Woodinville, WA Roof Replacement
57-Square Landmark PRO Install with New Gutters & Ventilation Upgrade
This week we wrapped up a full roof replacement in Woodinville, Washington — and this one was a big one.
The homeowner knew it was time. The roof had reached the end of its lifespan, and with low-slope sections and heavy seasonal rain in the Pacific Northwest, patchwork repairs weren’t going to cut it anymore.
When we performed our full roofing inspection, it became clear: this home needed a complete system upgrade — not just new shingles.
The Home & Roof Details
📍 Location: Woodinville, WA
📐 Roof Size: 57.1 squares
🏗 Existing Roof: 1 layer of aging asphalt shingles
🌧 Key Concern: Low-slope areas requiring enhanced waterproofing
🌀 Ventilation: Upgrade to full ridge vent system
🏠 Additional Scope: Full gutter and downspout replacement
At over 57 squares, this was a substantial roof system — and in Woodinville’s climate, waterproofing and ventilation are everything.
What We Found During the Inspection
Once we got up on the roof and evaluated the structure, here’s what stood out:
- Aging shingles near the end of their service life
- Low-slope areas that required extended ice & water protection
- Sections of roof decking that had compromised structural integrity
- Gutter system ready for replacement
In the Pacific Northwest, low-slope areas are especially vulnerable. If ice & water shield isn’t applied correctly, water intrusion becomes a real risk.
We made sure this one would be built right.
The Solution: Full Roofing System Installation
Step 1: Complete Tear-Off
We removed the existing shingles and underlayment down to the decking.
No shortcuts. No layering over problems.
Step 2: Decking Replacement
We replaced 10 sheets of 7/16" OSB decking where structural integrity was compromised.
On exposed eaves, we installed 1/2" CDX plywood per homeowner request.
Solid decking = long-term performance.
Step 3: Advanced Waterproofing
Because of the roof design and slope areas, we installed:
- CertainTeed Ice & Water Shield on the first 3 feet of eaves
- Ice & water protection in all valleys
- Extended application on all low-slope sections
- Synthetic underlayment across the remaining roof surface
In Woodinville’s rainy climate, this extra protection matters.
Step 4: CertainTeed Landmark PRO Installation
We installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO shingles in Moire Black.
Why Landmark PRO?
- Architectural thickness
- Algae resistance
- High wind rating
- Proven long-term durability
- Backed by manufacturer warranty
We installed:
- CertainTeed starter shingles along eaves and rakes
- CertainTeed hip and ridge caps
- Electro-galvanized roofing nails
- 26-gauge pre-painted steel drip edge
- 26-gauge W-valley metal (open valley system)
- New galvanized plumbing vent boots
Every component installed per manufacturer specifications.
Step 5: Ventilation Upgrade
This home received a full CertainTeed filtered ridge vent system to allow proper airflow across the roof deck.
Ventilation is critical.
Without it, heat and moisture get trapped in the attic — shortening roof lifespan and increasing risk of mold and decking failure.
This system now meets modern ventilation standards.
New Gutters & Downspouts Installed
Since we were already replacing the roofing system, we installed:
- 5" K-style seamless aluminum gutters
- Heavy-duty hidden hangers spaced every 2 feet
- 2"x3" aluminum downspouts
- Preformed outlets (no cut-and-fold shortcuts)
- Proper slope for optimal drainage
Color selected:
White (low gloss finish)
All gutter workmanship includes:
- 10-Year Squatch Roofing Workmanship Warranty
- 20-Year Manufacturer Material Warranty
A roof is only as good as its drainage system.
