Changing the roofing experience in Washington State
Every roof needs something different. A roof that does not have any signs of failure may only need a proactive moss treatment, whereas one with missing shingles may need extensive repairs or a complete replacement.
Have a professional inspection performed to detect problems before they damage your home.
Information on roofing can be confusing when everyone is saying something different. We're here to answer your questions without trying to pitch you a product.
Replacing a roof is usually a time-sensitive matter and our famous roof replacement process takes the stress out of re-roofing.
Emergencies, patching, storm damage, ridge cap replacement, you name it! We’ll figure out what’s going on and fix it.
Cleaning a roof is not about keeping it looking clean, that’s just a nice benefit! Every roof must be cleaned regularly, or moss, algae, and lichen will destroy it.
Gutters are frustrating to maintain, and can cause major problems with your roof. We redesign gutter systems to make sure they are working with your roof, not against it.
Mission
Committed to excellence
Process
Quality materials, Quality experience. Every Time.
Adaptive Roofing was founded by Sean and Marina Sternberg on the famous principles of Lean Manufacturing. The Adaptive Roofing business model is centered around eliminating waste within the traditional roof replacement process by improving the approach to sales and project management. Having worked in construction for over a decade, Sean observed that homeowners in Washington did not have access to the opportunity to purchase a roofing system designed specifically around what is important to them, so Marina and Sean decided to open a company that would offer any shingle, any quality, and any price to every customer, where the only thing that didn’t change from project to project was the standard of quality.
The key to our process is that every phase is handled by the same project manager assigned to meet with you when you first make an appointment. At no point are our clients “handed off” between departments.
The Adaptive Roofing process is:
Your assigned project manager will meet you at your home to inspect the roof and attic to determine why the existing roofing system has failed. Many times, roofing has simply worn out, and we want to make sure to catch and correct any damage to the substrate before installing the new roof. However, many times, there are other causes of roof failure such as improper installation around unique features of a house. By performing a complete inspection, not only do we capture all the cost of the project upfront and eliminate the risk of surprises, but we gain an understanding of how to install a roofing system that is specifically tailored to your home.
Roof replacement is our specialty, and most of our clients have never had to replace their roof before. Once the project manager has understood and documented the failures of the existing roof, they will sit down with you and make sure your questions are completely answered. This has many benefits, as it allows us to explain why we will use certain components in our roof replacement process and their importance, and it allows our clients to become more informed as to what elements of the roofing system installation are particularly important to consider.
The goal of every meeting is to find the perfect solution for the client. For some, this is the cheapest solution available to them; for others, it’s about finding something that will last forever; for most of our clients, it’s something in between. That’s the importance of choosing a roofing company that Adapts to you.
Once our clients decide they have found their balanced solution, the project manager will go over the scope of work and the components that were included with the system. This is also the time where they will go over any steps that should take place before the project begins, such as moving any items to avoid risk of damage during installation.
Now the real work begins! Your project manager will be ordering the roofing materials and communicating with you about when they will arrive to your home and be loaded onto the roof. The appropriate roofing team based on the type of system will also be scheduled for a date within a few days of when the materials arrive.
When the roofing team arrives to begin the project, the project manager will be present to ensure that the foreman understands the details of the installation. The installation of a roof can be loud and messy, but proper planning and communication ahead of time make sure the process is contained. Many of our clients enjoy watching the roofing work take place, but it is very important that instructions on safety are strictly followed to make sure there is no risk of injury. Then, please enjoy the transformation!
Although many things make Adaptive Roofing unique, the Completion Phase of our process is what truly sets us apart.
Quality is not something we hope for; it is something we demand.
When a roof is completed, the foreman will perform an initial inspection of the roof and completion photos are sent to the project manager. They will then schedule a time where the project manager will meet you at your home and perform a final inspection on the finished installation to make sure that everything was completed as discussed.
