Kirkland’s location shapes everything about roofing here. Homes in Moss Bay and Houghton catch wind coming off the water and the older houses up in Market and Norkirk have steep pitches and aging cedar.. We’ve roofed across all of it since 1996. When you need a roofer who actually knows Kirkland, we’re your crew, and your neighbors, too!
The roofing team members we employ in the field are not subcontractors but direct employees of our business. In addition, they possess the training and skills to provide you with the highest quality roof repair and roof replacement. Over the years we’ve helped tens of thousands of customers across the Eastside, and it’s why people keep calling us their roofing contractor of choice in Kirkland.
We cover all of Kirkland, ZIP codes 98033, 98034, and 98083.
North Creek Roofing has built a reputation for quality roof replacement. Life any roofing outfit worth their salt, we specialize in asphalt shingle roof replacement and also install metal roof shingles. Those are for homeowners who want something a bit longer-lasting (they last upwards of 40 to 70 years!).
We’re a licensed Washington State contractor. That means we follow all local Kirkland codes and regulations. Plus, we know the city’s permitting process and what to expect from its officials. The roofer you hire should know how to work in your city. We’ve done exactly that across the Eastside for a few decades.
Whatever the problem, (damaged or missing shingles, worn flashing and leaks) our roofing repair service has the solutions to get the job done. As an experienced shingle roofer in Kirkland, we’re adept at catching those tiny issues before they tend to turn into costly fixes, replacements, and even water damage to your home.
North Creek Roofing will check for any issues that need repairing, out-of-place items, and general information about how much life your roof has left. By conducting regular inspections, you can catch roofing problems early and avoid expensive repairs down the road. Drone inspections are available for more difficult homes with steep or homes with wood shake that can be delicate or prone to damage from walking on the roof.
Most Kirkland roofs we replace are asphalt shingle. Asphalt handles our wet winters well, it won’t break your budget, and architectural shingles look great on pretty much everything. We install it all; basic three-tab to heavier architectural lines.
Metal’s a great option, too, and it’s becoming more popular year after year. It just depends on what you’re looking for, mostly. metal roof shingles do cost more upfront. But they’re natural for shrugging off the PNW rain and end up lasting decades longer, meaning you recoup your investment over time. Asphalt shingles last only a fraction of that lifespan. If your home is your forever home, that choice makes a lot of sense. Weighing asphalt against metal? We’ll lay out the pros and cons for your house and budget. We’ll then run the whole job ourselves.
A roofer has to meet specific criteria before receiving their certification and can offer the best warranties in the industry. These warranties provide an extra layer of protection because the single manufacturer is backing the installation of your roofer. Always check the manufacturer’s website to verify their certification status.
For a standard roofing job on a Kirkland home, permitting is straightforward, and we handle all the paperwork. Oftentimes, you won’t even need a permit for the standard stuff, like roof replacements and shingle repair. But when it gets a bit more involved is when the job touches the structure itself: getting new sheathing, changing the roof pitch at all, adding skylights, or switching to metal from standard asphalt shingles. Those need a permit and approved plans under the Kirkland Municipal Code and the building code.
We’ve been helping pull Kirkland permits for decades, and we know what the Building Department well, so projects don’t stall. If you want a hands-on look, Kirkland actually lets you look up your property’s full permit history online through the city’s maps portal. It’s a great idea to look it upp and get a feel for it before any home project, roofing or otherwise.
North Creek has held a Washington State contractor’s license, bonding, and insurance under the same name since 1996. We take pride in that, and it’s worth checking before you hire anyone. An unlicensed roofer can end up voiding your manufacturer warranty and leave you out in the cold if something goes awry.
