So, Who Are We? Meet Our Managers!

Informational, Roofing

It’s been a beautiful past few days here in the Pacific Northwest. If you’re anywhere near Tacoma we hope you got to experience the warmer weather and blue skies that are so welcomed after a long and dreary winter. As the weather continues to turn and peak roofing season draws nearer we want to take a step back and give you a behind the scenes look on who we are and what we do.

While we at Achten’s pride ourselves on the quality of the services we provide, we know that a business is only as good as those who run it. Luckily, this show is run by the best.

Our Policies: Community Involvement, Honesty, and Quality

While we don’t want to brag, we do want to highlight the ways our company gives back. Throughout the year Achten’s works with several charities to give back to our community. Our involvement with groups like Habitat for Humanity, Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, and The Tacoma Rescue Mission reflects our owners views of volunteerism and community service.

Everything Achten’s Quality Roofing does revolves around excellence and honesty. On every project we give our all. Throughout the year our estimators and roofers receive extensive training to make sure that whatever work we do for you is top-notch. We don’t mess around when it comes to your roof. If there are unforeseen issues we communicate with you directly. We don’t skirt lines and we always give honest feedback and estimates on the work we do.

We are the only 3 Star Master Elite GAF certified Roofing Company in Washington. Throughout the U.S., only around 3 percent of all roofing contractors have earned Master Elite status. At Achten’s we take pride in this status and use this mastery on every roof we work on.

Each technician at Achten’s is trained and certified in proper installation of all products by GAF.

As the season continues we will be highlighting the beautiful work our crews do and giving more roofing insights.
