We were in need of a new roof, due to switching insurance. Bates reached out and came out the next day to give us an estimate. We had the pleasure of working with Brad who gave us a quick and reasonable estimate. Unlike other companies we spoke to, Brad was straight up and even gave us 3 different budget options to choose from, and in this economy, that is HUGE. We were told when we bought the house the roof had been done awhile ago (thanks to Brad's expertise we found out our roof hadn't been done since probably the 90s!!!). We got set up quickly and within a few weeks crews were on site. We had Joe as our project manager who kept us constantly updated with pictures and when things went south due to wood rot, him and the crew were there to fix it, making it in our budget as much as possible. They were quick and managed to bust out this old roof with a new one (house and detached garage) in 2 days! They did everything they could to get it done in a timely manner, and crews were picking up debris and nails when we got home. Found a few staples and nails on our back patio but that happens and we've had no complaints. 100% recommend them to anyone needing a roof. Getting a new roof doesn't have to be stressful and expensive and we found that out with bates. Thank you so much for all you did!

I very much appreciated Brad's honesty in assessing our roof & actually suggesting that we do not need a repair or replacement at this time. A refreshingly honest approach

I used Bates to replace and repair our apartment complex roofs. I would definitely recommend Bates Roofing and use them again. The roofs were in pretty bad shape due to lack of proper maintenance by the previous owners. Brad answered all of my questions and gave me great recommendations. I didn't feel pushed to purchase or upgrade anything more than what I needed. The pricing was transparent on the estimate. Pricing for replacement plywood sheets were listed. The crew that worked on our roofs were very efficient and cleaned up. A supervisor followed up after installation of the roof for a final inspection and to answer any additional questions I had. A couple of notes. The only thing not listed in the estimate was replacement for fascia and trim. You may want to ask about that ahead of time if your roofs were terrible like mine! Also, they do charge to remove to remove each layer of roofing. Unfortunately, our buildings had 3 layers. Also, scheduling was a bit rushed for me since we tried to squeeze it in during late winter, early spring and before the end of their fiscal year. TLDR: the job was well done and I would certainly use them again.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Bates Roofing, and our roof looks amazing! Eli was extremely helpful & thorough in the quote process, with great follow through. Scheduling and payment was smooth, and they were very communicative until the crew was able to be here because of weather. The crew was awesome, along with the project manager (Brandon) to ensure we knew what was happening every step of the way. Once the project was complete Joe, the senior project manager came by to do a detailed walk through to make sure the project was completed to the highest standard. We have gotten several compliments on how good our roof looks!
In the Pacific Northwest, roof replacement typically occurs when the roof is between 15 and 22 years old. To determine the status of your specific roof, we encourage you to contact us. We will gladly arrange for one of our experienced estimators to conduct a complimentary evaluation.
What are the signs that I need to replace my roof?
Several indicators suggest the need for roof replacement. These include interior leaks, roof sagging, missing shingles, exposed fiberglass mat, worn or aged shingles, curling shingle edges, and shingles with minimal remaining granules. If you observe any of these signs, it's advisable to consider roof replacement. We invite you to contact our office to schedule a free estimate with one of our professional estimators.
How long will it take to get a new roof?
The duration of a roof replacement project varies based on the roof's size, pitch, and complexity. For small to medium-sized houses, the process typically takes 1-3 days. Larger or more intricate roofs may require up to a week or more to complete.
Can I replace my roof in the wintertime?
Yes, roof replacement is possible during winter. As a roofing company based in Western Washington, we are accustomed to working in all seasons. Our expertise allows us to typically complete the old roof removal and new roof securing in just one day of favorable weather. Once we have 'dried in' your roof, your home remains protected from the elements, enabling us to finish the installation even in rainy conditions.
Are metal shingles better?
The choice between metal roofing and traditional shingles depends on various factors including durability, cost, aesthetics, and environmental considerations. Metal roofing offers exceptional longevity, often lasting 30 to 70 years with minimal maintenance, and provides superior resistance to impacts, wind, and erosion. It also reflects solar heat, reducing cooling costs, and can be manufactured from recycled materials. The decision should be based on your specific preferences, budget, and long-term objectives. Consulting with a Bates Roofing professional can assist you in making the most suitable choice for your needs.
How often should my roof be cleaned?
We recommend engaging a certified roof and gutter cleaning company for annual inspection and cleaning of your roof. In areas with dense tree coverage, consider biannual cleaning. Regular maintenance not only prevents future issues and preserves your home's value but also ensures the validity of any warranties from the original installation.
Can my roof be power washed?
Power washing is not recommended for roof cleaning as it can cause damage rather than clean effectively. Roofing materials are not designed to withstand high water pressure, which can lead to accelerated degradation, particularly on composite roofs. The pressure may also lift shingles, potentially causing leaks during and after cleaning. Bates Roofing advises against power washing roofs.
How much does it cost to repair my roof?
The cost of roof repair varies significantly depending on the specific project requirements. For an accurate assessment, we recommend a professional inspection. We offer complimentary, no-obligation estimates and would be pleased to arrange an evaluation of your roof.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we provide financing options. We collaborate with multiple financial institutions to offer financing solutions tailored to meet our clients' individual needs.
Do you replace gutters and skylights?
Yes, we do. In addition to our comprehensive roofing services, we specialize in gutter and skylight replacement. This ensures that all components of your roofing system are maintained in optimal condition.
