Our Commitment to a Greener Future
At Raindrop Roofing NW, we’re not just installing roofs—we’re building a future that’s healthier for the planet and everyone on it. We not only offset our greenhouse gas emissions — we remove more carbon than we produce. Our commitment to green practices goes beyond business; it’s woven into the fabric of what we do.
Here’s how we’re making a real, lasting difference:
Your Project’s Carbon Footprint:
We’ve created a carbon emissions calculator for each roof replacement project. The result is included at the bottom of our quotes, along with a straightforward option for customers to offset it. We’ve partnered with TerraPass, a trusted organization that makes it easy and affordable for customers to balance their CO2 emissions.
Green Energy:
We prioritize sustainability by purchasing green energy through Pacific Gas & Electric (PGE) to power our operations. By choosing renewable energy sources, we’re helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing our carbon footprint. Although a small percentage of PGE’s Green Energy package is not yet clean energy we continue to look forward to it becoming so.
Planting Trees to Offset Our CO2 Footprint:
Every year, we plant hundreds of trees in Latin America through Evertreen to counterbalance the carbon footprint created by our fleet of vehicles. These efforts help restore vital ecosystems and fight climate change.
Restoring Riparian Forests in Central America:
Our commitment to the environment extends beyond roofing. We’re actively involved in restoring riparian forests and planting trees in Costa Rica to support biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. You can explore the location of our current work here.
Energy-Efficient Roofing Solutions:
We go a step further by offering scientifically calculated upgrades to your building’s ventilation and insulation systems. These improvements help reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and decrease your overall environmental footprint.
Sustainable Roofing Products:
We offer roofing products made from upcycled rubber and plastic and sourced from manufacturers who help offset their carbon footprints and hold goals to become carbon neutral: https://www.certainteed.com/about-us/sustainability |

Additionally, our roofing materials are built to last longer, minimizing the frequency of replacements and reducing overall resource consumption. One of the innovations we offer is SMOG conversion granules in some of our asphalt roofing products. Malarkey Roofing’s Smog-Reducing Granules https://www.malarkeyroofing.com/malarkey-smog-reducing-granules/ help capture and neutralize airborne pollutants, reducing smog and improving air quality over time.
Solar Integration:
We have been authorized to install photovoltaic solar systems integrated with new asphalt shingles roof replaements. We also collaborate with glass solar panel contractors to ensure proper attachment of solar systems to both new and existing roofs, making it easier for our customers to access renewable energy and lower their energy cost.
Paperless Operations:
We are proud to be 99% paperless, handling most of our operations digitally. This approach not only reduces waste but also keeps our processes efficient and streamlined.
Collaborating for a Greener Future:
We’re actively working with our manufacturers and suppliers to reduce their carbon footprints by exploring the development of non-petroleum-based roofing products and advancing eco-friendly materials. We also believe in the power of education and are committed to helping other contractors calculate and offer carbon offsets to their customers. By spreading knowledge and encouraging industry-wide adoption of greener practices, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the roofing sector as a whole.
Our green initiatives are just one part of our mission to create a more sustainable future. With each project, we’re helping to protect the planet—one roof at a time.
