About us
Island roofers, not island visitors
We live and work in the San Juan Islands. San Juan, Orcas, Lopez & Shaw Islands — plus the outer islands of San Juan County.
San Juan Roofing Co. was built on a simple idea: island roofs deserve island roofers. The mainland companies that ferry over don’t live with our salt air, our 40 inches of rain, or the west-side wind — and it shows in the roofs they leave behind and the quotes that balloon mid-job when they “discover” the ferry costs.
We’re different because we’re here. We know which coastal-rated metal holds up near the water, why the north slope under the firs grows moss, and how to schedule a re-roof around ferry reservations so it finishes on time. We give honest repair-vs-replace advice because on a small island, your reputation is the whole business.
From Friday Harbor to Waldron, from a single leak to a full standing-seam roof, we do it right the first time — and we put the warranty in writing.

Credentials & expertise
Licensed, bonded & insured (WA)
A licensed Washington roofing contractor, fully bonded and insured. We know San Juan County code and pull the permits your job requires.
Island-based, not island-visiting
We live and work in the San Juan Islands. Ferry logistics, salt air, and west-side wind aren’t surprises to us — they’re Tuesday.
Coastal-rated systems
Certified installers of marine-grade metal and full manufacturer shingle systems engineered for saltwater proximity and heavy rain.
Workmanship warranty
Every re-roof carries our workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty — the terms are in writing with your estimate.
10+ years on these roofs
A decade-plus of San Juan County roofs means we’ve seen how each material actually ages here — and we spec accordingly.
Rainwater-catchment aware
Many island homes collect rainwater. We install and detail roofs that keep collected water clean and your system happy.
How we work
- 1
Call & free inspection
Call (360) 205-1462. We schedule a free on-island inspection — including the outer islands — and take a real look at your roof, flashing, and deck.
- 2
Honest assessment & written estimate
We show you photos of what we found, explain repair-vs-replace in plain language, and give you a written estimate with clear material options — no pressure.
- 3
Logistics & scheduling
We lock ferry reservations, stage materials by the load, and put you on the calendar. For outer islands we plan a single efficient mobilization.
- 4
Installation, done right
Our crew tears off, repairs the deck, and installs your system to manufacturer spec with proper flashing, underlayment, and ventilation.
- 5
Cleanup & walkthrough
We haul the old roof off-island, magnet-sweep for nails, and walk the finished job with you. Then your workmanship warranty is in writing.
Our promises
Free inspections & estimates
On-island roof inspections and written estimates are always free. You never pay to find out what your roof needs.
No high-pressure sales
We recommend the repair when a repair is right — even when a replacement would earn us more. Honest guidance is the whole business model on a small-island reputation.
Written scope & pricing
Every estimate spells out the material, scope, and price in writing, including the island logistics. No surprise change orders mid-job.
Insurance-claim support
We document storm and wind damage with photos, provide adjuster-ready reports, and can work directly with your insurer.
Clean, respectful jobsites
We protect landscaping, magnet-sweep for nails, and haul debris off-island. We leave your property the way we’d want ours left.
Warranty in writing
Manufacturer material warranty plus our workmanship warranty on every re-roof — documented, not verbal.
