Apex Roofing & Construction | Foundation Repair & Roofing in Seattle, WA 98101

In Seattle's wet climate, flashing failures at chimneys and roof edges are a frequent source of leaks. Our approach is thorough: we first perform a detailed inspection to identify the exact point of separation or wear. We then remove the compromised flashing, properly prepare the surface, and install new, high-grade metal flashing that is custom-fitted and sealed to create a watertight barrier. We pay special attention to integrating the new flashing with your existing roofing material to prevent future wind-driven rain intrusion, a common issue in our area.

Given our region's seismic activity, earthquake retrofitting strengthens the connection between your house and its foundation. Many older Seattle homes were built before modern seismic codes and can slide or shift during an earthquake. Our retrofitting service involves bolting the wooden frame of your house to the concrete foundation and adding plywood shear walls to resist lateral forces. This work significantly enhances the structural stability of your home, helping to protect your family and your investment from ground movement.

Our concrete sealing process is designed for durability in the Pacific Northwest. We start by thoroughly cleaning and, if necessary, repairing any cracks in your driveway, patio, or walkway. Once the surface is prepared, we apply a professional-grade penetrating sealer. This sealer soaks into the concrete pores to block moisture, oil, and de-icing salts—common concerns in Seattle—which helps prevent cracking, spalling, and freeze-thaw damage. Proper sealing extends the life of your concrete surfaces and maintains their appearance with minimal maintenance.
