Roof Replacement in Bellingham
Certified Installation Across Four Shingle Manufacturers, Serving Whatcom & Skagit Counties Since 1990
When your roof has reached the end of its service life, the contractor you choose determines both the quality of the installation and the materials available to you. At Skagit Roofing LLC, we’re factory-certified to install shingles from Malarkey, Pabco, CertainTeed, and IKO, which means you choose the product that fits your home rather than working around a single-manufacturer limitation. Since 1990, we’ve helped more than 7,500 homeowners across Whatcom, Skagit, and Northern Snohomish Counties with roof replacement and installation.
Our team provides a direct repair-or-replace recommendation at every roof inspection, so you go into the project with a clear picture of what your roof actually needs.

Signs Your Bellingham Home Needs a New Roof
Asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 20 and 25 years. In the Pacific Northwest, consistent rainfall, wind, and moisture can shorten that timeline by feeding moss and algae growth that breaks down shingle surfaces faster than age alone. If your roof is approaching that range, an inspection can tell you whether repairs can extend its life or whether replacement is the more cost-effective path.
Beyond age, these conditions point toward replacement rather than repair:
- Missing or bare shingles that expose the underlayment or decking to moisture
- Water stains or active leaks inside the home, signaling compromised roofing integrity
- Sagging sections or pooling water that suggest underlying rot in the decking
- Moss or fungus growth covering significant portions of the surface
- Storm damage from wind or falling debris that makes repeated repair less practical than a full replacement
- An upcoming home sale where an aging roof affects buyer confidence or market value
Roofing Materials for Your Replacement
Our factory certifications with Malarkey, Pabco, CertainTeed, and IKO give you a broader material selection than many roofing contractors can offer. Each manufacturer produces asphalt shingle and composite roofing lines at different price points, warranty levels, and aesthetic profiles. Regional rainfall and wind place ongoing stress on roofing seams and fasteners, so material choice isn’t just cosmetic. During your consultation, we can walk through the options that make sense for your home’s architecture, your budget, and the performance demands of the local climate, so you can choose a roof suited to its intended lifespan.
What Happens During a Roof Replacement
Our process starts with a thorough consultation and assessment. We inspect the existing roof, evaluate the condition of the wood decking beneath it, and produce a detailed proposal before any work begins. If the decking has deteriorated or rotting sections, we replace those before laying new materials.
The installation sequence covers every layer of the roofing system:
- Drip edge along the eaves and rakes to prevent water from working under the shingles
- Underlayment across the entire deck surface as a secondary moisture barrier
- Shingle installation using the certified manufacturer product you selected
- Full site cleanup when the crew finishes, including removal of old roofing materials
New roofs carry two distinct warranties: a manufacturer material warranty covering the shingles themselves, and a contractor-backed workmanship warranty covering the installation. We can review both with you so you understand what each covers and what maintenance requirements apply. Regarding permits, the City of Bellingham generally requires a building permit for roof replacements, with an exception for non-structural, like-for-like reroofs on single-family homes and duplexes. We can confirm what applies to your project during the proposal stage.
The Team Behind the Work
Skagit Roofing LLC was founded by Jim Hjelt, an experienced roofing professional who built the company on integrity and craftsmanship.

We serve homes throughout Whatcom, Skagit, and Northern Snohomish Counties, including Bellingham, Mount Vernon, and Oak Harbor, and every project gets the same attention to schedule and budget regardless of size.
