Othello sits in the heart of Adams County and the Columbia Basin, a community of roughly 9,000 residents whose roots run deep in agriculture, food processing, and the legacy of the Columbia Basin Project. Since the 1950s, irrigation transformed the surrounding scablands into some of Washington's most productive farmland — and as the town grew, so did its housing stock. Today, Othello's homes range from mid-century ranch-style houses along Main Street to newer single-family construction in subdivisions on the edges of town. Starka Home serves Othello as a roofing contractor that understands what these homes need to withstand the Basin's demanding conditions.
The climate in Othello is classified as cold semi-arid, and it puts serious stress on roofing materials. Summers push temperatures into the mid-90s and occasionally past 100°F, delivering intense UV exposure across more than 3,200 hours of annual sunshine. Winters drop to the mid-20s with freeze-thaw cycles, occasional snow loads averaging over 6 inches per season, and wind that sweeps across the open agricultural landscape with nothing to slow it down. Annual rainfall is just 8.4 inches — modest, but when storms move through the Basin, water management matters. These conditions demand roofing, siding, and gutter systems selected specifically for Eastern Washington, not generic products designed for the wet side of the Cascades.
Our office is based in Richland, 59 miles south of Othello along WA-17 through Eltopia and into Adams County. We make that drive because Othello homeowners deserve the same level of professional exterior work available in the Tri-Cities. Every project in Othello receives a thorough on-site inspection, a detailed written estimate, and installation by crews who are trained on manufacturer specifications for the materials we use.
Othello is a working community — nearly 80 percent of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, and many families are connected to the agricultural and food processing industries that drive the local economy. Household budgets matter here, and we respect that by providing honest recommendations. If a targeted roof repair will extend your roof by several more years, we recommend the repair. We earn trust through straight talk, not upselling.

ROOFING & EXTERIOR SERVICES IN OTHELLO, WA
Complete roof replacement, professional siding installation, and seamless gutter systems for Othello homes — from a contractor that drives the distance to deliver quality work
Othello Roof Replacement & Repair
Full roof replacement using architectural shingles rated for Othello's extreme UV exposure and temperature swings between summer highs above 100°F and winter lows in the 20s. We also handle targeted repairs for wind damage, missing shingles, and flashing failures common after Basin windstorms. Every roofing project begins with a thorough inspection of your decking, ventilation, and underlayment — the layers that determine how long your new roof actually lasts.
Siding Installation & Replacement
Fiber cement, premium vinyl, and engineered wood siding options chosen for Othello's dry heat, wind-driven dust from surrounding agricultural fields, and cold winter temperatures. New siding protects your home's structure while improving curb appeal and energy efficiency. We handle full-home re-siding and targeted section replacements for Othello homes ranging from older ranch-style houses to newer construction.
Seamless Gutters & Gutter Guards
Custom-fabricated seamless gutters sized for your roofline. With only 8.4 inches of annual rainfall, Othello may seem like a place where gutters are optional — but when Basin storms hit, proper drainage protects your foundation, landscaping, and siding from concentrated water damage. We install gutter guards to keep agricultural debris and cottonwood seeds from clogging your system.
City Center & Main Street Corridor
The core of Othello runs along Main Street and radiates outward through the original town grid. Many homes here date from the 1950s through the 1970s — built during and after the Columbia Basin Project brought irrigation and population growth to Adams County. These mid-century ranch homes often have original composition roofing and wood or aluminum siding that has reached the end of its service life. We specialize in upgrading these homes with modern architectural shingles and durable fiber cement or vinyl siding that handles the Basin's UV and temperature extremes.
Bruce / Koren Area
The Bruce and Koren neighborhood on the north side of Othello includes a mix of single-family homes and properties connected to the surrounding agricultural landscape. Roofs in this area take the full brunt of north-facing wind coming across open farmland, making wind-resistant shingle installation and proper flashing details especially important. We inspect for wind uplift damage and install roofing systems designed to handle Basin wind exposure.
Othello West
West Othello has seen residential growth with newer single-family construction built on larger lots. These homes typically feature contemporary floor plans with larger rooflines and attached garages. Even newer roofs can sustain damage from hail, wind, or poor original installation. We provide inspections and repairs for newer homes, along with gutter installation that builders sometimes skip or undersize during initial construction.
Othello South & Novara
The southern portion of Othello extending toward the Novara area transitions from residential neighborhoods into the agricultural outskirts. Homes here face particular exposure to dust carried by prevailing winds across open farmland. Siding materials in this area need to resist abrasion and UV degradation. We recommend fiber cement and premium vinyl siding products that maintain their appearance and structural integrity despite the harsh conditions south of town.
Marine View
The Marine View area in southeast Othello provides residential properties with views toward the surrounding basin landscape. Homes here range from modest single-family residences to custom-built properties. We serve this area with the same complete exterior packages — roofing, siding, and gutters — tailored to the specific needs of each home's age, materials, and exposure.
Greater Adams County
Beyond Othello proper, we also serve homeowners in the surrounding Adams County communities. Rural properties and farmsteads in the Basin face some of the most demanding exterior conditions in Eastern Washington — full sun, wind, temperature extremes, and dust. Our crews are equipped to handle these projects with materials and techniques proven in the Columbia Basin environment.

Common signs include missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in gutters, visible daylight through the attic, water stains on interior ceilings, and roof age over 20 years. Othello's intense sun exposure — over 3,200 hours annually — accelerates shingle deterioration compared to cloudier parts of Washington. Wind damage from Basin storms is another common trigger.

Yes. Starka Home is fully licensed, bonded, and insured for exterior construction work throughout Othello, Adams County, and Washington State. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We follow all local building codes and pull permits when required.
Othello's dry summers and early fall offer ideal conditions for roof replacement, with minimal rain and optimal temperatures for shingle adhesion. However, we install roofs year-round and schedule around Othello's winter weather when needed. Spring is also popular after winter storms and freeze-thaw cycles reveal damage that needs addressing.
Many Othello homes were built during and after the Columbia Basin Project era of the 1950s through 1970s, and a large number are single-story ranch-style homes. We frequently work on these properties, upgrading original composition roofing and aging siding with modern materials that provide better UV resistance, insulation, and durability. These older homes often need decking inspection and ventilation improvements as part of a roof replacement — and we include that assessment in every project.
