Metal Roofing · Mount Vernon, WA · Skagit County
Moss is the death of asphalt shingles in Mount Vernon's shade — metal sheds it along with the rain. We install standing seam and metal panel systems, coordinated with your siding so the flashing details actually line up. Metal only: we don't chase shingle work.

Mount Vernon roofs fight two enemies: moss and wind. Shaded hillside lots grow moss on asphalt shingles fast enough to halve their service life, and southwesterly storms work on every fastener and seam. Metal answers both — a smooth surface moss can't root in, and concealed-fastener systems engineered for coastal wind zones.
The install is where a 50-year roof is won or lost: underlayment lapped for wind-driven rain, valleys and penetrations flashed in matching metal, and panels allowed to expand and contract through Mount Vernon's freeze-thaw swings without stressing a single fastener.
We're an exterior contractor first — when the roof and siding are planned together, the wall-to-roof flashing details integrate instead of colliding, and one crew owns the whole envelope. To be direct about scope: we install metal roofing only — no asphalt shingle roofs.
The premium system: vertical panels with concealed fasteners locked at raised seams, so no screw head ever faces the weather. On Mount Vernon homes it's the configuration we recommend for full replacements — clean modern lines on view homes, maximum wind resistance on exposed lots, and nothing for water to find as the roof ages.
Exposed-fastener panels remain an honest budget option for outbuildings and low-visibility roofs — we quote both and tell you where each belongs.
Sometimes, honestly, yes. Code allows metal over a single existing shingle layer when the deck underneath is sound, and it saves tear-off cost and landfill weight. The catch is the word sound — over moss-damaged shingles hiding soft decking, an overlay locks the problem in.
We probe the deck at your estimate and quote overlay and tear-off as separate line items where overlay is viable — the decision is yours, made with the facts on the table.
No good-better-best games — every project gets the full scope, spelled out line by line in your bid.
If our installation fails, we come back and make it right. The warranty terms are spelled out in your bid — ask us for the current details.
