Roofing Contractor in Tacoma, WA

Tacoma's housing stock spans more than a century of construction. The North End and Proctor District are dense with Craftsman and Tudor homes built in the early 1900s, while South Tacoma and the Eastside carry mid-century ramblers from the 1950s and 1960s. That age range means siding, roofing, and exterior carpentry on many homes have cycled through at least one full replacement and are due for another. Wet Pacific Northwest winters push moisture into aging wood trim, lap siding, and flat or low-slope roof sections, accelerating decay between maintenance cycles.

Tacoma's Oldest Homes Need Trade-Specific Exterior Work

Tacoma's North End and Proctor District are lined with Craftsman and Tudor homes built in the first half of the 20th century. Wood lap siding on these homes absorbs moisture through the long rainy season, and paint that has been applied over old layers without proper prep traps that moisture inside. The result is soft spots, rot at the bottom courses, and failing caulk lines around windows and doors.

South Tacoma and the Eastside carry a different challenge. Mid-century ramblers from the 1950s and 1960s often have original roofing systems that have been patched rather than replaced. Low-slope sections above garages and additions are especially prone to pooling water and sheathing damage. Roofing Solutions on these homes require attention to flashing at every transition point, not just the field of the roof.

Deck Installations in Tacoma require planning for the city's hillside lots. Many properties in the Stadium District and Old Town sit on sloped terrain where deck footings must go deeper and ledger connections to older framing need careful inspection. We work with what the lot and the existing structure actually present, not a flat-lot template.

Every service, available in Tacoma, WA

Siding Services and Roofing Solutions are the most requested work across Tacoma's older neighborhoods. Early 1900s Craftsman homes in the North End often have original wood siding that has been painted over many times, trapping moisture and leading to rot at the base boards and window surrounds. Deck Installations are also in steady demand as homeowners on hillside lots near the Stadium District and Old Town add or replace decks that take the full force of southwest winter winds. Carpentry Services round out the work, addressing deteriorated trim, fascia, and soffit on homes that have not had exterior attention in decades.

Excellent quality. Listens. Flexible. We appreciate the way our project came out the way it was planned. We were involved and respected. The guys really did a lot of high quality work on our siding and windows (100 year old house). We added a dining room which connected new and original floors- amazing skills. Our kitchen and dining room are one continuous hardwood floor which is really important to us. I can’t thank them enough. John, Thom, Paul, Julian, Al, and several others. What a team.

I had Pella windows and a slider door installed. I’m happy with the job Sound Home Exteriors did. There was an unexpected electrical wire that was nicked and the team lead ensured me an electrician would be called to fix the problem. The electrician did a good job and then the window crew professionally re-sheet rocked the affected wall. The team did a nice job with cedar trim around the windows and door. After job completion, a small corner of molding could not be found and the lead went to two different stores to get an exact match and installed it. Prior to leaving, they ensured all glass was clean and clear. In summary, We are happy with this company’s product , price and service. JB Krawiecki

Chris was very professional and easy to work with. We had our siding done. We opted to do some of the work on our own (removal of the old siding) and have his team come in and finish the project and he was very flexible and worked with us on the timeline for this. His prices are also very competitive compared to all the other quotes we received. I highly recommend him and his team!

Chris's guys did a great job with my wood siding repair (including remedying dry rot under the siding) and with exterior painting of my house/garage/shed. Great attention to detail - glad I contracted with Sound Home for both jobs!

We had such a great experience with Sound Home Exteriors. They communicated when our project would start and it's exactly how I pictured it! John and Thom were fantastic and did beautiful work! They even made sure to block off spots at the end of the day so our little dog would be safe and not fall off the deck. I can't recommend them enough!

Roofing Contractor FAQ for Tacoma, WA

Common questions from Tacoma, WA customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Fiber cement siding performs well on early 1900s Craftsman homes in the North End because it resists the moisture that wood lap siding absorbs during Tacoma's long rainy season. It also holds paint longer, which matters on homes where repainting every few years has been the norm. The profile can be matched closely to original lap widths, preserving the look of the neighborhood.

Low-slope sections on mid-century ramblers in South Tacoma are prone to water pooling if the original drainage slope was not adequate. Before replacing the surface material, the sheathing underneath should be checked for soft spots from years of slow leaks. Flashing at the wall-to-roof transition is the most common failure point on these additions.

Yes, hillside lots in the Stadium District can support decks, but the footing design has to account for the slope and soil conditions. Posts on sloped terrain are typically taller, which affects the structural load on the ledger connection to the house. We assess the existing framing before recommending a deck layout.

Tacoma averages significant rainfall from October through April, and wood fascia and trim on homes built before 1970 absorb that moisture repeatedly. Paint that is cracking or peeling is usually the first sign, followed by soft wood underneath. Replacing deteriorated trim with primed, moisture-resistant material and sealing all joints stops the cycle.
