Bates Roofing, Providing The Reroof Experience You Deserve In Renton, WA

As a re-roof contractor in Renton, WA, there is no greater reward for our team than getting positive feedback from our customers. We just completed a roof replacement on this beautiful home for the Hancock family and we were ecstatic when the homeowner sent us the picture above. Debbie told us "This is the dream team!" It just doesn't get better than that! Check out this 5-Star review she provided for us on Google:

"Our current roof was 24 yrs old with no issues other than it is time! Don't wait for a leak! Other houses in my neighborhood had new roofs put on over the last couple of years. I watched the different roofing employees and talked to my neighbors to get their input re: their Roofing company choice. I gathered 5 estimates, 3 in person and 2 online. Narrowed down to 2 and chose Bates. Their price was competitive and everything about this company was top notch.

Not only is it family owned and been in business a long time, but they also use their own employees. They don't use subs... warning! this was important to me since I watched a couple of "sub jobs." Communication was excellent. The team of 4 employees were a well-oiled machine and treated my property with respect. The lead, Nicolas took pictures to show me the dampness and water damage under the roofing after it was removed. A few pieces of new plywood needed to be replaced, which is normal, and I appreciated their honesty. The supervisor popped in a few times to make sure everything was going smooth. After my experience, I'm guessing other neighbors will use Bates as well."

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.

Debunking 5 Common Myths About Local Roofing Service

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 . Check out the photos and story below from our Facebook page. Bates Roofing writes: Three Roofs, One Family – A Bates Roofing Story! 🏡🔨 We love when great work runs in the family!
