• Before You Buy

• How do I choose the right roofing company?

  We started ACME Roofing to provide honest, high-quality roofing services to our community. For two decades, we’ve delivered expert craftsmanship and reliable solutions to homes and organizations across Pierce County. Here are a few tips to help you select a legit roofer:

  Licensing and Insurance: Make sure the company is licensed and carries liability and worker’s compensation insurance.

  For instance, ACME is licensed, bonded, and insured. 

  Experience and Reputation: Look for a company with a proven track record and positive customer reviews.

  For instance, ACME has over two decades of experience and 90+ 5 star Google reviews.

  Warranties: Ask about workmanship and material warranties offered.

  For instance, ACME has both workmanship and manufacturer warranties. 

  Communication: Choose a company that is responsive and clearly communicates throughout the project.

  For instance, ACME prioritizes efficient and responsive communication with our clients from project start to finish– it’s kind of what we’re known for!

  Materials: Ensure that the products your roofing contractor uses on your roof are quality and have manufacturer warranties.

  For instance, ACME uses only the best in industry materials from reputable brands including Malarkey Roofing Products, Owens Corning, PABCO Roofing Products, and Nu-Ray Metals. 

• Should I replace my roof before I sell my house?

  It depends. A damaged or aging roof can certainly deter potential buyers and may affect the selling price of your home.

  Here are some signs you may need to repair or replace a roof before selling:

  • Buckling shingles
  • Cracked shingles
  • Sagging roof 
  • Leaks
  • Recent wind or hail damage

  However,  if your roof is still in good condition and has a remaining lifespan of several years,  it may not be essential to replace it before selling.

• Maintenance and Inspections

• How often should I have my roof inspected?

  We recommend having your roof inspected by a professional at least once a year, preferably before the rainy season in the Pacific Northwest. This allows for early detection of any potential problems and can prevent them from becoming more serious and expensive repairs down the road.

  ACME provides roof maintenance services to homeowners in Tacoma and surrounding areas so you can feel good about the investment you make into extending the life of your roof.

• How do I know if my roof needs a repair?

  You should consider a roof repair if you notice signs such as leaks, mold growth, mildew development, torn, lifted, or missing shingles, damaged flashing, water damage, or cracks in a flat roof. ACME Roofing’s experienced team can assess your roof’s condition and recommend the necessary repairs.

• The Roof Replacement Process

• When do I need a new roof?

  Getting a new roof is a huge investment, we get it. So it’s a smart idea to understand when it becomes a necessity for the safety and comfort of your home to replace your roof.

  The good news? You can inspect it yourself before reaching out to the experts by looking for a couple key things:

  Shingle condition: Look for curled edges, bald spots with missing granules, cracked shingles, or overall aging and wear.

  Roof age: Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20-25 years. Consider a replacement if your roof is nearing that age, especially if you see neighbors getting new roofs.

  Visible problems: Look for dark streaks (algae growth), moss growth, or leaks in your attic or on the ceiling.

  You can also give us a call at (253) 564-2292 if you want us to confirm if a roof replacement is necessary. We’ll help you assess your roof’s condition and recommend the best course of action. No pressure ever.

• How much does a new roof cost?

  The average cost of a new roof can vary between $8,000-$15,000 in Washington state. This estimate varies so much because there are quite a few factors affecting the price such as:

  Size and slope of your roof: Larger and steeper roofs require more materials and labor, increasing the cost.

  Roofing materials chosen: Asphalt shingles are typically the most affordable option, while metal roofs can be more expensive.

  Complexity of the job: Roofs with multiple sections, skylights, or chimneys may require additional work and materials.

  Labor costs: Rates can vary depending on your location and the roofing company you choose.
