Mears Roofing LLC

I recently had my roof replaced by Mears Roofing and found them to be very professional and responsive to my project and needs It was a pleasure doing business with a company that values workmanship and 100% customer satisfaction. It was evident from the initial contact and scheduling with jackie to all the way through the final installation. The owner, Ben, is knowledgeable and realistic in his recommendations of products and really took the time to understand my short and long term goals. He keeps close tabs on the work being completed by his crew, making sure that his customer gets what they are paying for. I will have no problem referring Mears Roofing to friends or family.

Good value. Honest people. Recommended.

We had a leak in our rental house the week of Thanksgiving after a big storm. I called and emailed 10 roofers and Mears Roofing was the only company that was willing to come and take a look at my roof to help me! I was desperate because the tenants were complaining about possible mold and no roofing companies were available or willing to do a smaller repair job. The Mears company was so compassionate and went out of their way to try and help me with the situation, even though it was out of the way for them and they were also booked with jobs. They came out and determined the roof was not leaking at all, and that the water intrusion wasn’t due to any faultiness of the roof, so even though they made the long trip to my house, they didn’t even charge me the $ 350 they had quoted. Even though I would have been willing to pay a trip fee out of gratitude. Super nice and I wish I lived in Kent so I could use this company more often. 5 stars for integrity and communication!

You were referred by a friend. I looked you up on Unilocal and you come up as #4 on the list for Maple Valley. I was sold. I called and you told me Maple Valley is outside your service area. What gives?

Mears Roofing is great! They were super easy to deal with and the structure of their repair pricing is very fair. I liked the piece of mind knowing they were going to either be able to fix it for the flat rate or provide an estimate. They were able to squeeze me in on a Friday afternoon because they were aware of the torrential downpour we were in store for that weekend. The repair worked and we were leak free. Their repair guy was very thoughtful, took all my tarps and wood anchoring them down off the roof for me, folded my tarps up and neatly stacked them and the wood in my garage. The office staff was wonderful too, after the initial return phone call they were fast on email and text and kept me informed of their schedule leading up to their arrival. Follow up after the repair was great, fast responses on email and return phone call when requested.

Charged me nearly $ 600 for a leak repair and did nothing. I had to call another roofer, who is now replacing the entire roof, and he showed me where Mears did exactly nothing other than stuff an 8 INCH X 12 piece of plastic in a small gulley. New roofer was disgusted at me being charged $ 600 for doing nothing.
His first attempt, he apparently did nothing, second attempt, he apparently put in the small rectangle of plastic. Leak got worse and cost me hundreds in interior ceiling repair.
I am having my roof replaced now, the new contractor pulled up the old one and showed me where Mears did exactly nothing other than put in that small piece of rubber/​plastic in a gulley on the roof.
Minimal effort to lift a few shingles clearly showed me, a non-​roofer, exactly where the leak was. He didn’t even do that.
Unbelievable — avoid!
He is probably looking to replace your whole roof, will just take your money for leaks or repairs and do nothing, like with me.

Ben, Emilee, and the rest of the Mears crew were a pleasure to work with. My roof is relatively new but it was not installed by a professional, so there were several issues that would eventually cause it to fail earlier than it should. I needed my attic ventilation redone along with some other minor repairs, and where other big companies you’ll find on Unilocal would not even come out for an estimate on my small job, Ben was more than happy to, and came within a couple days of contacting them. He showed me what needed to be fixed, what didn’t, and was very up front about it all. A week later, Ben and Mario showed up and spent two days on the job. The work itself was very professional, and I’m now confident I can get the full life out of my roof. If you’re looking for an honest, profesional, and quality roofing company I would definitely give Mears a call, regardless of the size of your job.

We had the best experience with these guys. Everyone was very personable and caring. Not only was the job perfectly done and of the highest quality, when we noticed some slight damage to our door, they went above and beyond to ensure that it was as good as new. It’s almost unfortunate that we won’t need a new roof for a long time. Thanks Ben, Jackie, and Emilee!

Mears roofing did a great job helping us with our gutters and cleaning/​inspecting our roof on our second home. They are very professional and thorough, thanks much!

I had such a great experience with Mears Roofing and I’m super happy I went with them.
My roof was in terrible shape before they came in and was leaking constantly. I had to keep a bucket in my house under the leak for the longest time and kept putting the repair off. So I finally gave in to having it fixed professionally. Mears was the first place I contacted because of all the great reviews I read on Unilocal.I first contacted them through their website and scheduled a roof estimation, free of charge, all online which was really easy and convenient because you can choose a time that fits your schedule. They say you don’t have to be home but I wanted to be there anyway.
I arrived home maybe a few minutes after the scheduled meeting but by the time I got home, they had already left. They came by early and was finished with the estimation before I even arrived! I called in right after and they had already drafted a quote for me. Since it was a bit out of my budget, I didn’t call back but they followed up with me a few days later. I told them my concerns and they said they couldn’t really do anything because of the condition of my roof, which was reasonable. After we hung up, they called again and offered to take the price down lower by using leftover materials they already had. I was really touched by their concern for my financial situation and they were great with communication. I took the offer and we scheduled the repair a couple weeks later.
They were very quick to respond and follow up with any questions/​concerns I had. The day they came, they didn’t need anything from me and even brought their own generator. I wasn’t even home most of the day so I wasn’t bothered by any noise. I came home to my house looking the same way I left it and my roof was completely fixed. Even the payment process was simple and easy. I’m very pleased I didn’t have to waste time shopping around for quotes. Mears did an amazing job!

