Team McMains Takes 1st Place At Annual RCAW Skeet Shooting Competition

4/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
As long-standing members of the roofing community McMains Roofing is very consistent in participating in any Roofing Contractor Association events that are held. From the Winter Gala to the Salmon Derby to the Golf Tournament and the newer addition of the NW Tradeshow and Skeet Shoot competition. By attending and participating we partner with an organization and community that fights for our industry on a legal level and helps bring awareness to key issues we face as roofing contractors in Washington State.
​
If any of you follow or know us, the family of owners at McMains Roofing, (Steve & Cathy McMains) you know we are avid sportsmen. We are intentional at rewarding our employees by building a culture of unity through hunting and fishing. That is clearly reflected when you see that we often have family or employees place or win the RCAW sportsmen oriented competitions. A few years back we took first place at the Salmon Derby, this year we took 1st place at the skeet shooting competition!
Picture
Our crack-shot team of Phil McMains and Juan Zuniga really cleaned house with incredibly high scores in every round. They made team McMains proud by winning and having bragging rights with our name on the RCAW competition trophy for the next year. 

We at McMains Roofing will continue to show strong support for the RCAW and enjoy the various amazing events they host every year. We would like to give a big shout out to the entire board of directors, so many have put in a lot of hard work to advance the advocacy and value of the association for the local contractor base. Special thanks and recognition goes to Tracy Prociw, who has put so much work into elevating the entire program and organization. She is retiring this year to care for her husband and we want to make sure that she knows her hard work and success has not gone unnoticed. There is a very significant difference in the value of the RCAW from the day you took it over until now.
We look forward to enjoying the RCAW and competing in the spirit of fun for years to come!

See How Your New Malarkey Roofing System Will Help Sustain The Environment 

Picture
It is all of our responsibility to make sure we do everything we can to pass on a beautiful earth to future generations. As members of industry this is a very important topic as many of the products and technologies that make life simpler and more convenient are often dangerous to manufacturer without proper oversite. It's a delicate balancing act to make sure that both economy and environmental protections are advanced with each other in mind. 

That is one of the reasons we appreciate Malarkey Roofing products! They are one of the key roofing brands we install due to the innovative and environmentally friendly process they use. 
Sustainability At Malarkey 
Picture
Malarkey has a history of pioneering sustainable products in the roofing industry. They were the first to create the rubberized (SBS modified) roofing shingle known as the Alaskan. It was designed to survive in the harsh Alaskan terrain. It worked so well they extended the line to the super thick Legacy shingle and then eventually converted all of their additional shingle lines to rubberized products with their new NextGen modified asphalt. 

NextGen asphalt utilizes recycled content such as tires and milk jugs in the asphalt to help reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills. 

Malarkey also utilizes a special granule from 3M that sucks pollutions out of the air and transforms them into safe molecules that are clean and helpful for the environment. For the conscious consumer this is a great product that not only protects your home but also protects your family into future generations!
Malarkeys New Sustainability Calculator Allows You To See The Environmental Impact Of Your New Roof
As a certified Malarkey contractor we have access to a new tool we are super excited about! They have created a calculator that shows us how much recycled content and the impact every roof we install will have on the environment. Let's use our office roof as an example. We installed the Malarkey Windsor roofing shingle on our shop. It's the heavyweight designer roof out of Malarkey's product offering. Check out the sustainability calculation below: 
This is an amazing opportunity to see how your upcoming reroof can impact the environment. If your interested in a free roofing estimate and having sustainable roofing calculations provided to you please contact us today!

Why Our History Is Better Than A Manufacturer Material Warranty

3/23/2022

Busting The Roofing Material Warranty Myth

Picture
​Today on this episode of myth busters we will tackle the issue of manufacturer warranty versus protection that comes from the longevity of the contractor. We live in a high-speed bells and whistles society. Warranties and upgraded warranties are available on everything, for a price. From toasters to electronics to construction materials you may purchase extra protection on your new item. While these warranties certainly have value, we would like to explain why working with a contractor that has been in business for decades has more value than most manufacturer shingle warranties. 

