Highly recommend Emerald State Roofing LLC! We had a suspected window leak and reached out to Emerald State Roofing LLC, and from start to finish the experience was outstanding. Jim and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in their assessment. They showed up promptly, communicated clearly, and took the time to explain what they were seeing and what was (and wasn't) the issue. What really stood out was their honesty and customer service. Rather than pushing unnecessary repairs, Jim helped us determine that the issue was actually related to the window itself and recommended another trusted company for the repair. That referral -- 425 Water and Fire Repair -- was fantastic, and we were extremely happy with their work as well. It's rare to find a company that is this responsive, ethical, and genuinely focused on helping the customer. The timeliness, professionalism, and integrity of Emerald State Roofing truly set them apart. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing an honest roofing assessment or repair. read more

Great pricing and service! Roof turned out amazing!!! Thank you Jim and Team for a great experience on my roofing project!

I can't say enough good things about Jim and the team at Emerald State Roofing. Last week after a heavy rainstorm, my ceiling suddenly started leaking--right underneath where our upstairs bathroom is located. With my husband away on business, I panicked and assumed it was a plumbing issue. Of course, the day after a storm, every contractor in town was booked solid. I've had home repair work done in the past and unfortunately, it hasn't always gone well--shoddy work, inflated prices, and a lot of upselling. So having to call place after place without the benefit of reviews was stressful. Out of sheer desperation, I called Jim at Emerald State Roofing--not for roofing help, but hoping he might know a good plumber. Not only did he immediately give me the name of someone local who offered to come out the next day, but Jim also offered to swing by just to take a look. It turned out the problem wasn't plumbing at all--it was a roofing issue. That evening, Jim patched the problem himself. A few days later, his team came out and extended the patch to cover the entire section of the roof and my aging skywall to prevent any more damage until I can get it properly repaired. At no point did Jim try to upsell me or push me into buying a new roof. Instead, he gave me some advice and the contact info of someone he trusts for gutter work. He also pointed out a few other things around the house exterior that could become future issues--again, with no pressure or pitch attached. Jim is genuinely one of the most professional and trustworthy contractors I've ever worked with. When the time comes to replace our roof, I won't even hesitate--he's the guy. He reminds me of George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life--truly community-minded, honest, and kind. If you're deciding who to trust with your roof, Emerald State Roofing might not be the cheapest, but they are by far the most honest and professional. Worth every penny for peace of mind. read more

Emerald State - Immediately after this protection was put up, it started pouring again. Not a spot of water came into the house! - Roofing Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

We paid this company to paint and replace the boards outside of our home. While the initial quote and coordination were smooth, we are now experiencing issues. A year after the work was completed, we are seeing chips, paint bubbles, and difficulties in getting the co-owner, Jim, to address these problems. Despite our repeated requests, the follow-up repairs have not fully resolved the issues. After Jim sent his team to address some of the problems, we discovered additional spots needing repair. The second floor of our house has not been inspected, and Jim or Todd have not offered to visit. Communication has been challenging, with responses often lacking in professionalism. Jim has attributed the issues to factors beyond the company's control, such as the roof of our shed or alleged damage we caused. Anything but taking accountability and possible problems with the paint. We have tried reaching out multiple times without success. Given the ongoing issues and lack of responsiveness, we are considering having the paint job redone and exploring our options for resolving this matter as the contract appears to have been breached. read more

I wish I could give Jim six stars. In all my years owning a home I've never had such a great experience. Jim came to look at damage from the windstorm. He insisted (INSISTED) on fixing damage at no charge, found some maintenance issues, and even cleaned off the roof. We were stunned. Jim is deeply knowledgeable, takes great care in his work, and has the mindset of approaching jobs with thoughtful, affordable solutions. He inspires confidence like nobody else I know. He's that wonderful. read more

I recently hired Emerald State to replace the aging roof on my Issaquah home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their work. From the initial consultation to the project's completion, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Todd, the owner, provided a comprehensive proposal outlining various options and associated costs, allowing me to make an informed decision that suited my needs and budget. The crew arrived promptly each day, worked diligently, and maintained a clean work environment throughout the project. They even addressed unforeseen issues, such as repairing areas of rot and ensuring all skylights were properly flashed and reinstalled. Despite some weather-related delays, the team remained communicative and committed to delivering high-quality results. Their dedication to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction was truly impressive. I highly recommend Emerald State . for anyone in the Issaquah area seeking reliable and skilled roofing services. Their expertise and commitment to excellence have provided me with peace of mind and a durable, aesthetically pleasing roof that will protect my home for years to come. read more

