"First, I want to say that I don’t generally provide reviews or recommendations. Marquez roofing is an exception. Martin and his crew went above and beyond to expertly replace 2 roof’s on my waterfront homes. One was a standard comp roof with steep pitch. They replaced with quality 30 yr shingle and also removed a crumbling brick chimney and added extra ventilation in the process. They finished both replacements in February between back to back winter storms in less than 4 days. The workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. The 2nd roof was a typical PNW “flat” roof structure on a MIL cabin that had been problematic over many years. He recommended replacing the black asphalt roofing with a better quality and longer lasting white TPO roofing material. It was an excellent choice. He included adequate ventilation (which was missing) and replaced ONLY the failing OSB underlayment with quality plywood. I watched and inspected their workmanship throughout and was impressed with their craftsmanship and especially appreciative because there was a very short time span between winter storms. He and his crew worked into the final frigid evening with lights to ensure completion before the heavy snow that fell early the next morning. This flat roof had always presented challenges and it performed magnificently during that snowstorm. After the fact, due to a miscommunication on my part about how I wanted the edges of this flat roof to be raised so water didn’t fall off to the sides, Martin came up with a quality solution and returned to make my vision a reality and only for the cost of materials. He was genuinely vested in my vision as it this was his own home. It has been nearly 3 years and this once problematic flat roof has performed flawlessly. The entire process from initial inspection, quote and installation was seamless and timely. As Project Manager, Destiny Marquez did an outstanding job of communicating throughout and setting expectations. The price was extremely competitive and it’s clear Martin and his crew care deeply about the quality of their work - true craftsmanship! I highly recommend them."

Pacific Exteriors LLC is a BBB A+ business, Owens Corning Platinum, and James Hardie Master Elite company. We are a proud winner of the annual James Hardie Presidents Club Award, the last 6 years in a row.
"I’m not quite sure what is taking so long to get any updates from this company. I’ve been waiting for an update on the siding being painted, touch ups they missed to be fixed, have their interior team fix the walls their crew punched nails through the wall, broke the frame of our kitchen window, and pick up the materials that have been blocking our driveway since the start of the project. It took them three weeks from the initial pick up date I was given for their team to pick up and confirm that the honey bucket had been taken from our property. Of course I had to call them to follow up and actually get it picked up. All of this to basically summarize that if you want your siding done in a timely manner and to work with a cohesive team that values communication and their customers as much as theirs salesman Brad told us they do, then find another company aside from Pacific Exteriors."

Award-winning Guardian Roofing, Gutters & Insulation has been serving the Puget Sound region with quality top-of-home solutions for almost twenty years. From the first call to the final installation report to ongoing warranty protection, the family-owned and operated company has earned the trust of manufacturers, customers, and team members in the communities they serve.
"Guardian advertises a "Gentle Wash" roof cleaning/moss removal process. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, they use an industrial strength air compressor and hire inexperienced, poorly trained, incompetent non-English speaking employees to perform this work. The result: While under a three (3) year contract, Guardian has destroyed my GAF 50 year guaranteed roof by shredding and removing the protective granules down to the asphalt itself. The damage is so extensive and widespread, it cannot be repaired. My roof needs to be entirely replaced at a cost of ~ $35K to $40K for a like kind of material. Guardian has attempted to mitigate the damage by inserting a new thin starter row shingle to "Hide" (not replace) the damage shingles around the entire perimeter of my home. This is an unacceptable remedy. I am awaiting for Guardian's attorney to respond to my request for compensation. Complaints also filed with BBB and the C of C."

A typical heat cable uses about 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses around 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.
Yes, you can install heat tape in your gutters to help melt ice and keep water flowing smoothly. The system is mounted securely above the gutter brackets so the tape warms the gutter surface and prevents ice buildup. Be sure to have a qualified professional install the heat tape using proper techniques and hardware to ensure optimal performance and protect your gutter system.
To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.
Both heated gutters and roof heating cables prevent ice buildup, but your choice depends on your roof design and aesthetic goals. Heated gutters provide a discreet solution that maintains your home’s exterior appeal, while roof heating cables offer powerful, widespread ice melting. Consider the installation requirements and energy needs to determine which system fits your property best.
Yes, roof heating cables prevent ice dams by quickly melting accumulated snow and ice along your roof edge. They create a warm channel that allows water to drain freely, eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams. This active ice-melting system protects your roof structure and minimizes the risk of water damage during severe winter weather.
Roof heating cables last between two and 10 years, depending on environmental exposure and installation quality. They're designed to work effectively for a period influenced by factors like climate severity, cable type, and how well you maintain them. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance can extend their lifespan and ensure continuous roof protection throughout winter.
