New Construction Roofing
Seattle & Greater Area

Bring us in as early as possible — ideally before framing is complete. This lets us confirm that the roof structure, sheathing, and ventilation blocking are correct before you're locked in. We'll review the plans, confirm the roofing scope, and reserve your spot in the schedule. Early coordination prevents the framing-to-dry-in delays that cost GCs the most.

We need OSB or plywood sheathing properly nailed and H-clipped (as required by code), with all fascia boards installed or rough fascia in place. Blocking at eaves for soffit vents and ridge blocking for exhaust ventilation should be in place. We'll walk the frame before scheduling to confirm readiness — this prevents showing up to a job site that's not ready.

In Washington State, the roofing scope is typically included in the general building permit pulled by the GC. We provide our license number and insurance certificate for inclusion in the permit application. For owner-builder projects, we can advise on the permit requirements specific to your jurisdiction — Seattle, Bellevue, Snohomish County, and King County all have slightly different processes.

Almost always. We source matching shingles or materials from the same manufacturer lines. For older roofs where the exact product is discontinued, we select the closest current equivalent and can provide samples before committing. The key is that the new section ties in properly with the existing — we detail the transition flashing to prevent water entry at the junction.

Yes — two warranties. The manufacturer's material warranty (typically 30–50 years depending on the product) and Solomon Roof's workmanship warranty covering installation quality. We register the manufacturer warranty in the homeowner's name at project completion. For GC accounts, we provide warranty documentation in the format needed for your project closeout package.
