What a roof replacement includes
A new roof is more than new shingles. Here's what the job includes.
INCLUDED
Full tear-off
We remove your existing roofing down to the deck.
Deck inspection
We check the roof deck and make repairs.
Water protection
We install underlayment and protect the areas most prone to leaks.
New flashing
We install new flashing at walls, chimneys, vents, and valleys.
Ventilation
We check your roof's ventilation and address it as needed.
Hand-nailed installation
We nail every shingle by hand.
Daily cleanup
We clean up throughout the job, not just at the end.
Final walkthrough
We go over the finished work with you before we call it done.
Why we hand-nail
Our approach
We don't use nail guns on our shingle roofs. Hand-nailing gives our installers control over the placement and depth of every nail. It's a slower method, but one we believe produces a better roof.
Materials we install
Materials
We choose Malarkey for their durable rubberized shingles and commitment to sustainability, including upcycled rubber and plastics and smog-reducing granules that help clean the air. We're a Malarkey Certified Installer.
Fun fact: An average 30-square Malarkey Vista roof incorporates roughly the equivalent of 5 tires and 3,200 plastic bags.
Prefer metal? We also install concealed-fastener standing-seam metal. See our Metal Roofing page.

FAQ
Roof replacement questions
What homeowners ask us most about roof replacement.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the materials you choose, how many layers need to come off, and whether the decking needs repair. We'll look at your roof and give you a price.
How long does a roof replacement take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your roof and the weather. We'll give you an idea of timing at your estimate and keep you updated as your start date approaches.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. Ideal Roofing is licensed, bonded, and insured, and our Washington contractor registration number is IDEALRL822LA.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Burlington, Washington, and serve homeowners in Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and Snohomish Counties. If you're not sure whether your address is in our service area, call or text us at 360-755-3377 and we'll let you know.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Common signs include curling or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, leaks or stains on ceilings, and a roof near the end of its expected life. Not every roof problem needs a replacement. We'll look at your roof and tell you what it needs.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the roof's age, how widespread the damage is, and whether the problem keeps coming back. Not every roof problem requires a replacement. We'll evaluate the issue and tell you whether a repair makes sense. When it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
What if you find hidden roof damage?
If we find rotted or damaged decking once the old roof is off, we'll show you what we found, explain what needs to be repaired, and go over the cost before we do the work.
What does your 10-year warranty cover?
Our full roof replacements are backed by a 10-year labor and workmanship warranty. If there's a problem with our installation, we stand behind it. If you have questions about the details, ask us during your estimate and we'll walk you through them.
