Roofing in Friday Harbor

What island weather does to a Friday Harbor roof.

The west side of San Juan Island faces open water, so storms arrive with little to slow them down.

Wind exposureStrong gusts off Haro Strait can lift shingle edges and ridge caps. Proper fastening and starter strips keep roofing in place.
Salt airSalt speeds up corrosion on flashing, vents and fasteners. We use materials made to hold up near the water.
Island logisticsMaterials, dumpsters and crews come over on the ferry. We plan ahead so your job stays on schedule.

San Juan Island homes

From in-town homes to waterfront properties.

Homes in and around Friday Harbor range from older in-town houses to newer homes on the hills above the harbor. We tear off to the deck, replace anything soft and install a complete roofing system.

Out toward Roche Harbor, Cattle Point and the west side, homes take more wind and salt. We pay close attention to edges, ridges and flashing so the roof holds up to winter storms.

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.

“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.”

Friday Harbor roofing questions

Do you serve all of Friday Harbor?

Yes. Topside works across San Juan Island, including Friday Harbor, Roche Harbor and the west side.

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 Friday Harbor?

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.
