Roof-Mounted Equipment Installation

What This Service Involves

Every bracket bolted to a Northwest roof is a potential leak once the rain settles in for the season. We mount rooftop equipment on properly flashed curbs and sealed penetrations rather than the caulk-and-hope approach that fails within a couple of wet winters. Loads are tied into rafters or blocking so units stay put through the gusty fronts that roll off the Sound. Whether it is a mini-split condenser or an antenna mast, the goal is a permanent, leak-free attachment.

Benefits

Flashed curbs instead of failure-prone surface caulk; Loads anchored to framing for windstorm stability; Coordinated penetrations that protect the roof warranty; Correct clearances for drainage and future service access; One contractor responsible for both the mount and the weatherproofing

Our Process

1) Confirm the equipment weight, footprint, and best low-impact location; 2) Build and flash a curb or install sealed structural standoffs; 3) Anchor the unit to framing with corrosion-resistant hardware; 4) Seal, water-test, and verify drainage around the installation

What Affects the Cost

Weight and size of the equipment being mounted; Type of curb or standoff flashing required; Roof material and pitch at the mounting location; Structural reinforcement needed under the load; Roof height and access difficulty for the crew

Best Time of Year

Install rooftop equipment in the dry months so curb flashing and sealants set before wet weather tests them.
