Habitat For Humanity Project In Tacoma WA

Mear's Roofing Installs New Premium Roofing System For Habitat For Humanity 

Picture
Picture
Mear's Roofing, a community contractor AT YOUR SERVICE! Every year we show our appreciation to the community by giving back. We do this by helping a private party in need or in some cases partnering with larger organizations such as Tacoma-Pierce County Habitat For Humanity. This year we partnered with HFH on a great duplex project in Tacoma. 

When we donate a roof for a cause we provide all of the material and labor at zero cost to the owner. On this particular project we partnered with CertainTeed Roofing products who provided the asphalt shingles. Not only did they provide the material, they upgraded us from a standard Landmark roofing shingle to a Landmark Pro! That means the customer will get a heavier, thicker shingle with a high definition color enhancement.

Every project comes with its own unique challenges. On this particular project the material was warehoused down in Portland, OR. We had a very small window of time to get the material up to Tacoma and loaded on the roof so we could install it within our schedule allowance. 

Our distribution partner SRS Building Supply/Stoneway Roofing Supply stepped up to the plate. Our sales representative drove down to Portland in his personal vehicle and picked up the 9,500 lbs worth of material to ensure we had it on time!

Landmark Pro Roofing Shingles 
Picture
Here is a little bit of information about the Landmark Pro shingle from CertainTeed's website: 

CertainTeed's Landmark PRO shingles are a premium roofing option that combines durability and aesthetic appeal. These shingles are engineered with a multi-layer design, featuring a fiberglass base and protective outer layer, providing superior impact resistance. The shingles also feature StreakFighter® algae resistance, ensuring they are resistant to unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth.

Landmark PRO shingles are designed to provide excellent protection against the elements, with an Underwriters Laboratories Class A fire resistance rating, making them a top choice for homeowners who prioritize safety. The shingles' heavy weight and unique design provide added resistance against weather damage and algae, making them a reliable option for homeowners looking for a long-lasting roofing solution. They are also classified as UL 2218 Class 3 Impact Rated.

These shingles come in a variety of colors, ensuring that homeowners can find the perfect match for their home's aesthetic. The shingles' multi-layer design provides superior protection against the weather, helping to ensure that the roof remains in good condition and well-protected ag
ainst the elements.

We are grateful that our amazing customers and awesome vendor partners can all help us to be in a position to serve our community in Tacoma-Pierce County. Help us to continue the giving by referring us to your friends and family as well as keeping us in mind on any future roofing projects.

Don't Delay Critical Roof Repairs

1/23/2025

Picture
One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a home owner is putting off needed repairs on your home. People often delay getting critical home repairs taken care of out of concern for how much it will cost or they push it to a future date when it might be more convenient. 

When it comes to roof leaks or water intrusion of any kind its critical to act fast. For example, a minimal roof repair such as a broken vent or pipe boot that is allowing water to enter your home might cost around $600 to fix. If a slow leak is allowed to persist for 6 months the moisture in the attic can become the perfect environment for dangerous attic molds. 

The cost to now remove all of the mold properly and replace any drywall, structural and cosmetic repairs can be in the thousands or tens of thousands. Most importantly it can cost you your health. 

If you have a roof leak don't wait to get it fixed. Mears roofing has fast and affordable repair options and we also offer financing for those larger projects. 

Signs Of A Leaking Roof 
​Dripping water: Dripping water from the ceiling is a sign of a leaking roof. 
  • Condensation: Condensation on nails or other surfaces can indicate a leaking roof. 
  • Damaged insulation: Damaged insulation, such as holes, dampness, or stains, can indicate a leaking roof. 
  • Water stains: Water stains on ceilings or walls are a common sign of a leaking roof. These stains can be yellow or brown. 
  • Mold: Mold growth in the attic or on the ceiling is a sign of a leaking roof. Mold needs moisture to grow. 
  • Missing or damaged shingles: Missing or cracked shingles can indicate a leaking roof. 
  • Damaged flashing: Damaged flashing can be caused by improper installation or aging. 
  • Rusted gutters: Rust on gutters and downspouts can indicate prolonged exposure to moisture. 
  • Sagging roof deck: A sagging roof deck can be caused by water damage, poor drainage, or natural wear and tear. ​​

