Olympia Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Olympia, WA for residential and commercial properties across Thurston County and the south Sound. Asphalt covers most of the steep roofs in this city and it should. A laminated architectural shingle over a properly prepared deck is the right buy for the overwhelming majority of Olympia houses, and the decisions that matter are all underneath it rather than on the shelf.
We will usually talk you down a grade. The premium designer lines carry a heavier mat and a longer printed warranty, and in this climate the failure that ends a roof is almost never the shingle giving up on its own. It is a termination, a valley, a penetration or a ventilation problem, and the money spent moving from a mid-tier laminate to a designer profile buys none of those things.
What we do spend money on is the assembly. Self-adhered membrane over the full deck rather than a three-foot eave strip, synthetic underlayment above it, a real starter course on the rake edges and not only at the eaves, six nails per shingle inside the published nail zone, and open metal valleys with a raised center rib on anything that collects two planes at once. That list costs a fraction of a grade change and does considerably more.
Deck preparation is where the honest cost sits in older Thurston County housing. Skip sheathing under a shingle roof, half-inch plywood that has taken twenty years of condensation at the north eave, and previous nailing that never found a rafter all show up after the tear-off, which is why every one of those items is unit priced before we start.
Algae-resistant granules are worth asking for and worth understanding. The copper in them suppresses the black streaking that shows up on north exposures in this climate for a decade or so, and it is not a cure or a maintenance plan. If somebody sells it to you as either of those, they are overselling a granule. Ask what it is doing for you in year twelve.
Colors matter less than people expect and ventilation matters more. A dark roof over a properly balanced attic in Olympia runs cooler in August than a light roof over a sealed one, and we would rather spend your budget on intake at the eaves than on a shade that only shows up in the driveway photograph. Intake is cheap and permanent, and color is neither.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — quarter-inch-per-foot tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a drain-point layout, edge metal carrying an ANSI/SPRI ES-1 test rating with fastening to match, hot-air-welded thermoplastic seams probed by hand with a dull hook, two-inch core cuts patched and logged against a numbered roof plan, 24-gauge Kynar 500 standing seam on floating expansion clips, six-nail fastening set inside the manufacturer's published nail zone — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Olympia and nearby communities including Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, Tenino.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with quarter-inch-per-foot tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a drain-point layout, edge metal carrying an ANSI/SPRI ES-1 test rating with fastening to match, hot-air-welded thermoplastic seams probed by hand with a dull hook, two-inch core cuts patched and logged against a numbered roof plan, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Olympia job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Thurston County and the south Sound means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Olympia Chooses Olympia Roof Pros
- ✓We quote your summer date and your November date side by side, because in a capital city the dry weeks are sold against a public bid calendar and the gap between those two prices is real money you should get to decide about.
- ✓Every scope carries unit prices for sheathing, blocking, fascia and flashing before the tear-off starts, the way a public change order has to be written, so nothing on your job gets renegotiated from the top of a ladder.
- ✓We will tell you that nobody owes you prevailing wage on a private house. If a bid quotes the published Thurston County rate at you as a justification, that is a public works number being used as a sales line.
- ✓We do not install new concrete or clay tile in this market. The bench that can flash and maintain it properly is thin here, and we would sooner turn the work down than leave you with a roof nobody local will service.