Mears roofing is probably one of the top 3 in the Puget Sound area. They are true professionals and did amazing work, and didn’t turn their nose at me when I requested a small job– only about 260 sq ft for a patio roof. Other companies did. They understood my price limitations and were kind when they gave me a military discount of $ 500, which is more generous then Achtens or the other roofers I called; they basically laughed at me when I asked for a discount as I was strapped for money and needed my roof fixed before I was reassigned back to GA.
They also follow up on their work; while I was repairing my gutters I noticed debris and nails in them from the job the roofer must have forgotten. I called Mears back and told them about it, and they sent someone out a couple of days later to clean the gutters out, no questions asked. This saved me time to work on getting other things ready and they understood that, and we’re honestly ashamed their man had forgotten– their humbleness and service is a rarity in today’s business.

I called around a few roofers for a small project — install 2 anchors on my house roof and another 2 on my garage roof. Emily from Mears was super helpful on the phone, and provided a competitive quote. It was 10% lower than a second quote I got, and about 40% lower than a third quote. Also, her pricing was super ‘to the point.’ The company that was 10% higher was offering a range, where they’d have to come out and the price could have been higher. I am sure many jobs require an on-​site quote, but this one clearly didn’t and Mears was super transparent with me, offering a quote that did not fluctuate from the actual whatsoever.
Mears also was able to squeeze me in within 2 days. Not only this, but Emily gave me some advice on keeping my roof clean on my own. Clearly this is not to their advantage since it means my roof lasts longer, and I can do some of the work myself, but that didn’t bother her at all — she seemed genuinely concerned with saving me money and protecting my roof.
Arthur, the roof guy, came out and was great. He looked at both roofs and we discussed the best placement for the anchors. He got to work and I watched him all along, asking questions and learning from the process. It was also evident from looking at another anchor in the neighborhood what a correct installation was (anchors go underneath shingles like Mears did) versus an incorrect one (another house had the anchor on top of the shingles, which in watching Arthur, would take far less time to do). Mears did not cut corners and did it right. We also talked about ways to keep my roof clean, and he offered insight on another part of my roof that may need replacement in the next few years, giving a potentially far less expensive option when the time comes.
I had decided to have Arthur install only 1 anchor on the garage, and minutes after he left, I decided that I’d like another one installed after all to be on the safe side. I called Emily, and Arthur was back at my door in 5 minutes, smile on his face and happy to help.
I never felt like the job was «too small» for them — they were on top it, competitive on price, on time, and knew their stuff. So for future jobs, small or large, you bet I’ll be calling them back.
Good, honest company with attention to customer satisfaction and detail, all at a very fair price, and with very nice people.

We had our 23 year old roof replaced (yes that’s right — our roof could legally vote, gamble, smoke AND drink!) by this company and are so pleased with the results. We did our due diligence and looked around, using Unilocal as a baseline, and narrowed our results down to two companies (both with stellar reviews — I honestly do not believe we would have been disappointed with the other company, either). What drew us to Mears was all the five star reviews (obviously) with the few scattered one star reviews literally just complaining that nobody got back to them in a timely fashion/​dropped the ball on communication (seems kind of harsh, but maybe that’s just me).
Anyway, Ben contacted us the next business day after we emailed him so we were clearly over that hump, and we set an appointment for him to come out and look at the roof. He showed up when he said he would, looked at our roof, answered our questions and left a sample sheet of shingles for us to peruse. Later that evening we received his bid, which was competitive with the other company. I exchanged a few e-​mails with Jackie, asking questions about the process and options before deciding to use them for our re-​roof. They were quick — work started on our roof the following week after speaking with Ben about which color shingles we had decided on. The workers showed up at the appointed time and were quick to get to work (judging from all the stomping around on my roof :)) It’s also worth noting they were careful and considerate with the few pieces of lawn furniture I had outside, taking care to remove it out of the area so it couldn’t be damaged by falling debris.
Two days later (we don’t have a very large roof) our project was completed and Ben came back one last time to check things over and make sure his crew cleaned up to his satisfaction (removing nails, debris, etc.) We had also discussed reattaching some of the attic ducts that had fallen and since his crew had forgotten (Ben says he forgot to tell them), Ben went right up there and did it while he was doing his final inspection.
I personally came in contact with Ben, Jackie (his wife) and Emily (their office manager). I also had a brief interaction with one of his foremen (whose name is currently escaping me but I’m 90% sure it started with an «A»… Alejandro, maybe?). Everyone I interacted with from this company was professional, polite and pleasant (the three Ps!)
Hopefully I won’t need a roof for a long while (unless a hurricane carries it away or something) but I’m definitely recommending this company to all my friends and family, along with the good people of Unilocal.You won’t be disappointed if you choose this company.

