Bates Roofing Transforms Laekwold Gardens Wedding Venue with new wood shake roof

Who do local historic societies trust with their reroof needs? That's an easy answer, Bates Roofing. We have been in business for more than 40 years here in the Pacific NW. Over four decades of excellent customer service and a long history of high quality roof installations make us the safest choice in the reroof industry.


Don't just take our word for it, you can ask our clients at the historic Lakewold Gardens in Lakewood, WA. The property has a history dating back to 1908 and is a staple wedding venue for Pierce County residents. It was very important that we provided a level of excellence in safety, installation and final appearance that was worthy of the venue.


We tore off the existing roof down to the skip-sheathing substrate. We addressed any rot to ensure the new roof would have a solid foundation that will last. We installed shakeliner underlayment, new sheet metal flashings, and a high quality wood shake roofing system.


This new roof really elevated the look of the building and will last 40+ years before it needs to be replaced again.


If you are in the market for a Tacoma roofing contractor, give us a call. Not only do we remove the concern of dealing with a fly-by-night roofer, we are fair, affordable, and efficient with plenty of references to prove it!
