Squatch Roofing repaired a section of roof at a gable’s rake edge in Woodinville, WA 98072 on October 6, 2026, where the job’s line items name a tree strike area. The roof deck at the edge was splintered and torn open. The crew opened it to the rafters, added a new 2×4 backer, put in new plywood decking and new shingles, faced the rake with new 1×6 fascia, and replaced the single-slope peak cap flashing. A small tune-up of the rest of the roof was included at no charge. Everything was done in one day.

What Squatch Found
There is no separate inspection visit in this job file. Every photo is from the repair day, and the first ones show the damage as the crew found it with the shingles off:
- Deck: the plywood along the rake edge was split and splintered, with jagged pieces still nailed in place and a gap open down to the top of the gable wall.
- On the ground: broken pieces of deck and a strip of shingle lay on the lawn below the edge.
- Setting: tall conifers stand close to the house on that side.
The line items call this the tree strike area. The job file does not say when the tree hit the roof or what kind of tree it was, so this post does not either.
What We Recommended
The work was scoped as a repair of that one edge, not a new roof. The line items cover each layer that was broken: the framing behind the edge (a 2×4 backer), the deck, the shingles, the rake fascia, and the peak cap flashing. A small tune-up of the rest of the roof was added at no charge with the repair.
How the Repair Went
October 6: the crew pulled the broken deck at the rake and opened the edge down to the rafter bay, where the batt insulation over the wall was visible. New framing lumber went in along the edge, then a new sheet of plywood was fastened over it. Underlayment went down and new shingles were woven back in to the rake. At the gable, a new wood rake board was set and the rake was faced with new fascia.
Once the edge was closed, the crew went over the rest of the roof for the tune-up. The photos show fresh sealant at the fasteners on the vent flanges, around the pipe boot collars, and along the flashing where a lower roof meets the siding. The line items also list the single-slope peak cap flashing as replaced; the photos include a run of dark metal cap flashing near a skylight.
The Finished Repair
By the end of the day the rake edge had new framing, new decking, new shingles, and new fascia, and the roof’s vents, pipe boots, and flashings had been sealed. The crew also photographed the eaves and soffits from below.
What This Repair Cost
Project investment range: $2,600 to $4,100. This range reflects the scope of this completed project and is not a current quote. It is anchored on the final invoice total, which includes Washington sales tax.
The price came from the number of layers that had to be rebuilt at one edge: framing, decking, shingles, fascia, and flashing, each its own line item. The tune-up was included at no charge.
What Homeowners With Similar Damage Should Know
The damage went past the shingles. On this roof the broken area reached the deck, the framing behind the edge, and the fascia. Each was priced and fixed on its own line.
Ask whether the rest of the roof gets looked at. Here the small tune-up was included with the repair, so the vents, pipe boots, and flashings were sealed the same day.