Had a great experience with Mears roofing. I was impressed from the start. The owner Ben came the same day for a bid which was right in the same ballpark as the others. The shop gal, Emilee was great, answering all of my questions and following up.
When we called to schedule, Emilee managed to get a short notice delivery that day for work to begin the next morning.
The guys worked diligently all day and cleaned up and were gone. We have a beautiful new roof and Mears has a customer for life.

I had an emergency and had to have a roof repaired and Ben and Jackie were anazing, quick and very helpful. Had me taken care of within 24 hours. I would refer them to anyone who asked me about roofing needs.

Dave from Mears Roofing came over today to estimate work that needs to be done on our garage roof. Dave carefully inspected our roof and answered all my 100 questions. :) He checked and measured every corner of the roof and gave me honest advice on what needs to be repaired. Dave is very thorough and a true professional! I will definitely use Mears Roofing for my future «roofing issues» and will recommend them to my friends and relatives. Thank you, Dave!!!

We were in the midst of a refinance and found we needed attic venting and gutters and downspouts on our old home. The price and service we got through Mears was fantastic. We needed some work done quickly and they were quick. The price was great and the work was beautiful. They even had some extra materials left from a different job, so we got a discount on a better quality roof/​attic vent than I thought we were going to get. They installed roof/​attic venting on our old home and gutters and downspouts. All done quickly and professionally. At the time I was arranging all this, we had a windstorm and had a tree damage the peak of our roof. They also fixed that while they were up there — free of charge. I got to close my homeowners claim at no cost! I couldn’t be more pleased and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

First of all. Ben Mears Roofing. Is a honest businessman and it is reflective in his business practices. We just recently had our roof replaced… after 40 years.(needed one badly)
We took 4 bids… 2 of the companies… Allied being one was I felt were cheesy and I frankly didn’t trust the sales reps could deliver what they promise… I felt like I was being sold by a use car sales man. To much in your face pressure. The Allied rep took several days to get back with a bid.
The 3^rd roofing company Seattle «something or other «contract was designed for cost overruns. When read carefully the price quoted was not going to be the final cost… Hidden chargers in the contract…
Then we have Ben Mears. No pressure on the sales end. He came in took measurement … Emailed me the bid … It was one of the lowest of the four. Including gutters and 6 squares of plywood for repair work. We emailed back and forth to clarify a few details and questions. Ben came out showed us some roofing tiles we discussed the process, set a date. Shook hands and we had a deal… Ben was on site daily his crew was very professional and cleaned up very nicely…
Ben finished the job…$ 100.00 under the quoted written bid… And told us to write the check for $ 100.00 less because he didn’t use all the materials needed for the job… He could have kept the $ 100.00 I would have never know the difference … (Honesty). So I had no problem paying that bill.
Also no up front money to get the materials or anything. we paid when the job was completed to our satisfaction…
In fact Ben sent his guy back around several days later because he thought they could have cleaned the deck off better… (it looked ok to me)
All in all it was a great experience dealing with Ben Mears … I would recommend him to my mother, pastor or boss. Because I know they would get a great roof installed and from a honest contractor

My only regret is that there aren’t more stars here.
Ben & Jackie Mears are the best. I just purchased my first home and it has just been a money pit leaving me dealing with two months of contractors & businesses that I guess believe I have idiot written across my forehead and running around chasing my tail trying to get everything figured out and with strains and drains on my financial resources. Mears Roofing is exactly why I like smaller, family owned businesses that care about high quality work, people & our community.
Ben & Jackie went over and above to listen, come up with a plan and help me feel less stress. Ben even looked and offered suggestions on some of my other issues with this home and I couldn’t be more pleased with the actual work they did. I live in a community with 304 other home owners and I hope that my glowing review in our HOA resource book brings them to my neighborhood more often. I don’t do a lot of reviews on here but I hope that as you look for someone who is honest, reliable & has your best interests at heart and on top of all of that does excellent work, that you will give Mears Roofing a call. Oh and Ben is really funny too & don’t think I didn’t notice his singing as he worked :).

Fantastic! Ben was incredibly flexible fitting me in the next day so I could get my inspection done in time to close on my house. The pricing was very reasonable for the bit of work that did need to be done and Ben’s team was amazing with communication and coordinating the work.
I couldn’t be happier!
