The approach
Local Conditions First
Every recommendation starts from what the North Sound actually throws at a roofline: roughly 37 to 42 inches of rain concentrated into the October-through-March window, conifer needles that shed all year and defeat basic screens, moss that colonizes any trough holding moisture, and housing stock — much of it built in the 1960s and 70s — still draining through systems installed decades ago.
That's why the emphasis lands on full seamless replacement where systems are done, micro-mesh guards under canopy, 6-inch capacity on the big rooflines, and copper where waterfront homes justify a fifty-year material. And it's why cleaning and repair advice comes with honest arithmetic instead of upsell — some homes genuinely just need a cleaning.
