  • Snow load: 25 psf (ground) (Mount Vernon). The trusses, rafters and roof sheathing on your plans are designed for the snow load; if the truss notes show a different number, ask before you bid.
  • Design wind speed: 110 mph (Mount Vernon). Shingles go on with the maker's nailing for the wind speed, and high-wind nailing changes the nail count.
  • No ice barrier required by the local table (Mount Vernon). Many roofers still run it at eaves and valleys; the roof notes on your plans decide.

Sources: Skagit County: Skagit County GIS · Mount Vernon: City of Mount Vernon. Read 2026-09-28. Every number is as the jurisdiction publishes it (its design criteria for houses, IRC Table R301.2(1)); a dash means it isn't published. Your lot can differ with elevation and exposure, so confirm it with the building department before you order.

Questions

Shingle roofing takeoffs in Skagit County

Do you do shingle roofing takeoffs for houses in Mount Vernon?

Yes. Upload the plan set for a house anywhere in Skagit County (Mount Vernon, Burlington, Anacortes, Sedro-Woolley, La Conner and Bow), or anywhere else. Nothing has to be built yet: we measure the house on the plans.

What design numbers apply in Mount Vernon?

Mount Vernon publishes snow load: 25 psf (ground); design wind speed: 110 mph; ice barrier required: no. The design on your plans should match them, and the takeoff follows your plans. Elevation and exposure can change them for your lot, so confirm with the building department.

Does a takeoff cost more in Skagit County?

No. The price is the same everywhere, and you see it before you pay. The 3D model is included, and each trade after the first in the same order is half price.

Is this an exact price?

No. It's an estimate built from your plans. Plans don't show the roof as it really is: rotten decking or old layers under a re-roof, or crickets and saddles that aren't drawn. Anything built differently from the drawings won't be in the bid. We recommend a site visit to confirm measurements and conditions before you sign a contract or order materials.
