Roofing Contractor in Lakewood, WA
Lakewood is a mid-sized city south of Tacoma built largely around American Lake, Fort Steilacoom Park, and the proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The housing stock is predominantly mid-century, with many homes in neighborhoods like Gravelly Lake, Tillicum, and the Lake Steilacoom corridor dating from the 1950s through the 1970s. These homes were built quickly to serve a growing military and civilian workforce, and their exterior systems, including roofing, siding, and concrete flatwork, are at or past the age where full replacement is more practical than continued repair. The flat to gently rolling terrain means drainage is manageable, but aging concrete driveways and walkways have settled in many areas.

Lakewood's 1950s–1970s Homes Are Ready for Full Exterior Updates
Homes in Gravelly Lake, Tillicum, and the Lake Steilacoom corridor were built in the postwar decades to house a rapidly growing population near JBLM. Construction was efficient rather than elaborate, and the exterior systems on these homes, including roofing, siding, and trim, reflect that era's materials and methods. Asphalt shingles from a second or third installation cycle are now showing granule loss and curling edges, and the sheathing underneath on many homes has absorbed moisture through slow leaks over the years.
Concrete driveways and walkways in Lakewood's older neighborhoods have gone through many freeze-thaw cycles and decades of vehicle loading. Sections that have settled toward the house create drainage problems that push water against siding and foundation walls. Concrete Work that re-grades or replaces these sections protects the exterior of the home as much as it improves the appearance of the property.
Original aluminum siding from the 1960s and 1970s is still present on a notable share of Lakewood homes. It dents easily, the factory finish has long since faded, and the interlocking seam system was never designed for the moisture levels of a Pacific Northwest winter. Replacing it with fiber cement or modern vinyl siding improves both the weather resistance and the long-term maintenance burden for homeowners in this area.

Our Services in Lakewood, WA
Every service, available in Lakewood, WA
Roofing Solutions are the primary need in Lakewood, where a large share of the housing stock was built between 1950 and 1975 and original or once-replaced roofing systems are showing age. Concrete Work is the second most common request, as driveways and walkways on these older properties have settled, cracked, or heaved over decades of wet winters and dry summers. Siding Services address the original aluminum or early vinyl siding found on many Lakewood homes, which has faded, dented, or failed at the seams and is ready for replacement with modern fiber cement or updated vinyl systems.

FAQ
Roofing Contractor FAQ for Lakewood, WA
Common questions from Lakewood, WA customers about our services, process, and coverage.
Aluminum siding from the 1960s and 1970s that is heavily dented, has lost its factory finish, or shows gaps at the seams is a good candidate for replacement. Paint applied over old aluminum rarely bonds well long-term, and the interlocking seam system was not designed to handle the sustained moisture of a Pacific Northwest winter. Fiber cement or modern vinyl siding will outperform it in both durability and appearance.
Yes, a driveway that drains toward the house pushes water against the siding base and foundation, which accelerates rot in wood trim and bottom siding courses. Replacing or re-grading those concrete sections so water moves away from the structure is one of the most direct ways to extend the life of the siding and the framing behind it.
Granule loss, curling shingle edges, and soft spots in the sheathing are the most common findings on Lakewood homes built between 1950 and 1975. Many of these homes have had one or two re-roofing cycles, and the sheathing underneath has absorbed moisture through slow leaks that were not caught early. A full inspection of the decking is the starting point before any new roofing is installed.
Concrete placement in Lakewood's wet winter months requires attention to temperature and curing conditions. Work is possible in cooler weather with proper mix design and curing protection, but sustained freezing temperatures require additional precautions. Scheduling flatwork in late spring through early fall gives the best curing conditions and the most predictable results.
