About Us

First Rate Roofing Services is a locally owned and operated roofing company based in Spokane, Washington.

​

We work with property managers, building owners, businesses and homeowners on leak repairs, maintenance, rejuvenation, coatings and complete roof replacement.

Commercial and Residential Roofing. Built on Trust.

Our approach starts with understanding the roof you have. We inspect it, document our findings with photos and video, and give you a complete breakdown of its condition and your options.

​

You get straightforward recommendations without pressure.

Built on Brotherhood. Driven by Excellence.

​

Founded by Spokane native Ethan Rhoades, First Rate Roofing Services brought together longtime friends with experience in commercial roofing, residential roofing, gutters and general construction.

​

We combined our knowledge and work ethic around a shared goal: build a company people could count on for skilled work and honest answers.

​

We look at what your roof needs and how to get more life from it through repairs, maintenance or restoration.

​

When replacement makes more sense, we explain the recommended system, materials, scope of work and warranty options so you know what you’re choosing and why.

​

Whether we’re tracing a difficult leak or completing a commercial roof replacement, we take the time to explain our recommendations, document the work and keep you informed.

​

We treat your property with care and take responsibility for the work we put our name on.

​

​

Experience That Keeps Growing.

​

Roofing systems and materials evolve. So do we. We invest in ongoing manufacturer training and hands-on learning to strengthen our knowledge of leak diagnosis, material compatibility, preparation and installation.

​

Experienced roofers share what years in the field have taught them, while new methods and technology help us keep improving.

​

That knowledge goes into every recommendation and every project, from finding a difficult leak to selecting and installing the right roofing system for your property.

Safety. Quality. Honesty. Integrity.

​

Safety
Protecting your property, its occupants and our crews starts with planning the work and paying attention to the details.
