Think Edmonds’ rainy weather means you have to delay your roof project? Think again.
With Pacific Northwest weather being as unpredictable as it is, many homeowners ask us:
“Can you really replace a roof during the rainy season?”
The short answer: Yes, with the right process, tools, and timing, Blue and Blue Roofing replaces roofs all year long.
In this article, we’ll explain how we handle roofing in Edmonds’ wet climate, why tear-off day is key, and how waterproofing underlayment makes roofing in the rain possible.
Yes, We Roof Year-Round – Even in the Rain
At Blue and Blue Roofing, we work through all seasons, including fall and winter, because we know your roof can’t always wait for sunshine. Our crews are trained to plan around weather windows and use industry-best materials that protect your home rain or shine.
The Most Important Day: Tear-Off Day
The tear-off (when we remove your old shingles) is the most weather-sensitive part of the entire roofing process. That’s why we:
- Watch local weather hour-by-hour in Edmonds
- Never tear off your roof unless we know we can immediately move to the next phase
- Use tarps and coverings to protect exposed roof decking if weather changes suddenly
Once the old roof is off, our priority is to install a waterproof underlayment as quickly as possible.
After Underlayment Is Installed, Rain Is No Problem
Once the self-sealing waterproof underlayment is applied to your roof deck, your home is protected. This synthetic layer shields your structure from water intrusion, giving our team the flexibility to:
- Install shingles or metal roofing even if rain arrives after the underlayment is down
- Continue working safely and securely, without compromising your roof’s performance
- Stay on schedule, even during Edmonds’ wetter months
This is one reason we use high-performance underlayments designed for Pacific Northwest conditions, not just basic felt paper.
Common Misconceptions About Roofing in Wet Weather
“Won’t rain ruin the materials?”
No, as long as the underlayment is in place and the products are properly stored and handled, shingles and flashings can be installed during light or moderate rain without issue.
“Is it dangerous to roof in the rain?”
Safety is always our top priority. If conditions are too slick, stormy, or windy, we pause work. But with proper footwear, gear, and prep, our crews are trained to operate safely in variable weather.
“Will the rain void my warranty?”
Not with Blue and Blue Roofing. We follow all manufacturer installation guidelines, and roofing after underlayment is installed does not void warranties when done correctly.
Why This Matters for Edmonds Homeowners
In Edmonds, Lynnwood, Shoreline, and nearby communities, delaying a needed roof replacement for “better weather” can lead to further damage, including:
- Leaks into insulation and drywall
- Rotting roof decking
- Mold and mildew growth in attics
- Higher long-term repair costs
That’s why roofing when you need it — not when the skies are perfect — is the smarter choice.
