There’s a great deal on the line when the time comes to replace your roof. It’s ideal when your roofing contractor handles everything from giving you a fair estimate to promptly picking up the debris container once your residential roof replacement is complete. Use the right contractor, and you’ll end up with a properly installed, warrantied roof that will handle northern Seattle’s weather extremes year after year.
When it comes to residential roof replacements, the Rainier roofing and foundations difference is summed up in three words: knowledge, experience and certification. Rainier roofing and foundations combines over 45 years of experience, awareness of the latest building codes and knowledge of newer roofing materials to give you the quality roof replacement you deserve.
With all of our experience, we have perfected the art of the efficient residential roof replacement. Whether you need the current roofing removed or not, we typically complete a roof replacement in a single day. You’ll return to your regular schedule before you know it, and you’ll enjoy the curb appeal and extra protection that a new roof offers.
We are also factory-certified by two industry leaders: GAF and Owens Corning. If these major roofing manufacturers trust us to install their products to their specifications, we hope you will, too.
Preparation is a key part of a residential roof replacement, whether it be in Seattle. When we are replacing a roof on a house in the Northern Seattle area, we do everything we can to minimize the impact on your property and your schedule. Approximately 1-2 days before the crew arrives, our team arranges to have the roofing materials delivered directly to your residence. On the day of the job, we deliver our Rainier roofing and foundations containers in the morning and we remove them the same day. The rest of the process is includes the following steps.
Roof shingles, underlayments, and flashings removed down to the sheathing.
Sheathing and rafter support system inspected and replaced as needed
Galvanized drip edge installed per code
Ice and Water shield installed per code
Starter strips installed
Synthetic underlayments installed over sheathing
New Shingles installed per manufacturer guidelines
New ventilation system installed
All pipe flanges and vents replaced
Chimneys flashed
Ridge Caps Installed
Even though there’s a great deal involved in a full roof replacement, Rainier roofing and foundations still completes residential projects quickly and efficiently, often in as little as a day or two. We deliver our own containers just before the roofing crew arrives. Debris goes right to these containers, so we keep your yard looking good as we complete your roof replacement. These containers are promptly removed by our team as soon as the job is complete.
As a full-service roofing contractor, we also remain ready to serve you after your new roof is in place. Call on us for routine roof inspections, maintenance, emergency repairs and warranty work.
As a factory-certified contractor, Rainier roofing and foundations is authorized to offer its customers the very best warranties in the business. For example, the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty covers both labor and materials more thoroughly than any other warranty in the residential roofing industry. There’s a 50-year warranty on architectural shingles and a 25-year warranty on labor.
As a certified roofing contractor, we are also authorized to offer a number of transferable warranties from major manufacturers. Such warranties offer extra value if you think you might sell your home in the future.
To assist our residential customers, we’re committed to making the insurance claims process go as smoothly as possible. At Rainier roofing and foundations , we use the same software that the insurance company does, which allows us to properly format a claim. This often speeds up the process by the insurer and it helps you get appropriate upgrades in a residential roof replacement.
It is important to avoid claims processing using nothing more than a general estimate from a claims adjuster who is not a roofing professional. Such an individual often lacks the expertise to understand the true scope of roof damage. Sometimes, an insurer uses a “program contractor” who mainly caters to the insurer’s interests. By contrast, our estimating system and roofing expertise combine to get you the roofing work all homeowners need and deserve.
