Roofing in Eastsound

What the weather does to an Eastsound roof.

Southerly storms push wind straight up East Sound into the village, and the hills around town keep many roofs shaded and damp.

Funneling windWind coming up the sound can lift shingle edges and ridge caps. Proper fastening and good starter strips keep roofing down.
Rain and mossLong, wet winters let moss and algae build up, especially on shaded and north-facing roofs.
Ferry planningCrews, materials and disposal come over on the ferry. We schedule island jobs ahead so they run smoothly.

Eastsound homes and businesses

From village homes to shops on Main Street.

In and around the village, we see older homes with past roof layers and tired decking, plus small commercial buildings. We tear off to the deck, replace anything soft and install a complete roofing system.

Just outside town, toward Crow Valley and Mount Constitution, homes sit in the trees. We pay close attention to valleys, gutters and ventilation so those roofs can dry out.

What's included

Every Topside roof replacement includes:

Full tear-off to the deck

No roofing over old roofing. We remove everything so the deck can be checked.

Decking repair

Soft or rotted plywood is replaced before the new roof goes on.

Underlayment and leak barrier

Synthetic underlayment, plus ice and water leak barrier in valleys and at eaves.

New flashing

Walls, chimneys, skylights and vents get new flashing, not reused metal.

Ventilation check

Ridge and intake venting sized so the attic can dry out in our damp months.

Cleanup and walkthrough

Magnet sweep for nails, all debris hauled away, and a final review with you.

What homeowners say.

“Topside roofing recently installed a new roof for us. They did excellent work; we love it! They promptly responded to all my questions, offered a competitive price, had a hard working crew out here to do the job, picked up after themselves and overall made the process simple.”

Eastsound roofing questions

Do you serve all of Eastsound?

Yes. Topside works in Eastsound and the surrounding area, including Crow Valley and the rest of Orcas Island.

Do you do roof repairs too, or only replacements?

Both. If the roof is in good shape and the problem is in one area, a repair may be all you need. See our roof repair page.

How do island jobs work with the ferry?

We schedule crews, materials and disposal around ferry times and plan island jobs further ahead than mainland work. We will walk you through timing when we give your estimate.

How much does a new roof cost in Eastsound?

It depends on roof size, pitch, layers, material and what we find under the old roof. We give a free written estimate, and monthly payments are available through our financing partners.

What about moss on my roof?

Moss holds water against the shingles and lifts their edges. We can clean and treat a roof that still has life left, or talk through replacement if the shingles are worn out. See roof maintenance.

Is Topside local?

Yes. Topside is a family-owned roofing company based in Bellingham that has been roofing Northwest Washington since 1989.