TPO Roofing Installation On Seattle Commercial Building's 

Picture
There is a term that gets thrown around loosely in the roofing industry. "We specialize in all types of roofing." You may have seen a roofing advertisement here and there with that terminology used. Finding roofing contractors that actually specialize in all types of roofing is pretty rate these days. There are really three main categories of roofing that are considered "main categories," they are asphalt shingles, metal and flat roofing. There are residential and commercial applications and different product types within these structures but these 3 roofing types make up pretty much every roofing category. 

Mear's Roofing has been installing roofing for over two decades and has been operating as a licensed Seattle roofing contractor for 14 years. We truly do specialize in all three of the primary roofing types. 

This Summer we completed two large flat commercial roofing projects in Seattle, WA. We removed the existing roofing systems and installed new vapor barrier, polyiso insulation and GAF Energy Guard 60 mil TPO. 

GAF TPO carries a 20 year warranty. With our experience we ensure that the manufacturer specifications and requirements for warranty are adhered to. We understand the intricacies of roofing in the Puget Sound and how to combat condensation issues on flat roofs here.

Mear's Roofing Updates Tacoma's Historic Immanuel Presbyterian Church With A New Malarkey Roofing System 

Picture

Tacoma's Best Community Contractor Is Mear's Roofing, Here's Why!

In any organization there are fundamental principals which is drive the personality style of the business and culture. Some business are focused on profits over people. They characteristically are high pressure sales organizations that only care about maximizing profits versus providing a home owner with an experience that leaves them feeling great while offering a fair and responsible price. Those types of companies often charge way over the "fair market price," because they are not community minded contractors.

At Mear's Roofing we work very hard to demonstrate and live out our mission, which is to be a community contractor. In our opinion a community contractor focuses on serving the people well and making that the first priority. Do we need to make money for the business, well of course we do! But we have learned if you truly care for the people in the community and serve well the money side will work itself out. You can always count on us to provide our people with excellent products, warranties, workmanship and at a price that works for both us and our clients.  

Immanuel Presbyterian ReRoof 

One of the neat things about having a strong bond within the community that you work is the trust that is built. Because of our reputation we get the opportunity to partner with alot of historical building organizations and community organizations. One of our recent projects is the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Tacoma. This church has an amazing historical place in the city which makes this a very special community project for our team here at Mear's Roofing. Here is a snippet of the church's history: 
"​Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, Washington has a rich history that includes its founding in 1888 and its location in the North Slope neighborhood:
  • Founding
    Immanuel Presbyterian Church was established in 1888, making it one of Tacoma's oldest religious organizations that is still in operation.
  • Location
    The church is located in the North Slope neighborhood, which was developed in part by streetcar systems between 1880 and 1940. The neighborhood was home to a diverse population, including workers and the middle class, as well as some of Tacoma's Black leaders.
  • Window
    The church's altar features a large window that was installed in 1950 and depicts the Sermon on the Mount. It also includes symbols of the four evangelists and was created by D'Ascenzo Studios of Philadelphia.

Roof Replacement With Malarkey Vista Shingles 

The church chose to install Malarkey Roofing's Vista shingle in the color Heather on their historic building. This shingle is a "rubberized" asphalt laminate shingle with so many amazing features including: 
  • 50 year limited lifetime warranty.
  • Nexgen rubberized asphalt made from asphalt mixed with upcycled tires and other plastics which are diverted from landfills. 
  • 3M granule coating technology that cleans the air! A 3000 square foot roof is like planting 2 trees in a community as far as air impact. So amazing. 
  • The historically famous tapered nail line.
