March 2026 Spokane Windstorm Damage Response Shines
Spokane, Washington is not commonly known as the Windy City, but a recent windstorm with gusts up to 70 miles per hour left me wondering about that. Even after substantial windstorm damage, Spokane Roofing Company was well-equipped to respond. Our windstorm damage response ranged from inspecting simple blowoffs to patching the roof for one business owner who lost half of a 50,000 square-foot single-ply, membrane roof.
Severe windstorms occur every year in some areas of the country. We are fortunate in the Spokane Metropolitan area, which is one of the few regions that gets close to the full term of a commercial roof’s expected life. Thankfully, there are no tornadoes nor hurricanes to create chaos and expensive repairs. That is a good thing for building owners whose roof warranties become invalid when winds hit 65-70 MPH.
No commercial roofing company in Spokane is better prepared for windstorm events. We have been through big wind storms dozens of times; you cannot put a price on that experience. We have as many as seven trucks on the road when we need them. When necessary, we can begin fixing a roof the day after a big storm. That is critically important, because a compromised roof can result in catastrophic damage to the interior of a building and a huge financial loss.
Minimizing loss is one reason we recommend our Roof Asset Management (RAM) program to commercial roofing customers. Building owners with active RAM service agreements move to the head of the line when significant weather events occur. A snowstorm soon followed the April 12th windstorm. RAM customers benefitted from our quick response before snow halted all rooftop inspections.
Residential roofs are of course more susceptible to wind damage, but copings and flashings can blow off a commercial flat or low slope roof, as well. It makes sense to schedule a professional inspection after a weather event like this one, because damage is often difficult to detect at first. We usually get a wave of calls immediately, followed by a flood of owners who did not realize that their roof was damaged, until it started to leak.
That is where Roof Asset Management shines. When a customer joins the RAM program, we begin acquiring data about their roof both from onsite inspection and satellite imagery. While very few of our roofs suffered serious damage in the recent storm, it is a fact that big storms can damage even the best roof. Every new roof looks good when the sun is shining, but when the storms hit, the best contractors show up.
Our quality and craftsmanship make Spokane Roofing Company stand out from our competitors. We are consistent, use high-quality materials, and train and certify our people. There is a lot of turnover in the local commercial roofing industry. 70-80% of commercial roof failures are due to improper installation. Only a handful of quality flat-roof companies operate in the area, and only one has been here to serve you for almost 120 years.
