Weather in Western Washington State presents a unique challenge for roofing contractors. In many States, they have very little precipitation so they can roof year around. In the beautiful Pacific Northwest, we are blessed with rain 9 months out of the year. While this creates a beautiful rainforest landscape for all to enjoy, it also makes completing reroof projects a bit trickier for local contractors. This is a good reason to work with companies like Bates Roofing that have 40 years in business and tons of experience navigating Winter and Spring reroof installs safely.

We recently finished up a reroof in Puyallup , WA during the winter months. With the extreme snow and ice conditions we experienced during the Winter of 2022 and early 2023, there were only select days that full reroof projects could be performed with the safety of our customers in mind. The particular roof was even more challenging as we needed to remove the existing cedar shake roof and install ½” CDX plywood on the entire roof to create a solid substrate for the new architectural shingle system. That means the roof will be open for an extended period of time before it can be waterproofed again! Our project managers are meticulous in regard to watching the weather, managing our crews, and working with our roofing suppliers to ensure projects are loaded with material and started at the right time. We know how to approach the job systematically to ensure the perfect amount of roofing is removed and dried in with underlayment each day to keep the project moving forward in a safe manner! This is a skill learned over time by roofers in our region and the work of skillful project managers, foreman and crews.
This particular roof received a brand-new CertainTeed Landmark roofing system. This is a high-quality laminate shingle with a limited lifetime warranty. Moire Black was the homeowners color choice which goes well with almost any exterior color combination.

We are very grateful to have gained the experience needed over the last four decades to be a premium roofing contractor that can install year around in the Puget Sound.
