Metal Roofing on Lopez Island

“I'm buying a place on Lopez and my agent wants a roof report before closing. Can you get out there and turn it around fast?”

Yes — real-estate roof reports are something we do a lot of on the islands. We inspect the roof, flashing, and accessible deck, photograph everything, and give you a written report you can hand your agent and lender. We prioritize these so they don't hold up your closing, even on Lopez or the outer islands.

“My place sits out in open pasture and the wind just hammers the ridge and the rake edges. How do you keep a roof from lifting out here?”

Exposed, open sites need a tighter fastening schedule and proper edge-metal detailing — that's where uplift starts. On metal we increase clip density at the perimeter and ridge; on shingles we hand-seal the perimeter courses and use a higher wind-rated product. It's a detailing problem, and it's exactly the kind of exposure we build for here.
