A Roofer Who Knows This Stretch of the River
Life in Tum Tum is defined by space and trees. Homes here sit on large parcels off Hwy 291, often shaded by ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, with the waters of Long Lake and Lake Spokane drawing the area together. That setting is beautiful, but it asks a lot of a roof. Overhanging branches drop needles and limbs, dense canopy keeps north-facing slopes damp, and the open exposure near the water lets wind drive rain and snow hard against the structure.
DG Contracting LLC is a family-owned company based in nearby Colbert, and we have spent years working the rural corridors that ring the north end of Spokane County. We understand the access challenges of long driveways, the moss and debris that build up under tree cover, and the way Inland Northwest weather treats a roof differently out here than it does in town.
Roof Replacement for Tum Tum Homes
When a roof has reached the end of its service life, a full replacement is the surest path to decades of protection. We strip the old system down to the deck, inspect and repair the sheathing, and rebuild with a complete GAF system: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the vulnerable zones, properly sized ventilation, and architectural shingles rated to stand up to wind and hail.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor, a status held by only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers nationwide, we can register the GAF Golden Pledge warranty covering 25 to 50 years on materials, backed by our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty. Replace your roof with us and we back every roof with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty.
Storm, Snow, and Tree Damage Repair
Not every problem needs a new roof. A windblown limb, a few lifted shingles after a gust off the lake, or flashing that has worked loose around a chimney can usually be addressed with a targeted repair. We handle:
- Wind and hail damage from the storms that roll across the open water and ridgelines.
- Leaks and decking rot caused by trapped moisture and shaded, slow-drying slopes.
- Ice dam and freeze-thaw repair where melting snow refreezes at the eaves.
- Impact damage from falling branches on heavily wooded lots.
We document everything clearly so you know exactly what failed and why, which also helps if an insurance claim is involved.
Winter Performance: Snow, Ice Dams, and Ventilation
Winters at this elevation pile on heavy, wet snow, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycle is what does the real damage. As snow melts off the warmer upper slope and refreezes at the cold eave, an ice dam forms and backs water up under the shingles. The fix is rarely just better shingles; it is a balanced roof assembly.
We make sure intake and exhaust ventilation work together to keep the deck cold and even, install ice-and-water membrane along the eaves and valleys, and seal the penetrations where water loves to sneak in. On a property surrounded by trees, that combination keeps the underside of your roof dry through the long stretches when the sun never quite reaches the north face.
Gutters, Cleaning, and Tree-Shaded Maintenance
On wooded Tum Tum lots, gutters fill with pine needles and leaf litter faster than almost anywhere. Clogged gutters overflow against the fascia and feed the moisture problems that shorten a roof's life. Beyond the a 15-25 year workmanship warranty we include with a replacement, we install and replace gutter systems sized for real Inland Northwest runoff and offer roof cleaning and moss treatment to clear the buildup that thrives in shade.
Catching small issues early is the cheapest roofing you will ever buy. A periodic inspection of a rural roof, especially after a big wind or snow event, often turns up a loose shingle or a debris dam before it becomes an interior leak. Explore our full roofing services to see everything we offer.