​What Do Most Shingle Warranties offer?

Standard Material Warranty
  • A nuts and bolts break down of the average shingle warranty is as follows:
  • Limited lifetime warranty: Material defect only warranty that protects against shingle failure created by a manufacturing issue for as long as the original purchasing homeowner lives in the house.
  • Typically carry a 10 year non prorated time frame for most manufacturers. This means that the warranty coverage is 100% replacement of materials for the first 10 years. From year 11 and thereafter the value of the warranty reduces every year.
  • Most standard material warranties are not transferrable.
  • Most warranty issues are discovered in the first few years after the roof is installed and 90% or more of the time the issue is due to improper installation. 
Upgraded System Warranty
  • An upgraded system warranty extends the non prorated coverage to a full 50 years. That means if the materials fail on year 22 you will get 100% reimbursement to replace the cost of the roof.

​Now here is the crux of the situation, these warranties definitely offer value, especially if you are going to be living in your home for a long time. The warranty game however is banking on very consistent data and statistics. The fact is that the average homeowner only lives in a house for about 7 years. A very very small percentage of them will take the time to fill out the paperwork to transfer the warranty to the next homeowner. Therefore most of the warranties become nearly worthless. That is why they can offer long lifetime warranties, it’s a numbers game. With that being said, you can see why placing your trust in a contractor that has been in business and operating in integrity for along time holds a lot of value. 
Picture
​
​Contractor Longevity, The Best Protection For Your Home & Family

Now that you have a clear picture of how warranties work and how flimsy they can be lets talk about the type of contractor that can actually protect you. First off, understand that 80% of roofing contractors go out of business within the first two years of opening their doors. That’s right, 8 out of 10 that open their doors and are installing roofs this year will not be here in two years. We are not trying to push fear, these are simply the industry facts and statistics. If you are going to lean on a contractor that has the integrity to not only install a proper roofing system but also backs up their work when it fails, you need to choose a contractor with history in the market. That is why McMains Roofing is one of your very best choices in Tacoma and the Puget Sound region. We have nearly 3 decades of dedicated service under our belts with our original contractor license. Many roofers go out of business and start up over and over again but continue to fail leaving homeowners without protection with something goes wrong or their roof fails. Due to these very real scenarios we can confidently say that your very best and safest choice to protect your home during a reroof is to hire a contractor that has a minimum of 10 years in business. During that time frame they will have established a reputation and a history that will tell you if they are willing to provide customers with the protection and warranty services. 

Picture

​Contractor Workmanship Warranty
Many roofing contractors offer a workmanship warranty, that is how long they are willing to fix or replace the roof at no cost to the homeowner if something fails. This warranty has teeth and value so to speak, as long as the roofer has a history in the market of honoring those warranties. At McMains Roofing we offer a standard 5-year workmanship warranty, but more importantly WE WILL STAND BEHIND OUR WORK FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE ROOF! If your McMains Roofing system fails at any time due to improper installation we are simply going to take care of it, no matter what year it is. That is why we are not only still in business, but have earned the amazing reputation we have in the market. 

Because we have been in business for so long our warranty is a bedrock of protection you can count on, and our family name is the seal of our bond.
​
As a certified roofing contractor with many brands, we are able to offer extended warranties on most shingle products, and in the right situation they have value, but none of them offer what we offer as a family owned business serving the Puget Sound for nearly 3 decades as McMains Roofing.
If you have questions about our roofing services or warranty protection call is today, we would be happy to discuss the McMains Roofing standard for your home or business!

Best Multi Family Roofing Contractor

McMain's Roofing, Your Leading Multi Family Roofing Contractor In The Puget Sound

Picture
McMain's Roofing Specializes In Multifamily Roofing
Not all roofing contractors are created equal. Each business has areas of service and capabilities based on their training and experience. For instance some local Tacoma roofing contractors specialize in residential reroof only. They install a great asphalt shingle roof on average size homes. Others focus on large commercial flat roofing that are tens of thousands of square feet. McMains Roofing is unique in that we are extremely diverse in our experience level across the roofing systems and types. Our 3 decades of experience has provided time and opportunity to become experts in all types of roofing. One area that we have been able to really grow into and specialize in is multi family roofing.

