Fircrest feels like a small town tucked inside Tacoma, with its tidy 1930s to 1950s homes, mature Douglas firs and maples, and quiet streets around Fircrest Park. Many of these houses still have their original low-pitch roofs, and the heavy tree cover keeps gutters full and north slopes green with moss.
That is why homeowners in 98466 call Tacoma Metal Roofing. We know how Fircrest's older housing stock handles our wet winters, and we have helped neighbors near the Fircrest Golf Club and along Regents Boulevard move to metal roofs that shed moss and last for decades.
Metal Roofing in Fircrest (98466)
Fircrest was mostly built out between the 1930s and 1950s, so you see a lot of brick Tudors, compact bungalows, and post-war ranches with low-slope shingle roofs. The lots are tight, the streets are narrow, and mature trees hang over many roofs. That means access can be tricky for a full tear-off, and we often plan for careful staging and temporary protection of landscaping. The tree canopy also drops needles and limbs, so we pay close attention to fasteners, flashing, and gutter sizing to keep water moving away from the house. Moss and algae are a constant on shaded north slopes, and metal is one of the few roofing materials that does not give them a foothold.
Our team has worked on Fircrest roofs for years, from simple repairs on a 1940s ranch to full standing seam installations on newer additions. We understand the local building department's permit process and the design review that can apply in older sections of town.

How a Job Works in Fircrest
Step 1: You call us at (253) 276-7144 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days, and walk the roof with you to identify leaks, moss, failing fasteners, or storm damage. We give you a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the required permit from the City of Fircrest and schedule the work. On tight lots, we plan material delivery and dumpster placement to keep your driveway and neighbors' access clear. If your home is in a historic overlay or HOA, we help you submit the paperwork for panel profile and color approval.
Step 3: When the job is done, we magnet-sweep the yard, clean gutters and downspouts, and walk the finished roof with you. We do not leave until you are satisfied and the site is clean.
Pricing in Fircrest depends on roof size, pitch, access, and the condition of the existing roof. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, and metal roof replacement at $9. If you are retrofitting over existing shingles, that starts at $7 per square foot, but code limits how many layers you can cover. Repairs start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. Coating and painting start at $2.50 per square foot, and gutters start at $9 per linear foot. Every roof is different, so call (253) 276-7144 for a free estimate and a firm number.
