition shingles with algae-resistant granules handle our constant rain well when installed with quality underlayment. They’re cost-effective and typically last 20 to 25 years in Pacific Northwest conditions.
Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 40 to 50 years or longer. It sheds water exceptionally well and resists moss growth—a major advantage in the Green River Valley where moisture is constant. Metal roofing also handles temperature fluctuations better than composition shingles.
We don’t recommend cedar shake for Kent homes unless you’re committed to regular maintenance. Cedar requires treatment to prevent moss and rot in our climate. The right material depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay in your home, and your tolerance for ongoing maintenance.
Most residential roof replacements in Kent take two to four days, depending on your home’s size and roof complexity. A straightforward 2,000-square-foot home with a simple gable roof typically takes two days. Homes with multiple levels, dormers, or skylights take three to four days.
Weather affects the timeline significantly. We monitor forecasts closely and won’t start tear-off if heavy rain is expected within 24 hours. Light drizzle doesn’t stop work, but safety and protecting your home come first.
The process includes one day for tear-off and disposal, one to two days for installation, and final cleanup. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated if weather causes delays. King County permit approval adds a few days to the overall project timeline before we can start work.
Yes, King County requires building permits for roof replacement in Kent. Permits ensure the work meets current building codes for structural integrity, fire safety, and energy efficiency. The permit process typically takes three to five business days for approval.
We handle the entire permit process for you—application, fee payment, and scheduling required inspections. Permit costs are included in our estimates so there are no surprises. The county inspector will visit during or after installation to verify the work meets code requirements.
Working without permits creates serious problems if you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Some contractors suggest skipping permits to save money, but that’s a risk you shouldn’t take. Proper permits protect your investment and ensure the work is done correctly.
Age is the first indicator. Composition shingle roofs in Kent typically last 20 to 25 years. If your roof is approaching or past that age, replacement is likely more cost-effective than ongoing repairs, even if current damage seems minor.
Look for curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in gutters, dark streaks from algae growth, or visible sagging. Multiple leaks in different areas usually indicate widespread deterioration rather than isolated damage. One or two small leaks might only need repair if your roof is relatively young.
We provide honest assessments during inspections. If repairs will solve your problem and extend your roof’s life by several years, we’ll recommend that option. If your roof has widespread issues or is near the end of its lifespan, replacement makes more financial sense than pouring money into temporary fixes.
We give you honest assessments instead of pushing the most expensive option. If your roof needs repairs rather than replacement, we’ll tell you that—even though it means less revenue for us. That approach builds trust and brings us repeat customers and referrals.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which protects you throughout the project. We handle all King County permit requirements and provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees. Our warranties are straightforward and enforceable.
We also offer military and first responder discounts as our way of supporting people who serve the community. Since starting in 2023, we’ve built our reputation on reliable service and quality workmanship. We’re not the biggest roofing company in Kent, but we show up when we say we will and stand behind our work.
