RoofSmart was founded 14 years ago by CEO Jim Singleterry after he worked in the gutter guard industry for years and noticing the that 90% of the roofs he came across were done wrong.
We’re talking insufficient attic ventilation, improper flashing and incorrect shingle installation. You name it, Jim saw it a lot. After a while, the prevalence of poor roof installation got to Jim. He’d seen enough.
So in 2011, he decided to create a different kind of roofing company with John and Nestor: one that took the time to treat roof installation with the care and acuity that it required and that Greater Seattle homeowners deserved. That company was RoofSmart.
Old shingles, recurring leaks, moss growth and rising energy bills—when your roof starts breaking down, it’s not just annoying. It’s risky. Seattle’s wet climate is unforgiving, and waiting too long to replace your roof can lead to serious water damage, mold and costly structural issues.
That’s why at RoofSmart, we treat roof replacement like the major home upgrade it is. We don’t just tear off and re-nail—we carefully evaluate your home, recommend the best roofing material for Seattle’s climate and install it with meticulous attention to every single detail. From architectural shingles to metal, cedar shake and beyond, we’ll walk you through your options and nerd out on the best choice for your home.

When the roof on your Seattle area commercial or multi-family building fails, the problems multiply fast: water damage, mold complaints, insurance battles and angry tenants. The worst part? Many of these issues are preventable, caused by rushed installations, cheap materials or roofers who don’t understand the complexities of commercial buildings in a climate like Seattle’s. It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting. And it puts your investment at risk.
At RoofSmart, we don’t follow the status quo. We study it, then do it better. Every project starts with a detailed plan, not a guess. Our in-house team installs high-performance roofs with meticulous care and attention to detail.
