An Owner Who Empathizes
If you hire a big national company, you may not know who the owner is. It may be someone who “cares” in a general sense, but they probably aren’t active in the day-to-day operations of the business.
Plus, if the company is THAT big, the chances they’ll give you the personalized service you deserve are slim to NONE.
At RoofSmart, Our Owner Jim Singleterry is a leader in our community and a visionary in the roofing industry. From his unique and professional expertise (for which he sometimes gets hired by attorneys) to his empathetic approach to helping homeowners, RoofSmart’s owner and founder is truly a diamond in the rough of the roofing business.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is RoofSmart a local company or a national chain?
RoofSmart is a 100% locally owner-operated company based in Kent, WA. Unlike large national firms, our owner, Jim Singleterry, is active in daily operations and personally consults on hundreds of projects a year to ensure personalized service.
2. What does it mean to be an "Owens Corning Platinum Preferred" contractor?
This is the highest tier of certification offered by Owens Corning. It allows RoofSmart to offer the Platinum Protection Limited Warranty, which includes up to 25 years of workmanship coverage—a level of protection most roofers cannot provide.
3. Why do you call yourselves "Roofing Nerds"?
We embrace the "Nerd" label because we prioritize technical, data-driven precision over high-pressure sales. We focus on building science, attic ventilation, and the "why" behind roof failure to ensure a permanent solution.
4. How long has RoofSmart been in business?
RoofSmart has been serving the Greater Seattle area for over 15 years, maintaining a consistent BBB A+ rating and earning multiple Angi Super Service Awards for our commitment to quality.
5. Does RoofSmart use subcontractors for roof installations?
We prioritize consistency and accountability. We believe in avoiding the dangers of unknown subcontractors by using highly trained, "Egghead" certified crews who understand our specific installation standards.
6. How do I know if the quote I received is accurate?
We have perfected the art of accurate quoting by performing thorough initial inspections. This prevents "surprise" costs halfway through the project and ensures the price you sign for is the price you pay.
7. What is a "Post-Installation Inspection"?
Once the crew finishes, a member of our leadership team performs a meticulous final walkthrough to check every detail against our strict standards before we consider the job "done."
8. Can RoofSmart help with specialty roofing like Euroshield or Rooftop Decks?
Yes. We are certified installers for high-performance materials like Euroshield rubber roofing and specialized rooftop deck membranes, which require more technical skill than standard shingles.
9. Why is owner empathy a big part of your business model?
Our owner, Jim Singleterry, co-authored a book on empathy with a former FBI negotiator. We use SmartMatch Needs Analysis to actually listen to your goals rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all product.
10. How can I verify your local reputation?
You can read countless 5-star reviews from our actual customers in Kent, Seattle, and across the South Sound who have experienced our thoroughness firsthand.
