Roofing That Protects Your Structure

Roofing Services in Gig Harbor

Your roof leaks during heavy rain, shingles lift after windstorms, or the decking underneath has started to rot from years of moisture exposure. In Gig Harbor, where rain is frequent and humidity stays high for much of the year, roofing systems take constant wear and need materials that resist water infiltration, algae growth, and thermal expansion. A roof that's installed correctly keeps water out, protects framing and insulation, and lasts longer without needing emergency repairs every season.

Icon Consulting & Construction, Inc. provides roofing services for residential and light commercial properties, including repairs, replacements, and roof installations for new construction and remodels. The work includes removing damaged materials, inspecting and replacing decking as needed, installing underlayment and drip edge, and applying shingles or roofing panels designed for weather resistance. Whether you're dealing with an aging roof that's past its lifespan or coordinating roofing with a larger project, the process is planned to minimize exposure and complete the work efficiently.

If you're noticing leaks or planning a roof replacement in Gig Harbor, reach out to schedule a consultation before structural damage spreads.

What Happens During a Roof Replacement

The crew starts by removing old shingles, felt paper, and any damaged flashing, then inspects the roof deck for soft spots, rot, or nail pops that could compromise the new roof. In Gig Harbor, where moisture often works its way under old roofing, it's common to find sections of decking that need replacement before new materials go down.

Once the deck is solid and any repairs are made, new underlayment is rolled out to create a waterproof barrier, and drip edge is installed along eaves and rakes to direct water into gutters. Shingles or panels are then applied starting from the bottom edge and working upward, with each row overlapping to shed water effectively. You'll notice improved ventilation, tighter flashing around chimneys and vents, and a roof that no longer drips or stains ceilings during storms.

Material options depend on the building type, budget, and performance needs, and Icon Consulting & Construction, Inc. works with products suited to the region's wet climate and temperature swings. The service covers complete tear-offs, roof-overs when conditions allow, and integrated upgrades such as skylight replacement or ridge vent installation. If your roof is part of a larger remodel or new build, the roofing schedule is coordinated with framing and siding to keep the project moving without weather delays.

Most People Have Practical Questions Before Starting

Before committing to a roof replacement or repair, property owners typically want to know how long the work takes, what materials perform best, and whether the roof can be patched or needs full replacement.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced within two to four days, depending on size, pitch, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex roofs with multiple valleys and penetrations take longer.

What roofing materials work best in Gig Harbor?
Asphalt shingles with algae resistance are common for residential projects, while metal panels are often chosen for shops, barns, and commercial buildings. Both perform well in wet climates when installed with proper underlayment and ventilation.

When should a roof be replaced instead of repaired?
If more than a third of the roof shows wear, if leaks appear in multiple areas, or if the decking is compromised, replacement is usually more reliable than patching. A roof over 20 years old often has hidden damage that repairs won't solve.

Can roofing be done during the rainy season?
Yes, but scheduling requires flexibility and tarping to protect exposed areas between work days. Icon Consulting & Construction, Inc. monitors forecasts closely and stages materials to minimize delays when working in Gig Harbor's wet months.

What causes roofs to fail early?
Poor ventilation, missing or damaged flashing, and inadequate underlayment are the most common causes. Water trapped in the attic or under shingles accelerates rot and shortens the roof's lifespan significantly.
