Skip to content Evergreen General Construction has been working on roofs in Puyallup and the wider South Sound for more than 25 years. In that time we’ve handled small leak repairs, full tear-offs, storm damage calls in the middle of the night, and everything in between. We know this area’s roofs take a beating from long rainy stretches, shaded lots that hold moss, and wind gusts that always seem to find whatever shingle is already loose.
Most homeowners don’t call a roofer until something is already wrong, and by then it’s hard to know if you’re looking at a quick fix or the start of a bigger problem. That’s really what this page is for: a straightforward look at what we do, what it depends on, and how to tell which situation you’re actually in. If you’d rather just talk to someone, call us at (208) 695-3167 for a free estimate.
Roofing Services
From targeted roof repairs to complete replacements, inspections, maintenance, and commercial roofing, we provide practical solutions designed for Washington properties.
Leaks rarely show up where the water actually gets in. Water can travel along a rafter or underlayment for several feet before it drips through your ceiling, so the stain you see isn't always above the source. We trace the actual entry point, whether it's a cracked pipe boot, lifted flashing, or a section of shingles that lost their granules, and fix that instead of just patching the visible spot.
Once a roof has more patched sections than original material, or the underlayment has started failing in multiple places, another repair usually just delays the same problem. A full replacement means tearing off the old layer, checking the decking underneath for rot or soft spots, and installing new material suited to Washington's rain and wind exposure. We'll tell you plainly if your roof is at that point or if it still has good years left.
A yearly inspection, ideally scheduled before the fall rains start, is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive repair later. We check flashing, vents, valleys, and attic ventilation, and walk you through exactly what we found, including anything that's fine for now but worth watching.
Storms don't wait for business hours. If a tree limb comes through or wind strips a section of shingles, call us directly and we'll get a tarp on the exposed area quickly, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow safe work on the roof.
Moss holds moisture against your shingles, which shortens their lifespan and makes them more prone to lifting in wind. We clear moss and roof debris, and for homes on shaded lots, we can set up a regular cleaning schedule so it doesn't build back up every winter.
For flat and low-slope commercial roofs, we handle coating, patch repairs, and full membrane replacement, and we work with property managers to schedule around business hours whenever the job allows it.
For material-specific detail, see our dedicated pages on shingle roofing and flat roofing.
A few missing shingles or one active leak is usually a repair, especially if the roof is still under ten years old. Replacement becomes the better option once damage covers a large portion of the roof, once you can see daylight through the attic boards, or once you've had the same leak repaired more than once. Age matters too. An asphalt shingle roof nearing the end of its expected lifespan is often better replaced proactively than repaired piece by piece, since the labor cost of chasing repeated repairs adds up fast. We'll walk the roof with you, point out what we're actually seeing, and explain our recommendation before you decide anything.
We don't publish flat pricing on this page because roofing costs depend on enough variables that a fixed number would be misleading either way. The main things that move the price on any given job are:
A steep, cut-up roof with multiple valleys takes longer to work on than a simple gable roof of the same square footage.
Tearing off two layers of old shingles costs more in labor and disposal than removing one.
If the plywood underneath has rotted, it needs to be replaced before new roofing goes on, and you won't know how much of that is needed until the old roof comes off.
Standard architectural shingles, premium shingle lines, and metal roofing all sit at different price points, with different lifespans to match.
Roofs that are hard to reach, or homes with limited space for equipment and material staging, can add to labor time.
Puyallup requires a permit for roof replacement and new construction, and permit fees are typically part of the total project cost.
Because of all that, the only accurate number is one based on your specific roof. We measure, inspect, and give you a written estimate before any work starts, with materials and labor broken out so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice for homes in this area, and for good reason. They hold up well against rain, come in a wide range of colors, and are the most budget-friendly option to repair if a section gets damaged. See our shingle roofing page for more detail on the specific product lines we install.
Metal roofing costs more upfront but sheds rain and moss more effectively than shingles and holds up better in high wind, which makes it a common choice for homes on more exposed lots.
Flat and low-slope roofing is standard on additions, garages, and most commercial buildings, and needs a different approach to waterproofing than a sloped roof. Our flat roofing page covers the membrane options we install.
