Service Areas
Commercial roofing from Yakima, WA across the valley: downtown, Union Gap, Selah, Terrace Heights, the lower valley and the foothill towns, all weather.
The map matters on a storm night. A call from Union Gap and a call from Sunnyside can come within minutes of each other, and dispatch asks the same two questions of both: where exactly, and what is under the damage? Our crews work from Yakima, WA across the valley, from the retail roofs along the highways to the processing towns and the foothill communities, and each place brings its own building mix and its own exposure to snow and wind.
Start in the City and Its Closest Neighbors
Downtown Yakima centers on Front Street, Yakima Avenue and 1st Street, and its older buildings need condition reviews before any plan. Union Gap holds Valley Mall and the surrounding big-box retail, West Valley sits within greater Yakima, and Terrace Heights has added residents quickly over the last decade.
Each of these places has a different roof problem to solve. A retail roof in Union Gap is about tenants and rooftop units, and a roof in Terrace Heights, where newer commercial building is growing, is often about warranty status and keeping a young roof young.
Reach the Processing and Packing Towns
Selah is home to Tree Top's headquarters and apple processing plants and to the Sun-Rype juice plant, with fruit warehouses nearby. Moxee is hop country, with kilns, warehouses and processing buildings in a valley that grew about 77 percent of U.S. hops as of 2011.
Both are places where the roof sits over product, so the first visit begins with what is stored below and how soon the next load arrives.
Cover the Lower Valley Town by Town
Sunnyside is the second largest city in Yakima County, with a cheese factory and a place in the valley's wine economy. Grandview relies on processing plants and cold storage. Toppenish and Wapato lie on the Yakama Indian Reservation and bring schools, clinics and agriculture to the list.
Grandview is about 38 miles from Yakima, so we plan routes and book combined visits where owners hold buildings in more than one town. The late-November 2019 windstorm gusted to 53 mph in Sunnyside and 51 mph in Yakima, a reminder that the storm that reaches one end of the valley often reaches the other.
Plan for Height and Distance in the Upper Valley and Foothills
Places such as Naches, Nile and Tampico sit higher and farther out, where snow exposure and drive time both rise. The south Yakima airport district, about three miles south of the city, adds hangar and light-industrial roofs to the map.
Elevation changes the plan. Higher sites generally see more snow, so the parcel load on the permit is the number to read, not the city's. Foothill roofs get a pre-winter visit for drains, edges and fasteners, and a post-thaw visit for what the load did.
Commercial Roofing Questions
How far from Yakima do you work?
We cover the valley from the upper foothill towns to the lower valley. Distances change the arrival time, and we say so on the call. A recurring program reduces the number of long emergency drives.
Do you charge more for towns outside the city?
Travel time and access are factored into the proposal where they apply. Combining nearby buildings on one visit keeps that cost down.
Is the snow load the same across these towns?
No. Snow load belongs to the parcel, so each building has its own number on the permit or drawings, and higher sites generally see more snow.
Can one visit cover buildings in two towns?
Often. We plan routes along the corridor, and owners with buildings in neighboring towns can put them on one schedule and one record.