own a beautiful home in Issaquah - better known as "The Castle House" on Issaquah Hobart Rd SE. It is a 35 year old house that unfortunately has a roof leak. My wife contacted Emerald State and our fast talking sales person, with a good personality, convinced me that the roof is not the problem. Jim Oakley said it's the chimney. Well, suffice it to say, after I signed the estimate in June 2024 and provided a large down payment, Emerald State did everything but fix my roof leak. All while now making my chimney look different than the rest of my house. Jim Oakley stopped communicating with us late September 2024 when I informed him that the new drywall repair completed three days earlier is still leaking. I was now on my own with water still coming into my home until I found two contractors (1) Alpine Roofing Care, inc., and (2) Powers chimney and masonry. Both contracts confirmed that the roof is leaking, not the chimney, but I need to redo the chimney as it was not done properly. I plan to go to small claims court as the owner of Emerald State, Todd, is not willing to remedy the situation for me. I would not recommend Jim Oakley or Emerald State to do any roof or masonry repair if you want quality work performed. read more

I can't say enough about the owners and the crew that worked on our house. We had them install a new roof, windows, siding and gutters. Each crew did an amazing job and no cutting corners. Jim was at our home keeping an eye on things more than my general contractor. He was up on the roof, walked around the house and was on top of everything. They went beyond what was expected. I highly recommend Emerald State read more

Todd and Jim are the coolest roofers ever. I was on a tight schedule to get the roof leak repaired and they were truly a godsend. If you want your roof replaced/repaired you can call any roofer, but if you need a friend who is honest, works hard, and cares for your family & property, and happens to know all about roofs, call Emerald State. Winter 2020 the Seattle area was hit by storm after storm with Covid ongoing. Every roofer told me to wait 8 weeks, or replace the entire roof, or simply try someone else. Jim came over the next day and the crew completed the work a week later. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He quickly identified the problem after flying the drone over my roof for a few minutes. He is super honest with all my options. The day the crew came, we were just hit with another storm the night before, with fallen branches everywhere and 500,000 households lost their power. One crew member's house was hit by a fallen tree - but he made fixing my roof his priority. BOTTOM LINE - I honestly believe this is the type of small business we need to all support. Honest, knowledgeable pros with integrity. Please please consider them before calling the top sponsored result on Google/Yelp. 5 stars but I'll give them all the stars in the universe if I could. read more

Jim is very knowledgeable about what he is doing. He is honest, trustworthy and warm hearted. I will get his service whenever I need it.

These guys are great. They took my 30 year old house and made it look it brand new. Replaced some siding and refreshed the rest with a power wash caulk and paint. The work was well no issues at all. The place looks freaking great. The price was awesome as well. I loved all the laborers and the business side of these guys. Just all around a great experience. read more

What started off promising turned into a nightmare. They installed a complete new roof, front siding rework and painting. Over $110k paid and 3 years later, the painting was never completed, leaving me to fix their mistakes. We started with the roof, from the time of the quote and down payment, it took nearly a year before the work would start. The crew was great, and the work was mostly satisfactory with the exception of a few hoods that were not secured, some screen and deck damage from falling debris. If we would have stopped here, I would have been much better off. Unfortunately, we discovered that the siding on the front of the house was rotting and needed to be replaced. This is where things slowly started to go wrong. The work was mostly done well with the exception of the caulking and backfilling of the nail holes. The difference in this work vs. the roofing was that he charged time and materials, which far exceeded the initial estimate by almost double. Total work took about five months and half way through I had to plead with them not to pause and go to another job location. The painting project was the worst of everything. Took about 4 months for them to come and tape off the house, then left the house taped and sealed for another 2 months. When painting finally commenced, we realized that they had substituted the cheap paint (Sherwin Williams Super paint) for the agreed upon premium paint (Sherwin Williams Emerald). The painting project started so late in September that the cold rainy season had started. This is where they were rushing the paint work and the shoddy work ensued. Paint is permanently tacky and just about everything sticks to it. Lots of drips, over spray and nail holes that were never properly filled from the front siding project. The trim was only applied as a thin single coat, which the wood would show through the paint. After they had left things in disarray, the salesman came for final payment and was very contentious to receive to the extent of threatening to sue. Upon reviewing my payment history vs. the charges he presented, he ultimately overcharged us $10k from an extra check we paid them half way through the front siding work. Two years later, they are no longer reachable and refuse to finish the work or even fix anything. read more

