Richland is more than just part of the Tri-Cities — it's a community shaped by the Columbia River, decades of scientific innovation at Hanford and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and neighborhoods that range from mid-century homes along George Washington Way to brand-new construction in Badger Mountain South. Starka Home is based right here in Richland (zip code 99352), and as a local roofing contractor we understand the specific exterior challenges that Richland homeowners face every season.
Our semi-arid climate delivers intense UV exposure through long, hot summers that regularly push past 100°F, while winter brings occasional snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and spring windstorms that test every roof, siding panel, and gutter system in Benton County. With only about 7 inches of annual rainfall, drainage may seem like an afterthought — but when storms hit, proper gutters and roof systems matter more than ever. These conditions demand materials and installation practices specifically chosen for Eastern Washington, not generic solutions shipped in from the west side of the Cascades.
As a roofing contractor serving Richland and surrounding communities like West Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco, we combine hands-on knowledge of local building codes with manufacturer-certified installation techniques. Whether your home sits along the Columbia Point waterfront, near the shops on George Washington Way, or in the family-oriented neighborhoods of Meadow Springs, our crews arrive prepared with materials rated for our climate and the experience to install them correctly.
Richland homeowners are well-educated — the city has one of the highest concentrations of scientists and engineers in the country, thanks to PNNL and the Hanford legacy. We respect that by providing transparent, detailed estimates, honest timelines, and straightforward answers about material options, warranties, and what your home actually needs versus what gets upsold elsewhere.

ROOFING & EXTERIOR SERVICES IN RICHLAND, WA
Complete roof replacement, professional siding installation, and seamless gutter systems for Richland homes — all from a contractor based in your community
Richland Roof Replacement & Repair
Full roof replacement using architectural shingles rated for Richland's high UV exposure and temperature swings. We also handle targeted repairs for storm damage, missing shingles, and flashing failures. Every roofing project includes a thorough inspection of your decking, ventilation, and underlayment before any shingles go on.
Siding Installation & Replacement
Fiber cement, premium vinyl, and engineered wood siding options chosen for Richland's dry heat and occasional wind-driven dust. New siding transforms your home's curb appeal while adding an extra layer of insulation and weather protection. We handle everything from full-home re-siding to targeted section replacements.
Seamless Gutters & Gutter Guards
Custom-fabricated seamless gutters sized for your roofline and Richland's occasional heavy downpours. Proper gutter systems protect your foundation, landscaping, and siding from water damage. We also install gutter guards to keep cottonwood seeds and debris out of your system year-round.
Central Richland & The Alphabet Houses
Central Richland is home to the original Manhattan Project-era "alphabet houses" — modest single-family homes built in the 1940s with lettered floor plans (A, B, E, F, and others). Many of these homes along streets like George Washington Way, Stevens Drive, and Goethals Drive still have their original roofing and siding. We specialize in upgrading these historic homes with modern materials that respect their character while meeting today's energy and durability standards. The Gold Coast Historic District is just blocks away.
Horn Rapids
Horn Rapids sits in northwest Richland near the 18-hole Horn Rapids Golf Course, Leslie Groves Park, and the Columbia River waterfront. Many homeowners here work at Hanford, PNNL, or Energy Northwest and chose this neighborhood for its short commute and access to walking paths and parks. Homes range from 1990s builds to recent construction. We handle roofing and siding projects for the full range, from aging composition roofs that need replacement to newer homes needing gutter installation or storm damage repair.
South Richland & Badger Mountain South
South Richland is one of the fastest-growing areas in the Tri-Cities, anchored by the Badger Mountain South master-planned community. New construction homes here feature modern architectural styles, but even newer roofs can sustain wind damage or need gutter systems added after the builder's basic installation. We also serve established South Richland neighborhoods near Queensgate Drive, where homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are reaching the age where roof replacement becomes necessary.
Meadow Springs
Meadow Springs is Richland's premier residential area, known for well-maintained homes, top-rated schools, and proximity to the Meadow Springs Country Club. The neighborhood's upscale homes often feature larger rooflines and multi-material exteriors that require experienced contractors to service properly. We provide roof replacement, siding upgrades, and seamless gutter installation throughout Meadow Springs, with careful attention to protecting landscaping and the neighborhood's manicured appearance.
Columbia Point & Waterfront
The Columbia Point area offers waterfront living along the Columbia River, with access to the 8-mile Riverfront Trail and Columbia Point Golf Course. Homes near the river face unique exterior challenges including higher wind exposure and moisture from river proximity. As a local roofing contractor, we understand these conditions and select materials — like impact-resistant shingles and moisture-resistant siding — that perform in this specific microclimate.
Uptown Richland
The Uptown district near Jadwin Avenue and the Richland commercial corridor includes a mix of mid-century homes and updated properties. Many homeowners in this area are upgrading their exteriors as part of the broader revitalization happening in central Richland. We offer complete exterior packages — roof, siding, and gutters — that help these homes match the energy and appearance of the growing Uptown area.

Answers to common questions Richland homeowners ask about roofing, siding, and exterior services
Roof replacement costs in Richland typically depend on your roof size, pitch, material choice, and whether any decking repairs are needed. We provide free on-site inspections and detailed written estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins. Contact us to schedule your free Richland roof inspection.
Richland's semi-arid climate with intense summer UV and occasional freeze-thaw cycles in winter calls for materials designed for thermal extremes.

Common signs include missing or curling shingles, granules accumulating in gutters, visible daylight through the attic, water stains on interior ceilings, and roof age over 20 years.

Richland's dry summers and early fall offer ideal conditions for roof replacement, with minimal rain delays and optimal temperatures for shingle adhesion. However, we install roofs year-round and schedule projects to work around Richland's occasional winter weather. Spring is also a popular time after winter storms reveal damage that needs attention.
We understand that a roof replacement is a significant investment for Richland families. Contact us to discuss payment options and financing availability for your project. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Most Richland residential roof replacements are completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather. Larger homes in neighborhoods like Meadow Springs or Horn Rapids with steeper pitches or multiple roof planes may take slightly longer. We provide a clear project timeline during your estimate.
