Why Should I have my Roof Inspected?

The roof is one of the last things you might think about when it comes to making sure everything in your Tacoma, WA area home is ready for winter; however, it can be one of the most important.

The roof takes the full force of weather throughout the year from the sun, rain and snow to incliment circumstances like hail and falling debris.

Trust the Ampro Difference

We’ve seen so many contractors in the Puget Sound Region that have really hurt the reputation of our industry through shady tactics and poor workmanship.

These shady companies demand large, upfront deposits; then it may be weeks or months before you hear from them again… if ever!

For years Ampro has worked hard to make sure all of our business practices are upfront and honest… which is why we have been serving our community for over 30 years.

In Fact Ampro will never ask for payment until the job is complete and you are completely satisfied.

We don’t use high pressure sales people. All Inspections are performed by the Owner himself; who will provide you honest options and a fair quote for repairs or replacement. We will ALWAYS look to the repair options FIRST; rather that quoting a new roof. This is the method that keeps our customers referring our services to friends and family over the last 30+ years!