Puyallup and the surrounding Pierce County area get a specific kind of wear on roofing materials: steady winter rain that finds any weak point in flashing or underlayment, shaded rooflines that stay damp long after the rest of the neighborhood has dried out, and wind that catches shingles already loosened by moss or age. None of that is unusual for this part of Washington, but it does mean a roof here ages differently than one in a drier climate, and it's why we build our inspection and maintenance recommendations around what actually happens to roofs in this region rather than a generic checklist.
Almost every roofing company's website says "trusted" and "experienced." Those words don't tell you anything you can check. What actually matters is what happens once you've signed a contract, so instead of listing virtues, here's a plain comparison of the things worth asking any roofer before you hire them, including us.
| What to check before hiring | Evergreen General Construction | What to watch for with some contractors |
|---|---|---|
| Who actually shows up | The same project lead, Luna, runs the job from the first walk-through to the final inspection | The estimator who quotes the job and the crew who shows up are sometimes different people you've never spoken to |
| Repair vs. replacement advice | We say when a repair is enough, even though it's the smaller job for us | Estimators paid on commission have an incentive to recommend replacement more often than necessary |
| Communication during the work | Daily updates while a job is in progress | Going quiet between the signed contract and the day the crew arrives is one of the most common complaints homeowners post about roofers |
| Insurance claim support | We've documented damage and pushed back directly with an insurer when a claim was under-covered | Some contractors leave the entire claims conversation to the homeowner |
| Verifiable track record | Named reviews on Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, BuildZoom, and FindTrustedRoofers going back years | A handful of unverifiable reviews, or a profile with almost no history |
| Local climate experience | Over 25 years working on roofs that deal with Puyallup's rain, moss, and wind specifically | Newer companies may not have seen how a given material actually holds up here after a decade of wet winters |
None of that should just be taken on faith either. Ask any roofer you're considering, including us, for a reference from a recent job near you.
These are pulled directly from actual customer reviews, not written for this page:
An insurance company initially agreed to cover only half the cost of a repair. Luna put together documentation showing why the full scope of the damage should be covered, and the claim was approved in full.
A homeowners association hired us for annual gutter cleaning after a rough experience with a previous contractor who'd left debris across the lawns. Our crew moved deck plants out of the way before starting, put them back afterward, worked around a small tree that lived in the yard, and pressure washed the front walk before leaving.
A local homeowner who runs his own construction company hired us to replace his roof and match a difficult drywall pattern in the same visit. He now refers his own clients to us.
Another homeowner got six separate bids before choosing us for a project that included converting a vented roof to a ridge roof and adding a solar-powered skylight with ice shield underlayment.
You can read these in full, along with the rest, on our Google Business profile or Yelp page.
Hear from homeowners in Puyallup who have experienced the quality and dedication Evergreen General Construction brings to every single project.
Walk-through and honest assessment. We inspect the roof in person, from the ground and from the attic when needed, and explain what we're seeing before recommending anything.
Written estimate. You get a clear, itemized number before any work starts, so there are no surprise line items once the crew is already on the roof.
Scheduling around weather. Roofing work depends on dry conditions, so we plan the job for a stretch of weather that actually allows it to be done right.
The work itself. Most residential jobs finish in two to four days. We protect landscaping, driveways, and anything near the work area while the crew is on site.
Cleanup and final walkthrough. We run a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway, then walk the finished roof with you before we call the job done.
Repair, full replacement, inspections, emergency storm response, roof cleaning and maintenance, and commercial flat roofing, for both residential and commercial properties.
It depends on your roof's size, pitch, current condition, and the material you choose, so we don't quote a number without seeing the roof first. A free, in-person estimate gets you an accurate, itemized price.

We also work in Tacoma and Auburn, and take calls from nearby Pierce County communities on a case-by-case basis.
For active leaks or storm damage, call us directly rather than using the contact form. We prioritize emergency calls and aim to get a tarp on an exposed roof the same day when possible.
We can walk your roof with you, document the damage, and provide the kind of detailed assessment that supports an insurance claim, though the claim itself is between you and your insurer.
