  • What factors should I consider when choosing a roofing material?

    When choosing the right roofing material for your home or business in Puyallup, WA, consider your local climate, budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term performance.


    Asphalt shingles are affordable and widely used.


    Metal roofs are durable and energy-efficient.


    Tile and slate offer longevity but may require additional structural support due to their weight.


    Also think about energy efficiency, maintenance requirements, and how well the material suits your property’s architectural style. At IRC Roofing Company, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your needs and budget.

  • How often should I inspect my roof for damage?

    We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall, and always after severe weather events.


    You should also perform routine visual checks every few months to spot early signs of damage, like missing shingles, moss growth, or water stains.


    For peace of mind, call IRC Roofing Company at (253) 446-6386 to book your annual inspection anywhere in Puyallup or the surrounding Washington areas.

  • How long does a typical roof installation take?

    Most asphalt shingle roofing installations take 1 to 3 days for standard residential homes.


    For metal, tile, or slate roofs, or larger and more complex structures, installation may take up to 1–2 weeks.

    Factors like weather conditions, roof pitch, and material choice can impact the timeline. At IRC Roofing Company, we’ll provide a clear schedule before starting your project.
