Burien's Trusted Roofing & Exterior Contractor

Burien is home, it is where K Single Corp was founded, where our headquarters sits at 14996 21st Ave SW, and where our story as a roofing contractor began. With a population of approximately 52,000 residents, Burien is a tight-knit South King County city nestled between Seattle to the north and SeaTac to the south, with Puget Sound defining its western boundary. The city’s housing stock tells the story of post-war suburban growth: thousands of ramblers, split-levels, and Cape Cods built between the 1940s and 1970s, interspersed with newer townhome developments and waterfront properties that command premium views of the Olympic Mountains.

Roofing in Burien presents a specific set of challenges that we understand better than anyone. The city’s western neighborhoods, Seahurst, Boulevard Park, and especially the Three Tree Point peninsula, face direct exposure to Puget Sound weather systems. Winter storms drive rain horizontally against roofing materials, and sustained winds can lift improperly installed shingles. Move inland to Gregory Heights, Sunnydale, and North Burien, and the challenge shifts to moss and debris from the dense tree canopy that shades roofs for months during the overcast season.

K Single Corp has been roofing Burien homes since 2007. We have replaced roofs on every street type in this city, from the steep-lot waterfront homes of Three Tree Point where staging and safety rigging are essential, to the flat-lot ramblers of Gregory Heights where efficient tear-off and disposal make the difference between a one-day and a three-day job. We know which neighborhoods have older plywood decking that may need replacement, which areas tend to have multiple layers of old roofing that increase tear-off costs, and which blocks have HOA or community guidelines that influence material choices.

Being headquartered in Burien means something beyond convenience. It means our crew members drive past your home on the way to the shop. It means when a November windstorm tears shingles off your roof at 10 PM, we are fifteen minutes away, not across the county. It means our reputation is not abstract, it is built on the roofs visible from our own office windows.

Burien is a community that values straightforward, honest service. That is exactly how we operate. Every project starts with a free, no-pressure estimate where we walk your roof, photograph problem areas, and sit down with you to explain exactly what we recommend and why. Our estimates are itemized line by line, materials by manufacturer and product, labor, tear-off, disposal, permits, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup. There are no vague allowances or surprise change orders.

Hometown Accountability. We are not a franchise or a storm-chasing outfit that shows up after a windstorm and disappears. We are your neighbors. Our office is on 21st Ave SW. Our trucks are parked in Burien every night. If something is not right with your roof five years after installation, you know exactly where to find us.

10-Year Workmanship Warranty. Every K Single Corp project, residential or commercial, comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty, backed by our Washington State contractor license #KSINGSC842B3. This warranty covers installation defects, flashing failures, and any workmanship-related leaks. It supplements the manufacturer’s material warranty, giving you two layers of protection.

Burien Roofing Challenges

Burien’s housing stock and climate create roofing challenges that require local expertise to navigate effectively:

• Aging mid-century homes: Thousands of Burien homes built in the 1950s-70s have roofs that are at or past their expected lifespan. Many have been re-roofed once already, and some still carry two or three layers of old shingles that must be torn off before new installation.
• Waterfront wind exposure: Seahurst and Three Tree Point properties require materials rated for high wind speeds and installation techniques that exceed standard methods, additional nail patterns, enhanced starter strip adhesion, and reinforced flashing at all penetrations.
• Moss and moisture: Burien’s 38 inches of annual rainfall combined with mature tree coverage creates aggressive moss growth that shortens roof life. Left untreated, moss lifts shingle edges, traps moisture, and accelerates decay of the underlying decking.
• Mixed-era neighborhoods: Areas like North Burien contain homes spanning seven decades of construction. Each era has its own roofing substrate, ventilation approach, and structural considerations. Our experience across all eras means we diagnose accurately and recommend appropriately.

We have completed over 300 roofing projects within Burien city limits alone. From quick repairs to full tear-off replacements, from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, K Single Corp is Burien’s roofing contractor, not by slogan, but by address.
