We love what we do! To some construction is just construction. For us here at Bates Roofing, LLC protecting homes and families is our mission, vision, and passion! Finding purpose in what we do is important or else you lose focus on the vision, which is to be the best option for home and business owners in the Puget Sound.

We recently got a call from a distraught homeowner that needed a roof repair contractor in Enumclaw, Washington. Their roof was leaking and damaging the interior of their home. They needed to have estimators come out quickly to provide a fair price and get this roof fixed to minimize and stop the damage! Luckily, we were on the job! One of our amazing roofing estimators Duane was able to get right out and inspect the roof. After getting up on the roof and assessing the damage there was a significant portion of the roof that needed to be repaired.

He expertly consulted and provided a really great project price for an entire roof replacement instead of just a really large costly repair. The value of the full replacement and the price were just to good to pass up! He got the homeowner signed up and we got them on the schedule right away to take care of their leaking roof.

That is exactly why we are here! Protecting this family’s most valuable asset by providing them with the best and most economical option is what we do every day. That is why we are the best roofing contractor in Enumclaw, WA.

For this particular job, our customer chose an IKO Cambridge roofing shingle system in the color charcoal grey. The Cambridge high-definition color pattern looks amazing on their home to say the least. It is a quality value option for homeowners on a budget with a strong history or performance in the Puget Sound. The IKO Cambridge roofing shingle carries a 50-year limited lifetime warranty. The first 10 years is non prorated, meaning they will pay 100% to replace the cost of the roof if the material fails due to defects.

At Bates Roofing, LLC we always install a “full roofing system.” A full roofing system is the utilization of roofing components that work together in order to create a water shedding system. We have been installing roofs in the Puget Sound for over 30 years have learned that reducing key system components in order to try and “come in lower” can be detrimental to the long-term performance of the roofing system.

The Importance Of A Solid Roof Roof Deck On Your Shingle Roof

By 7003946242 • May 30, 2025

When it comes to the integrity of a roofing system, there is more to it than meets the eye! Everything in the building and structural world starts with the foundation. When the foundation is set correctly everything else can be constructed properly. If the foundation is off it affects the rest of the project very much like an airplane that starts 1" off course at the beginning of the flight but ends up miles off from its destination. Its no different on an asphalt roofing system. Even though you don't see the roof deck it's a critical component. It's crucial that your roofing contractor carefully inspects your roof deck to look for any potential rot, water damage, mold or brittle areas. Improperly ventilated homes can contain alot of moisture which can create an atmosphere for attic mold, which is extremely hazardous for your health. If the underside of your decking is full of attic mold all or some of the plywood needs to be replaced. Failed shingles, high or low nail placement, broken vents or pipe boots among other issues can cause roof leaks and water intrusion. Consistent water intrusion creates rot. The fasteners for the new shingle system will not hold in soft or rotten plywood. This can create premature failure and shingle blow off in moderate or high winds. Car decking roof decks can also present a problem. While they technically meet manufacturer codes the older wood is often extremely dry and brittle and does not hold fasteners. At Bates Roofing we utilize the best practice approach in every aspect of our business. All plywood is inspected and compromised plywood is removed and replaced to create a smooth solid substrate. A smooth substrate is also important as large variations in the plywood placement will telegraph through the asphalt shingles over time and give a new roof an ugly appearance. We are a safe choice for your roof replacement because we don't cut corners! We meet the highest level of Washington State codes, NRCA requirements and manufacturer expectations for upgraded system warranties. Below are some "found in the field" examples of replacing bad plywood during a reroof job. Thank you for choosing Bates Roofing as your local roofing contractor.

Let's debunk some of the most common myths about local roofing service options that might be holding you back from making an informed choice.

One Family, Three Roofs, One Great Experience With Bates Roofing

By 7003946242 • March 28, 2025

The very best accolade we can earn as a contractor is the referral of one of our customers. That says more about our level of customer service than anything else. Hiring a contractor in the roofing business is risky business! In fact the department of labor and industry reports that 80% of roofing contractors will go out of business within the first year of opening their doors. Another huge percentage of contractors will go out of business by year 5. With those facts in mind, for a homeowner to trust you enough to refer you their family or friends based on their experience with you is a incredible complement. We just recently had an amazing experience with a family that we earned that level of trust! In fact we installed three full roofing systems for one family! We are grateful to this amazing family for their business and also incredibly grateful for our Bates Roofing family of employees that produce such a great customer experience that our community feels this strongly about sharing our services .
