Which Local Roofing Companies Do It All Near Tacoma?

October 26, 2026•8 min read

The local roofing companies worth hiring near Tacoma handle the roof, the gutters and the moss as one system, not three separate jobs. That matters here, because South Sound rain moves through all three on its way off your house. Roosevelt Roofing covers all of it across Tacoma, Puyallup and Pierce County.

What separates full service roofing from roof-only companies?

Mostly what happens at the edges of the job. Full service roofing means one crew is responsible for the roof surface, the flashing, the gutters and the moss, so nothing falls between two contractors.

People who search "what services do roofing companies offer" often find the answer varies wildly. Around Tacoma, you'll see four common types:

Company type

What they usually handle

What tends to fall through the gaps

Roof-only installer

New roofs and replacements

Gutters, moss and small repairs between projects

Gutter-only company

Gutter installs, guards and cleaning

Damaged shingles or flashing they spot but can't fix

Moss and cleaning crew

Moss removal and roof washing

Repairs to anything the moss was hiding

Full service roofer

Roof, repairs, gutters, moss and upkeep

Very little, because one crew owns the result

None of those first three are bad businesses. However, each one stops at a line. For example, a cleaning crew may lift thick moss and find cracked shingles underneath, then leave you to find a roofer. Meanwhile, a gutter company may notice soft fascia boards and have no way to repair the roof edge behind them.

Why does roofing and gutters together make sense in the South Sound?

Because they're one water path. Water flows off the roof shingles, drip edge and gutter. If any part of this system fails then the damage will be absorbed by the next part of the system.

By looking at the roof and guttering together you can avoid the most common failure of South Sound. Guttering gets blocked with fir needles and grit from the shingles. This causes water to back up in the gutter which will lead to damp on the fascia and base of your roof deck. Meaning a roof may look fine from the street but could actually be rotting at the eaves.

Yes they can. Usually it's best practice in this climate to have just one company do your roof and gutters. We can ensure that the drip edge and gutter apron are aligned nicely with the gutters when replacing. When cleaning the gutters we will be on the roof anyway so we can also check the flashing, pipe boots and valleys.

Homes under tall Douglas firs feel this most. In Tacoma's North End, on South Hill and around Puyallup, needle drop can fill a gutter in a single fall. That's why our roof and gutter cleaning service treats both as one visit.

What should a roof maintenance plan include?

A yearly check of the roof surface, the flashing, the gutters and the moss, timed around the wet season. A good roof maintenance plan catches small problems in September instead of in January, when they're leaking.

If you've wondered "what is included in roof maintenance," here's what a solid visit covers:

  • Gutter and downspout cleaning, ideally after the fall needle and leaf drop

  • A roof walk, checking for lifted, cracked or missing shingles

  • Flashing checks around chimneys, vents, pipe boots and skylights

  • Moss treatment, before growth lifts the shingle edges

  • Valley clearing, where debris traps water against the roof

  • Photos and notes, so you can see what we saw

Moss is the part of most homeowners underestimate. It is holds water against the shingles and lifts their edges, which lets rain blow underneath. Our guide to roof cleaning in Puyallup explains why soft treatment beats a pressure washer.

For rural properties and long-term care around Graham, our local roofing contractor guide covers how often a roof should be looked over.

How do you vet local roofing companies in Tacoma and Puyallup?

Check their state registration, ask who actually does the gutter and moss work, and get the scope in writing. Those three steps filter out most of the trouble.

First, look up the company with L&I. The state's Verify a Contractor tool shows whether a business has an active contractor registration and a workers' comp account covering its employees. That second item matters on a roof, since falls are a real risk.

Second, ask about moss treatment specifically. Washington's Department of Agriculture states that companies doing moss control on roofs need a commercial applicator pesticide license. So, if you're searching for which roofing companies handle gutters and moss as well near Tacoma Washington, ask each one how its moss work is licensed.

Third, are they doing the gutter work in house or are they subcontracting it? There is nothing wrong with either option however you want to be clear who to contact if there are any issues. Ensure that your scope of works is in writing and clearly states what will be included, with the roof, gutters and moss as separate items.

Frequently asked questions

1. What does a full service roofing company handle beyond the roof itself?

You can consider us a complete water management specialist. We can provide you with guttering, downspouts, gutter guards, flashing and moss control. As well as regular inspections. This means that if anything goes wrong there is only one place to go.

2. Can one visit cover the roof, the gutters and the moss?

Yes most of the time. Most homes will have clean gutters, moss treatments and roof inspections completed in one visit. However in some cases where there is a large amount of moss and/or repairs are required it may take 2 visits. Either way you will know before we start.

3. Is a yearly maintenance plan worth it in this climate?

Most South Sound homes will require a yearly contract. Due to wet winters and lots of trees, gutters will get blocked and moss will grow yearly. A yearly inspection will save you a lot of money compared to fixing rotted Fascia/roof deck. Homes with little trees around may not need as much.

4. Who handles skylights, flashing and ventilation?

We can provide flashing around skylights, chimneys, vents and pipes. If there is an issue with the actual skylight unit or your attic ventilation we will give you an honest recommendation during our estimate.

5. Does bundling services cost less than booking them separately?

Most of the time yes. As we are able to do everything in 1 visit and set up. You won’t be paying 2 companies to look at your roof. We will give you a total price for all work.

6. How often should gutters be cleaned near Tacoma?

At least once a year. However if your home is under firs, cedars or large maples then twice a year. The most important time to clean is late autumn as this is after all the needles and leaves have fallen. We would also recommend a visit in spring to help clear any moss debris and seed pods.

7. Do you install new gutters or only clean them?

Yes we do. We can fit seamless aluminium, copper and steel gutters, downspouts and gutter guards. If your gutters are drooping, rusty or pulling away from the Fascia it is often a better option to replace them.

8. Can moss treatment damage my roof or landscaping?

No if treated properly. We use a low pressure system to remove thick moss. Only using enough treatment to treat your roof. Our careful team will ensure your plants aren’t damaged and we take runoff into account as the water will run through your gutters.