What Is A Multi Family Roofing Project
Multifamily structures are buildings that house multiple families such as apartment buildings, condos & retirement centers. They can range from a two unit duplex to a unit that has 40-50 apartment units in one building. Due to the potential size and scope of these projects they often require specialized insurances, crew size, tools and installation methods that the average residential reroof contactor may not possess.
For instance projects over a certain size will require additional insurance coverage and bonding that costs tens of thousands of dollars more than standard residential insurance. Not every contractor can afford the extra insurance so they stay out of the arena all together. McMain's Roofing is properly insured to provide multifamily reroof services which protects our clients. Please be sure to double check and make sure your potential roofers have the correcting bonding and insurance before considering having them provide pricing on your larger projects. Often times they don’t understand the extra costs involved in the proper credentials which can reflect in their price. While initially the price looks incredible, when you dig in you will often find that the proper  credentials were not in place. This can set an unrealistic price expectation and falls in line with the old saying “if it seems to good to be true, it often is.” At McMain's Roofing we provide value, a combination of the protection you deserve, a fair price and the quality of install that Property Managers across the Puget Sound of enjoyed for three decades. 
Picture
Other nuances of multi family roofing are the tools and logistics. Due to the difficult access of the buildings including carports, tenant vehicles, distance of the roof from the access points and multistory building height. The tear off and disposal of the existing roofing system can be dangerous. With tenants walking around special safety set up on the ground is often required to make sure everyone is protected from falling debris. We often use  specialized chutes that can take the waste from the roof top right into the back of our dump truck for safe disposal. These logistics and special safety set ups should be a huge consideration when interviewing contractors for the job. Make sure you have that discussion with any potential vendors taking a look at the job for you.

Our History With Property Management & Multifamily Roofing Projects In The Puget Sound
When it comes to multi family roofing in the Puget Sound, few do it at the level that Mcmains Roofing does. In fact we service many of the key Property Management agencies in the region based strictly on our experience and reputation in this area. We help our clients manage dozens of properties a year through maintenance packages, cleanings and key repairs to extend the life of their roofs and value based replacements when the time comes. Hands down we are the name you can trust for large apartment, condo and multi family roofing.

Woodinville Presidential Shake TL Install
​
As a Woodinville Roofing contractor it was amazing watching the transformation on this new Presidential Shake TL re-roof.

We installed a CertainTeed full roofing system including ice and water shield to protect the most leak prone areas, color matched and regular starter shingles for wind uplift, Presidential Shake TL field shingles, Mountain Ridge high profile ridge cap shingles and all new venting and sheet metal flashings. Our customer went with the Aged Bark color option which perfectly accented their home design.

Before
After
McMains Roofing has been serving the roofing needs of University Place, WA and the Puget Sound for three decades. It is a family dream to provide top quality roofing services at an affordable price, that is why this family-owned business has been around for so long. We have completed many jobs recently but wanted to highlight a beautiful Pabco Premier roof we installed in University Place, WA. Pabco is manufactured right here in Tacoma, WA. We love partnering with Pabco and installing their products because they are quality shingles and we get to support the local economy.

As you can see from the before photos this roof was covered with heavy moss and some tree branches! The algae block in Pabco shingles will help to keep blue/green algae off the roof which is a food source for moss. With the moss on the existing roofing system, it makes for a dramatic before and after photos. This home and family will be protected by a limited lifetime warranty. Our client went with the color weather wood which accents their home beautifully.
​​At McMains Roofing we always install a full roofing system which includes ice and water shield in the critical areas such as the valleys, perimeter edge metal, starter shingles, field shingles and new accessories for ventilation and plumbing. For the price point and quality, we offer we believe we are the best value around for a new roof in University Place, WA.
