Meet Jean Paul Seward –
The Vision Behind Team Roofing NW
Every great company begins with a vision — and for Team Roofing NW, that vision came from Jean Paul Seward, a hardworking craftsman who built his career from the ground up.
From Builder to Industry Leader
Jean’s story began in the trades, building windows with his own two hands. Over time, his craftsmanship and curiosity led him to explore other areas of home exteriors — from siding to roofing — gaining a deep understanding of how every part of a home’s envelope works together to protect families and increase value.
As his skills grew, so did his ability to communicate with homeowners. Jean didn’t just sell — he educated. He listened to each customer’s concerns, explained their options clearly, and earned their trust through honesty and transparency. His dedication to helping homeowners make confident decisions naturally propelled him into a sales leadership role, where he trained and mentored others to do the same.
A Lesson in Overhead
After years of success in sales, Jean became the General Manager of a large exterior remodeling company. It was there he gained a valuable insight into the roofing and home improvement industry: overhead costs matter.
The company operated with multiple canvassing teams, a large phone room, and a big staff of sales consultants — all of which drove costs up. To cover that overhead, prices had to increase. Even though the company provided quality work, Jean realized that the extra layers of expense were being passed on to the homeowner.
This realization didn’t sit right with him. Jean knew there was a better way to run a business — one that could provide the same great products and workmanship without the inflated price tag.
Building Team Roofing NW
With that mission in mind, Jean founded Team Roofing NW, a family-owned company focused on great quality at a fair price.
Instead of growing bigger, Jean chose to grow smarter. Today, Team Roofing NW operates with a small, efficient, and highly skilled in-house team:
One marketer focused on connecting with local homeowners
Three exterior consultants trained to educate, not pressure
Two in-house crews (no subcontractors) who take pride in every project
By keeping operations lean and honest, Team Roofing NW passes those savings directly to homeowners — without compromising quality, service, or integrity.
The Team Roofing Way
Jean’s philosophy is simple:
“If you treat people right and take pride in your work, everything else falls into place.”
That belief has shaped the company’s reputation throughout the Puget Sound area. Homeowners appreciate the transparency, craftsmanship, and the family-like approach that Jean instilled in every member of the team.
From windows to siding to roofing, Jean Paul Seward’s journey represents the foundation of Team Roofing NW: honest work, fair prices, and lasting relationships.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, roofs deal with constant moisture, shade, and organic debris — the perfect environment for unwanted growth. But many homeowners don’t realize there’s a big difference between moss and algae on a roof. They may look similar from the street, but the impact they have on your home (and your warranty) is completely different. Understanding the difference helps you protect your home and make the best decision when it’s time for roof cleaning, maintenance, or replacement.
