Roof Replacement in Tacoma, WA

Free Estimates | Owner Operated | Financing Available

From the North End and Proctor to Stadium District, South Tacoma, and the Eastside, 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, repair soft spots, and rebuild the system the right way, underlayment, drip edge, valley/chimney/skylight flashing, and balanced ventilation—so shingles seal and shed water like they should.

Roofing Permits & Code

Re-roof rules in Tacoma can vary (overlay vs. tear-off, roofline changes). We follow city guidance and handle requirements as needed, so you don’t have to.

Do you actually need a full replacement?

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

Multiple recurring leaks: past repairs aren’t holding or new problems keep appearing.

Ventilation damage: hot/cold spots, mildew in attic, sagging sheathing.

Storm/wind issues: creased or missing shingles across multiple slopes.

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

What we install & upgrade

Decking: replace only compromised sheets for solid fastener hold.

Underlayment: 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 wide chimneys.

Edges: new drip edge at eaves/rakes; kick-out diverters where roofs meet siding.

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

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

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, drip edge, and tidy gutter tie-ins to prevent repeats.

Our roof replacement process

1. Walk-through & photos

Show us the trouble areas. We’ll check the roof and—if accessible—the attic for moisture trails and deck movement. You’ll see 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 deliver materials close to install day to reduce driveway time.

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 Tacoma replacements finish in 1–2 days depending on size and weather.

FAQ Tacoma roof replacement

Do I need a permit for re-roofing in Tacoma?

If you’re removing and replacing with the same roofing type, the city says no permit is needed. If you’re adding a new layer (overlay), a pre-roof inspection and permit are required; roofline changes require a permit as well. We follow current city guidance and handle requirements as needed.

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. Overlays often cost more later.

Can you install in winter?

Yes—by working in dry windows, staging small sections, and using proper dry-in. We’ll 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.

Which shingles do you recommend?

Durable architectural asphalt in profiles/colors that fit Tacoma’s neighborhoods. We’ll show options and explain maintenance differences.
