Roof Replacement in Des Moines, WA
Professional roofing contractor serving Des Moines homeowners. IKO Dynasty shingles, complete tear-off, and full flashing systems for homes from Redondo Beach to the Des Moines Marina.
Roofing Built for Des Moines' Waterfront and Hillside Homes
Des Moines is a charming waterfront city in South King County known for its marina, fishing pier, and the scenic Redondo Beach boardwalk. The city's residential neighborhoods span from Puget Sound waterfront properties to the hilltop areas near Midway and Zenith, creating a range of home styles and roofing conditions. Most of Des Moines' housing was built between the 1950s and 1970s, with a mix of ramblers, split-levels, and some mid-century modern homes taking advantage of the water and mountain views.
The Woodmont and Redondo Beach neighborhoods feature homes closest to the water, where salt air and wind exposure from Puget Sound create accelerated roofing wear. The Zenith neighborhood and areas along Marine View Drive feature hillside homes with stunning views but also steeper lot grades and more complex roof access requirements. Many homes throughout Des Moines are on their second or third roof and are due for a comprehensive replacement.
PNP Exteriors provides Des Moines homeowners with complete roof replacements using IKO Dynasty architectural shingles. Our system includes Stormtite synthetic underlayment, Storm Shield ice and water barrier, ridge vent ventilation, and complete flashing packages designed to handle the unique combination of salt air, wind, and rain that Des Moines homes face.
Roof Replacement Services in Des Moines
Complete roofing solutions for Des Moines homes, from waterfront properties to hilltop residences.
Full Roof Replacement in Des Moines
Complete tear-off, sheathing inspection and repair, Stormtite synthetic underlayment, Storm Shield ice and water barrier, and IKO Dynasty architectural shingles. Built to handle Des Moines' coastal conditions.
Metal Roofing for Des Moines Homes
Nu-Ray standing seam and corrugated metal roofing — an excellent choice for Des Moines' waterfront and exposed properties. Metal roofs resist salt air corrosion and handle high winds exceptionally well.
Ventilation Systems
Proper ridge vent installation for balanced attic airflow. Good ventilation prevents moisture buildup, ice damming, and premature shingle deterioration — critical in the damp Pacific Northwest climate where attic condensation is a common issue.
Complete Flashing Systems
Roof-to-wall flashing, step flashing, valley metal, chimney flashing, and starter metal at every transition point. Proper flashing is the single most important defense against leaks — and where many roofing shortcuts happen.

Roofing Challenges Specific to Des Moines
Des Moines' location on Puget Sound creates roofing conditions that differ from inland communities. The combination of salt air, direct wind exposure, and the typical Pacific Northwest moisture makes this one of the more demanding environments for residential roofing in South King County.
Salt Air and Wind Exposure
Homes near the Des Moines Marina, Redondo Beach, and along Marine View Drive experience salt-laden air and stronger winds from Puget Sound. Salt air can accelerate the deterioration of metal flashing and fasteners if inferior materials are used. We use corrosion-resistant components throughout and IKO Dynasty shingles rated for 130 mph winds to ensure long-term performance in these exposed locations.
Hillside and View Properties
Many Des Moines homes are built on hillsides to capture water and mountain views. These properties often have steeper roof pitches, multi-level rooflines, and more challenging access for crews and material delivery. Our team has extensive experience with hillside projects and plans logistics carefully to ensure safe, efficient installation.
Mid-Century Housing Stock
Des Moines' 1950s-1970s homes often feature split-level designs with multiple roof planes, dormers, and original skip sheathing. We address all of these legacy construction details during replacement, bringing every component up to modern standards while preserving the character of these well-built mid-century homes.
Neighborhood Roofing Notes for Des Moines
Des Moines is in King County. Mid-century ramblers, some waterfront, suburban infill. Puget Sound marine air. Salt and wind on west-facing bluffs. Similar detailing to Federal Way Redondo.
Typical roof replacement pricing here is $12,000–$26,000, including tear-off, decking inspection, Stormtite synthetic underlayment, Storm Shield ice and water barrier, IKO Dynasty architectural shingles, new flashing, ridge vent, and magnetic cleanup. Homes with steep pitches, multiple layers, or custom architecture land higher in the range.
How permits work in Des Moines
Des Moines building permits are issued from City Hall on 11th Avenue S. Waterfront and bluff homes may have additional drainage notes; we still handle the building permit for the roof or siding itself. Permit cost is disclosed on the written estimate. You do not need to visit the building department.
What we see on Des Moines roofs
Salt, wind, and aging ramblers. Metal is a strong option on the bluff. Landmarks we use as local reference include Des Moines Marina, Beach Park, and the Redondo border.
Materials that last in this climate
IKO Dynasty architectural shingles with algae-resistant granules and ArmourZone nailing (rated to 130 mph) are our standard because they handle Pacific Northwest rain, moss, and wind better than leftover three-tab. Stormtite underlayment and ice-and-water at eaves and valleys are included — not add-ons. Metal (Nu-Ray standing seam) is the longevity upgrade when a Des Moines homeowner wants 40–50 years, especially on wind- or water-exposed elevations.
Because Des Moines has marine exposure, we spec corrosion-resistant flashing metals and enhanced nailing on windward planes. Salt air shortens the life of bargain galvanized accessories; we do not use those on Sound-facing roofs.

More Des Moines Questions

Puget Sound marine air. Salt and wind on west-facing bluffs. Similar detailing to Federal Way Redondo. We spec materials and ventilation that assume months of damp weather, not a sunbelt install. Trimming back firs after the job also helps.
Yes. After tear-off we inspect every sheet. Salt, wind, and aging ramblers. Metal is a strong option on the bluff. Damaged decking is replaced before underlayment. Extra sheets are billed as a line item you approve — we do not hide it in a vague allowance.
Yes, and it is often smarter. New roof-to-wall flashing belongs with new siding. Bundling also means one permit cycle and one disruption. Roofing in Des Moines typically runs $12,000–$26,000; siding $16,000–$38,000.
Yes. Marine exposure in Des Moines means better metals, tighter nailing, and an honest conversation about metal roofing versus asphalt lifespan. Bargain flashing rusts here first.
