Kennewick is the largest city in the Tri-Cities with over 85,000 residents and sits at the confluence of the Columbia, Yakima, and Snake rivers. The city stretches from the riverfront up through a series of ridges toward the Horse Heaven Hills, creating a landscape of diverse neighborhoods with homes ranging from mid-century properties near historic downtown to brand-new construction in Southridge and Creekstone. As a roofing contractor serving Kennewick from our Richland office — just 11 miles and about 15 minutes away — Starka Home understands the specific exterior challenges that Kennewick homeowners face across every season.
Kennewick's semi-arid climate delivers roughly 300 days of sunshine per year with summer highs regularly reaching the upper 80s to low 90s and occasional stretches above 100°F. That intense UV exposure degrades roofing shingles faster than many homeowners expect. Winter brings freeze-thaw cycles, temperature inversions that trap cold air near the ground, and occasional snow loads. Spring and fall bring windstorms off the Horse Heaven Hills — winds strong enough to cause documented soil erosion across Benton County and tear shingles from improperly installed roofs. These conditions demand materials and installation techniques specifically chosen for Eastern Washington, not generic products designed for Seattle's rain.
With a median home value near $430,000 and over 60% of Kennewick's housing stock consisting of single-family detached homes, most Kennewick homeowners have significant equity tied to their property's condition. A failing roof or deteriorating siding affects both structural integrity and resale value. As a roofing contractor focused on Kennewick and the broader Tri-Cities, we select materials rated for high UV resistance, thermal cycling, and wind uplift — then install them using manufacturer-certified techniques so your warranty coverage stays intact.
Kennewick's population is young and growing, with a median age of 35 and an annual growth rate near 1%. The city's workforce spans healthcare, retail, and construction — three of the largest employment sectors — and many residents commute to Hanford, PNNL, or businesses along Columbia Center Boulevard. We respect your schedule by providing clear project timelines, showing up when we say we will, and completing most residential roof replacements in 1 to 3 days.

ROOFING & EXTERIOR SERVICES IN KENNEWICK, WA
Complete roof replacement, professional siding installation, and seamless gutter systems for Kennewick homes — from a roofing contractor based right in the Tri-Cities
Kennewick Roof Replacement & Repair
Full roof replacement using architectural shingles rated for Kennewick's intense UV exposure and wind conditions off the Horse Heaven Hills. We also handle targeted repairs for storm damage, missing shingles, and flashing failures. Every roofing project includes a thorough deck inspection, ventilation assessment, and underlayment evaluation before a single shingle goes on. Whether your home is a 1970s ranch near downtown Kennewick or a newer two-story in Southridge, we match the right roofing system to your home's specific needs.
Siding Installation & Replacement in Kennewick
Fiber cement, premium vinyl, and engineered wood siding options chosen for Kennewick's dry heat, wind-driven dust, and UV intensity. New siding transforms your home's curb appeal while adding insulation and weather protection. We handle everything from full-home re-siding projects in Canyon Lakes to targeted section replacements on older homes near Columbia Park. Every siding installation includes proper moisture barriers and flashing details suited for our semi-arid climate.
Seamless Gutters & Gutter Guards for Kennewick Homes
Custom-fabricated seamless gutters sized for your roofline and Kennewick's occasional heavy downpours and spring storms. While annual rainfall is low, when storms do hit, proper drainage protects your foundation, landscaping, and siding from concentrated water damage. We install gutter guards to keep cottonwood seeds, tumbleweeds, and windblown debris out of your system — a common issue for Kennewick homes near the Columbia River and open areas south of town.
Southridge & South Kennewick
Southridge is one of Kennewick's fastest-growing areas, anchored by Southridge High School, the Southridge Sports Complex, and nearby Badger Mountain Park with its panoramic hiking trails. Homes here range from 2000s-era construction to brand-new builds, many with modern architectural styles and larger rooflines. Even newer roofs can sustain wind damage or need gutter systems upgraded beyond the builder's basic installation. We serve homeowners throughout Southridge, the Horse Heaven Hills neighborhood, and the surrounding south Kennewick developments.
Canyon Lakes
Canyon Lakes is one of Kennewick's premier residential communities, centered around the 18-hole Canyon Lakes Golf Course — a par-72 public course known locally for its signature 12th hole and The Edge Steakhouse. The neighborhood features a mix of custom-built homes, 55-plus townhouses, and condos with a median home price around $565,000 and an average household income of $141,000. Larger rooflines, multi-material exteriors, and HOA appearance standards make experienced contractors essential. We provide roof replacement, siding upgrades, and gutter installation throughout Canyon Lakes.
Creekstone
Creekstone is a master-planned community in central Kennewick located at 10th Avenue and Kellogg, with over 650 homes built since 2001. The neighborhood features two and a half miles of walking paths, two parks, and a variety of home styles from single-family houses to townhomes. Creekstone's proximity to Highway 240 and shopping centers makes it a popular choice for families. Homes in this 20-plus-year-old neighborhood are reaching the age where roof replacement, siding evaluation, and gutter maintenance become priorities.
Historic Downtown Kennewick
Downtown Kennewick along Kennewick Avenue features charming older homes and is the heart of community events supported by the Historic Downtown Kennewick Partnership. Properties in this area often include mid-century and earlier construction with original roofing and siding materials that need upgrading. We specialize in exterior renovations that respect the character of older Kennewick homes while meeting modern energy efficiency and building code standards.
Columbia Center & West Kennewick
The area surrounding Columbia Center Boulevard is Kennewick's commercial hub, home to the Columbia Center Mall — the only enclosed mall in the Tri-Cities. Residential neighborhoods adjacent to the corridor include a mix of 1970s-1990s ranch-style and two-story homes. Many of these homes are 30 to 50 years old with original roofing systems approaching or past their expected lifespan. We handle full roof replacements, siding upgrades, and gutter installation throughout west Kennewick.
Vista Field & Columbia Park
The Vista Field area is undergoing a major transformation — the 103-acre former airport site is being redeveloped by the Port of Kennewick into a mixed-use town center with residences, businesses, and public spaces. Nearby, Columbia Park provides riverfront access along the Columbia River with walking trails and recreation areas. Existing homes near Vista Field and along the Columbia Park corridor face river-proximity moisture and higher wind exposure, making proper roofing materials and gutter systems essential for long-term protection.
