Cabrera Construction

Puyallup Roof Replacement Done Right

Free Estimates | Owner Operated | Financing Available

From South Hill to Downtown Puyallup and neighborhoods around the fairgrounds, Cabrera replaces aging roofs with clean, code-smart installs. We handle tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation so your new roof performs for years—backed by workmanship and manufacturer coverage.

From Tear-Off to Clean Install

We remove worn materials down to solid decking, replace soft spots, and rebuild the system correctly—underlayment, drip edge, valley/chimney/skylight flashing, and balanced ventilation—so shingles seal and shed water the way they should.

Permits & Code in Puyallup

The City of Puyallup issues over-the-counter re-roof permits when sheathing is involved and lists re-roof with sheathing as permit-required residential work. We handle the requirements for you and keep documentation on site. (The city’s permit records also call out “must provide drip edge on all roof edges.”) 

Do you actually need a full replacement?

End-of-life shingles: widespread granule loss, curls, brittle laps.

Recurring leaks: past patching isn’t holding or new issues keep appearing.

Ventilation damage: hot/cold spots, attic mildew, or spongy sheathing.

Storm/wind wear: creased or missing shingles on multiple slopes.

Old overlays: another layer hiding deck problems (we recommend tear-off).

What we install & upgrade

Decking: replace only compromised sheets for solid fastener hold.

Underlayment: modern synthetic base + ice/water membrane in valleys and other high-load areas.

Flashing: new step/counter-flashing at walls and chimneys; skylight kits; add a cricket behind wider chimneys.

Edges & drainage: new drip edge at eaves/rakes; kick-out diverters where roofs meet siding. (Drip edge is also a city condition on re-roof permits.) 

Ventilation: ridge vent + intake balancing (or equivalent) to protect shingles and sheathing.

Shingles: durable architectural asphalt (profiles/colors to fit your home).

Smart upgrades to consider​

Ventilation tune-up: ridge vent plus added intake to extend shingle and deck life.

Skylight refresh: replace aging units while the roof is open (saves labor later).

High-wind fastening: six-nail pattern and enhanced starters for exposed ridgelines.

Valley protection: full-length ice/water membrane in debris-heavy zones.

Edge & drainage details: kick-out diverters and tidy gutter tie-ins to prevent repeats.

Our roof replacement process​

1) Walk-through & photos

Show us what you’re seeing. We’ll check the roof and—if accessible—the attic for moisture trails and deck movement. You’ll get photos and a plain-English plan.

2) Clear proposal

We price the full system (tear-off, deck fixes, underlayment, flashing, ventilation) and note any “if found” items so there are no surprises.

3) Scheduling & prep

We set a start date, protect landscaping, and time materials close to install so your driveway isn’t tied up all week.

4) Tear-off, deck repair, dry-in

Old shingles off, bad decking out, then dry-in with modern underlayment so the home is protected even if weather shifts.

5) Rebuild the system

Flashing integrated correctly, shingles installed to manufacturer specs, ridge/soffit ventilation balanced, details checked.

6) Clean-up & handoff

Magnet sweep, haul-away, after-photos, care tips, and your warranty. Most Puyallup replacements finish in 1–2 days, job size and weather depending.

Puyallup roof replacement — FAQ

Do I need a permit to re-roof in Puyallup?

If sheathing replacement is part of the re-roof, the City of Puyallup lists that as permit-required (typically issued over the counter). We manage the process and keep the permit on site. 

Is drip edge required?

Yes—Puyallup re-roof permits explicitly call for drip edge on all roof edges; we include it as part of a correct system. 

How long does a replacement take?

Most homes are 1–2 days. Complex roofs or sheathing repairs can add time—we’ll outline this upfront.

Tear-off or overlay?

We strongly prefer tear-off so we can fix hidden decking issues and integrate flashing/underlayment correctly.

Can you install in winter?

Yes—by working in dry windows, staging small sections, and using proper dry-in. We only proceed when conditions allow a quality install.

What about warranties?

You’ll receive our workmanship coverage and shingle manufacturer warranties per the product installed—we’ll review details with your quote.
