Every roofing project includes a thorough deck inspection. If we find rot or damage, we repair it before installing new roofing.
GAF Certification — What It Means for You
Vikings Exterior is a GAF Certified Contractor — one of a select group of roofers in the Seattle area who meet GAF's strict standards for insurance, licensing, and installation quality.
What GAF Certification means for your project:
• We're eligible to offer GAF System Plus and Golden Pledge warranties — up to 50 years on materials plus 25 years on labor
• GAF inspects our installs independently
• You get warranty coverage that transfers to the next homeowner if you sell
• We can offer the full GAF Roofing System (shingles, underlayment, starter strips, ridge cap) for maximum warranty
Most roofers can't offer these warranties because they're not certified. Ask your estimator about warranty options.
Asphalt vs. Metal vs. Flat Roofing
Choosing the right roofing system for your Seattle home:
Architectural Asphalt (GAF Timberline):
• Best value for most Seattle homeowners
• 25–30 year lifespan, handles heavy rain and moss well
• Cost: $8,000–$18,000 for a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft home
• Moss-resistant granule options available
Metal Roofing (Standing Seam):
• Premium option: 50+ year lifespan, zero moss issues
• Excellent in Pacific Northwest rain — sheds water perfectly
• Higher upfront cost: $18,000–$45,000+ depending on home size
• Pays off over 30–50 years with zero maintenance
Flat Roofing (TPO/EPDM):
• Required for low-slope or flat sections
• TPO is more durable and reflective; EPDM is cost-effective for smaller areas
• Critical to install correctly — flat roofs cause the most insurance claims when done wrong
Roofing Cost in Seattle (2026)
Roof replacement cost in Seattle varies widely based on size, pitch, material, and what the deck looks like when we tear off the old roof.
2026 estimates for Seattle metro:
• Architectural asphalt (1,500 sq ft home): $8,000–$15,000
• Architectural asphalt (2,500 sq ft home): $12,000–$22,000
• Metal roofing (standing seam, 1,500 sq ft): $20,000–$35,000
• Flat roof (TPO, 1,000 sq ft): $8,000–$14,000
• Cedar shake replacement: $18,000–$35,000
These are installed prices including tearoff, disposal, underlayment, permits, and labor. Every additional layer of tearoff adds roughly $1,500–$3,000.

• Transferable to the next homeowner (adds resale value)
• Backed by GAF directly, not just by your contractor
This warranty is only available when you use the complete GAF Roofing System (all GAF components) installed by a certified contractor. Ask us for details during your estimate.
