Lacey Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Lacey, WA for residential and commercial properties across north Thurston County. Low-slope work in Lacey splits into two populations that need very different conversations. There are commercial membranes on the business corridors, and there are residential low-slope sections: additions, sunrooms, carport tie-ins and the flat-roofed rear extensions that a lot of 1970s houses acquired at some point.
The residential ones carry a trap that is specific to this city. A flat addition built after the main house was finished almost always got tied into the nearest existing downspout, because that was the easy answer on the day. The problem is that the buried facility on the far end of that downspout was sized against the original roof area, and nobody recalculated when several hundred square feet of new roof was added to it.
You will not see the consequence for years, because outwash gravel absorbs a great deal of abuse before it complains. Then one winter the trench reaches capacity partway through a wet week, the water backs up the pipe and surfaces where it was buried, which is usually within ten feet of the house. That is a drainage failure that looks exactly like a roof failure from inside.
So on any low-slope job we ask what feeds what before we price membrane. Sometimes the answer is a separate discharge for the addition. Sometimes it is a longer trench. Occasionally the truthful answer is that your roof is sound and the money belongs underground instead, and we say so even when that is the smaller of the two jobs for us.
On the membrane itself we are conventional and slightly conservative. Mechanically attached TPO at sixty mil over half-inch high-density coverboard for most work, fully adhered where the deck or the exposure calls for it, and two-ply SBS modified bitumen wherever there is foot traffic or equipment loading. Slope to drain gets built in deliberately with tapered insulation rather than hoped for and blamed on the original builder later.
We do not treat ponding as cosmetic. Standing water on a membrane is a seam and fastener problem waiting to happen, and on a residential addition it usually means the deck has deflected rather than that the roof was built wrong. Fixing the deflection is framing work, we will tell you so, and we would rather hand that off than roof over it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — downspout infiltration trench sized from the roof area draining into it, washed drain rock jacketed in geotextile under six inches of compacted backfill, a rodding cleanout tee set where the leader meets the buried lateral, fluoropolymer factory finish over Galvalume-coated steel panel, the granule wedge that collects at the bottom of a downspout run, lead-free two-piece pipe flashing with a friction collar — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lacey and nearby communities including Tumwater, Yelm, Tenino, Rainier.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with downspout infiltration trench sized from the roof area draining into it, washed drain rock jacketed in geotextile under six inches of compacted backfill, a rodding cleanout tee set where the leader meets the buried lateral, fluoropolymer factory finish over Galvalume-coated steel panel, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Lacey job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in north Thurston County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Lacey Chooses Lacey Roof Pros
- ✓We follow every downspout to where it actually ends before quoting anything, because in this city the last stretch of the system is buried and nobody has looked at it since the house was framed.
- ✓We will not hang zinc strips at your ridge or specify bare copper or uncoated zinc, because everything shedding off a Lacey roof goes into the ground the city's wells draw from.
- ✓We do not sell coatings for residential shingle roofs. If you have been quoted one, ask the salesman what the film does that a new field of shingles would not do better and longer.
- ✓We ask you to open the crawlspace hatch before we set a ladder in winter. A fair number of the January ceiling stains we get called about begin under the floor rather than above the drywall.
