The Unique Challenges of Bellingham's Climate
If you've lived in Bellingham for any length of time, you know that our weather can be tough on homes. We receive well over 30 inches of rain annually, and that moisture doesn't just disappear—it creates the perfect environment for moss, algae, and lichen to take hold on roof surfaces. Homes in neighborhoods like Fairhaven, Columbia, and the Lettered Streets often show visible moss growth within just a few years of installation, especially on north-facing roof planes that receive less direct sunlight.
Wind is another major factor. Coastal storms and the "gap winds" that funnel through the Fraser River valley can generate powerful gusts that lift shingles, damage flashing, and send debris flying onto roofs. These conditions make regular maintenance and quality installation absolutely critical for long-term roof performance.
How to Know When Your Roof Needs Attention
Many homeowners wait until they see water stains on their ceiling before calling a roofer, but by that point, damage may have already spread to insulation, framing, and even interior finishes. Being proactive can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Curling, cracked, or missing shingles
- Thick moss or algae coverage
- Visible granule loss (your roof looks "bald" in spots)
- Daylight visible through the roof boards in your attic
- Soft or spongy spots when walking on the roof
- Damaged or missing flashing around penetrations
Skagit Roofing LLC offers thorough roof inspections that can identify small problems before they turn into major headaches. We'll provide you with an honest assessment of your roof's condition and help you understand your options—whether that's a simple repair or a full replacement.
Choosing the Right Roofing Materials for Your Home
Not all roofing materials perform equally well in our wet climate. That's why we work exclusively with manufacturers who produce products designed to withstand the Pacific Northwest's unique conditions. From algae-resistant shingles that stay cleaner longer to composite materials that offer superior durability and weather resistance, we'll help you select the right product for your home and budget.
We're certified installers for numerous brands that have proven themselves in our climate time and time again. Our owner, Jim Hjelt, has personally trained every member of our crew to ensure that installations meet the highest standards of quality and workmanship.
