Public Works Roof Recover Project – Colville, Washington
I recently thought about last summer’s public works roofing project on the NorthEast Washington Alliance Counseling Services (NEWACS) Building in Colville, Stevens County, Washington.

Public School PVC Roof Recover Project Change Order
One thing I have learned during my time as the owner of Spokane Roofing Company is to prepare for change and change orders. A change order is a change to the contracted scope of work. When used sparingly, a change order can be the right project management tool for a successful commercial roofing project…

This year, I feel particularly good about the public works building renovation project at the Millwood Kindergarten Center, for both personal and professional reasons. I have deep ties to the Spokane Valley…
TPO Roofing Building Owner’s Guide (TPO 101)
Thermoplastic polyolefin or TPO is a single-ply membrane roofing system that has become the industry standard for commercial flat roofs since its development in the early 1990s. In my opinion, TPO is the best roofing product out there for reflective flat roofs. Spokane Roofing Company began transitioning to TPO…
Be Proactive About Your Roof
Better late than never is something you never hear a reputable commercial roofer say. If a building owner waits until something goes wrong with a roof, it might already be too late to save it. You must be proactive. Most building owners and property managers are smart; they know how to take care of their buildings. They either learned…
