Wemhoff Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Bellingham, WA 98229

Our coastal climate requires careful planning. For decks, we recommend materials that resist moisture and mildew, and for additions, proper integration with your home's existing structure and drainage is key. With over 25 years of local experience, we help you navigate permits, design for durability, and choose solutions that stand up to our wet winters and windy conditions, ensuring a lasting result.

We see many roofs in Whatcom County damaged by persistent rain and trapped moisture. For leaks, we perform thorough inspections to find the true source, which is often around flashings or valleys. For ventilation, we assess attic airflow to prevent mold and ice dams, installing or upgrading systems like ridge and soffit vents that are crucial for our climate. Our solutions are tailored to protect your home from the specific weather patterns in Bellingham.

It depends on the extent of rot, structural integrity, and safety. Minor wear like loose boards or surface issues can often be repaired. However, if the supporting posts, beams, or ledger board attached to your house are compromised—common in our damp environment—a full replacement is usually the safer, more cost-effective long-term choice. We provide a clear, honest assessment to help you make the right decision for your home and budget.
