Arlington Roofing Contractor

Arlington receives more rain than Marysville or Everett due to Cascade foothill orographic lift. Snow is more frequent east of SR-9, 2 to 6 inches once or twice per winter, with occasional ice storms. The Snohomish County snow-load map shows 25 to 30 psf in lower Arlington and 30+ psf in the foothills, which controls rafter and sheathing design. Heavy Douglas fir and western hemlock canopy east of I-5 drives severe moss growth. Outbuildings and detached garages age on different schedules than the main house.

Historic downtown has 1890s through 1920s Victorian and Craftsman homes on small lots. Mid-century ramblers on the flats. Gleneagle is a 1990s through 2000s master-planned community with covenant-controlled architecture. Rural acreage homes east of SR-9 range from 1970s cedar A-frames to 2000s+ custom builds on five to twenty acres. Cedar shake is still installed here.
