Roofing, Siding, & Windows Services

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Our most common job type is roofing - and of the roofing is metal roofing, but that does not mean that is all we do; not by a longshot. We do all types of roofing - aluminum, steel, standing seam, stone coated, PVC, rubberized shingle, and archtectural composition. In addition, we install triple pane windows (we have an exclusive on an incredible product). We do exterior siding of all types, as well as decks and patio covers. Remodeling or additions also fit in our category of being a general contractor; however, we limit ourselves on this final type of project to only a few a year as we never want to stretch our resources too far to be able to provide excellent services and prices.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Do your homework. Be an informed consumer and make sure a contractor is registered, actively licensed, with a bond and insurance, and registered to work in Washington. Check their references - not only by calling, but a drive-by is always good. Make sure they do not have any lawsuits against their contractors bond and if they have been cited for violations of the various construction laws governed by the department of Labor & Industries. I also think it is good to go to the office of the company, or at least make sure they have one. If they offer financing or have the ability to take credit cards for large sums that also indicates stability as the company will have had to go through rigorous credit checks to provide these services.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Why should I spend more for a Weather Shield Steel Roof?

You will never re-roof again. You will be shielded from all inclement weather with an Energy Star roof. You have the choice of many colors and profiles to suit YOUR taste.

Our roof provides you with a long-term investment. Construction costs are constantly increasing and your initial investment now, will hedge the rising costs of labor and materials in the future. Less functional roofing materials will have to be replaced and as well as being costly and time consuming, add to our landfills and are not energy efficient. The beauty and durability of our roofing system adds to the beauty of your home and its future resale value.

Can I walk on a Weather Shield Steel Roof?

Should the need arise the roof system is walkable; however, metal roofing can be slippery when wet calling for additional safety precautions. Unless an emergency, it is always recommended to have a professional service your roof – regardless of the roofing choice you make.

Do you have to tear-off my existing roof, to install a Weather Shield Steel Roof?

We actually prefer to install our Weather Shield Steel Roofing System over your existing roof and in most cases this is not a problem. Because there is no old roof to dispose of, there is less pressure on landfills, helping us to protect our fragile environment. In addition, the waste at the project can be recycled as well.

How long will it last?

Steel roofing has been used in residential roofing projects, as well as commercially in both agricultural and industrial applications for over 100 years. Many of these century old projects still are going strong. Ask your representative to see some of our examples.

What type of warranty comes with a Weather Shield Steel Roofing System?

Manufacturer’s Limited Lifetime, 50-Year Transferrable, Non-Prorated

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. I wish customers knew that although there are a few bad apples out there not all contractors are not bad apples. The economy has people really price conscious and we understand that completely; however, I wish that they would weigh out cost and quality and find a happy medium. Getting things done right the first time, even if it costs a little more is well worth the investment. Weather Shield Exteriors is in a unique position where we can give cost effective service - getting it done right the first time and I wish customers would give us a call.