During a fairly heavy rain storm, we noticed water was coming in through a window frame. Immediately figured water had found a way in from the roof, creating a path to the window. Contacted a neighbor who had Emerald State do work for them within the past month, happy with the service they received. Within a few hours of leaving a voice mail, I was contacted by Jim. Explained the issue and he was able to come out later that day to inspect and provide a quote. What was interesting is he used a drone to perform a visual inspection and take pictures. The crew came over the following day to begin repairs. Won't go into the details about the entire job. Needless to say, they found where the leak originated and placed a ice and water barrier, new shingles and additional flashing. The crew was very professional, they did a great job post repair clean up. Prior to the crew finding the actual point of entry for the water the following day. Jim went above and beyond by coming to the house during the evening, while it was raining to get onto the roof to place an additional temporary barrier as water was still leaking in through the window. read more

I just purchased a new home and was super anxious when I found signs of a potential leak in my roof. Jim came over to my house and provided very honest, helpful, and knowledgable advice. Jim clearly was looking out for my best interest and did not try to pressure me for an expensive fix. Jim is now my go-to person for all of my roofing needs. He even offered to look around the house at other unrelated concerns that I had regarding my new home and gave great feedback. I highly recommend! read more

We had a leak in our roof and Jim came right over. He spent a lot of time going over options and walking me through each one in great detail. Communication was great and response was always quick for any questions I had. Highly recommend Emerald State! read more

We had and outstanding experience with Emerald State. Jim shepherded us through the process and what to expect. I can't say enough good things about the crew. They clean up every day, were extremely courteous and the craftsmanship on the job was outstanding. We would recommend them, 100%. read more

Do not use this company! They did not install flashing or an ice barrier, but simply used tar paper, and in the PNW that is NOT GOOD! They did not use louvers over the vents, just put tar paper up to them. Then they used the WRONG shingles! All the shingles curled up! And to boot, they DO NOT HONOR THE WARRENTEE, but they are more than happy to give you a great rate to fix their MISTAKES! Oh, and yes red flags were flying when none of the workers knew how to reinstall the skylight! Do yourself a favor and use someone that is accredited by the BBB, which Emerald State Roofing IS NOT! read more

I am very thankful to those who referred Jim to us!! He is a Rockstar!! We had a leak from the roof that damaged our bedroom ceiling - Jim was so nice and went out of his way to help us with the leak. He has an endless amount of knowledge and just a honest, kind, and professional guy. Super job!!! read more

We had a very hardworking crew who did quality work replacing our roof in less than ideal weather. There were a couple of issues that came up with the supplier, which seemed to be of their hands, but Jim did his best to be accommodating towards us given the situation. They were quick to respond to any questions we had. We've been happy with the overall work and product. read more

We needed a new roof . We hired Emerald State in early April one of our rainiest months and our roof was a leaky mess! They put a large tarp over the problem area until the rain subsided and then they got to work and were able to start and finish within a few days .There was a fair amount of damage and many areas needed replacement boards as well. His crew was great and cleaned up like they were never there every day! During the process they put the tarp back on as needed which was very much appreciated! The price was good,the work & crew were great & I would hire them again for other services if needed. read more

Unfortunately, I am unable to review Emerald State's quality of work, however, this review is based on the customer service or lack of in scheduling an estimate. I had submitted a request online and waited 3 days and no one responded. I then called and got an appointment for an estimate. The day of estimate, no one shows. I called back to see what happened and was told they would look into it. Then about an hour later, I receive a call from the estimator and was told that there was some sort of miscommunication between the scheduler and him and their dates and times were all confused. The estimator then confirms the day and time with me for the next day. The next day comes and again, no one shows or calls to inform me. I call the office again and was told they would look into it again. Another hour passes again and no one calls. I called back and the scheduler had spoken to the estimator and that he said he was going to call me right away. I told her no one called me and she apologized but there was nothing she could do. If they can't communicate between themselves or have the courtesy to call the customer to inform they won't make an appointment, I would be careful to work with a company like this. read more

Below I list facts about my experience dealing with this company: * I was promised "immediate" job-start after contract signing (early September). This did NOT happen. The work started October. I contracted this company to install all the exterior siding, to install the moldings for window & door, to install my entry door and exterior painting. * I was promised that the work would be completed prior to Thanksgiving, This did NOT happen. * The contract included installing round window moldings, but afterwards I was told that I needed to BUY my own round moldings. I did, but I never got reimbursed for the purchases, even though all the molding were included in the contract. * My brand new entry door ($10K) was heavily damaged and the installation was defective (door wobbled) so I had to hire a third party to fix the damages. * Defective molding materials were used through my house windows and doors (in very visible areas, I have pictures). * Without authorization, one of my two sheds was painted without proper pressure washing the exterior. Fresh paint was applied on top of a ~30 yr old & dusty paint (there was no city-water hooked to the house...also, it does not make any sense that only ONE of the two sheds was painted...if the decision was made to paint, then it should have been both, not just one. Again, I did not authorize this work). There are more facts, but I want to keep this review short. However I will be glad to provide further information and pictures upon request.
