Roofing Services in Gig Harbor, WA

Chase Construction North West

Known as “the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula,” Gig Harbor is both a bay on the Puget Sound and city in Pierce County.  Exiting from Interstate 5 onto State Route 16, Gig Harbor is located across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Many cities along the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest are popular destinations because of the natural beauty and growing economy.  Gig Harbor stands out as a maritime city with its historic waterfront and multiple state and city parks.

With a population of 12,029 by the 2020 census and the heavy winds from the Puget Sound, many homes in Gig Harbor need new roofs.  Whether its roof replacement or repair, we would love to help you.

There are 3 main types of roofing systems best suited for Gig Harbor homeowners, and we install them all:

–        Architectural composition shingles

–        Standing seam metal panels

–        Single-ply TPO membrane (for roofs with very little slope to them)

We install the most reliable versions of each of this.  Architectural composition shingles are the most popular, and the best kind you can get is GAF Timberline HDZ with the Golden Pledge warranty.  You can read about Timberline HDZ here and the Golden Pledge warranty here.

We’ve been in business since 2002 and have a wealth of experience with every shingle manufacturer available in the region.  GAF stands above them all because of its time-tested shingle and its user-friendly and reliable warranty.  Only its Master Elite contractors use the best quality roofing products and can provide the Golden Pledge warranty.  Dependability is one of the most important qualities for a roofing contractor.  As Master Elite since 2011 and President’s Club members, we are the most reliable contractor working with GAF.

GAF has multiple shingle options that include the popular designer shingles Grand Sequioa and Grand Canyon.  Along with Timberline HDZ, these shingles have spectacular performance for Gig Harbor. Most importantly, GAF has robust infrastructure dedicated to its Golden Pledge warranty, so if there is ever an issue, they have it taken care of in a timely fashion.  Many warranties exist in the roofing industry that aren’t worth the paper they’re written on, but the Golden Pledge is the most reliable warranty we’ve seen.

Standing seam metal panels are also a popular option for Gig Harbor homeowners.  There are some unique benefits for metal panels above any other roofing type.  The metal can be expected to last as long as the house it’s installed on, and the “standing seam” is a panel with hidden fasteners so there are no penetrations through which leaks can develop in the metal over time.

Even though longevity of composition shingle roofs has increased over the decades, they don’t compare to metal panels.  Where you may replace a shingle roof every 20 to 30 years, you’d only installed one metal panel system to last the life of the house. Even though upfront cost is higher for standing seam metal panels, over a lifetime they can be less expensive than any other type of roof.  When it comes to long-term savings and eco-friendliness, metal roofing is the best way to go.

Nu Ray Metals makes the best panels for the Puget Sound, with a 40 year finish warranty.  The designs are beautiful and many people prefer the aesthetic to shingles.  Metal roofing is labor intensive and requires significant expertise.  We have a tremendous amount of experience installing them.

A not uncommon characteristic of Gig Harbor homes is roofs with a low-slope section.  Some roofers will just install shingles or metal on these sections, but that is bad practice.  A low pitched roof needs a special type of membrane roofing, otherwise it will easily leak.  GAF EverGuard TPO is the best roofing membrane we work with.

Sometimes TPO installations are simple, but other times they can be quite complex.  Many factors need to be considered for low slope roofs that don’t for steep slope roofs, like condensation issues due to lack of an attic for ventilation.
