Style and color that suit a lake town
Asphalt shingles come in more looks than most homeowners expect. Dimensional architectural shingles layer two or more tabs to mimic the shadow lines of wood shake, while designer lines push that depth even further. For a community sitting above Lake Pend Oreille, that matters: weathered wood, slate gray, and deep charcoal blends tend to anchor a cabin into the shoreline rather than fight it, and lighter driftwood tones brighten a place tucked under tall pines.
We bring physical samples to your free estimate so you can hold a color against your siding and trim in real daylight, not a screen. Picking the shingle is the fun part, and it is worth getting right.
Why asphalt is the value choice here
Dollar for dollar, a quality architectural shingle is hard to beat for a Bayview roof. You get a wide design range, a proven track record in our climate, and a far lower upfront cost than standing-seam metal or synthetic shake. With a GAF system, you also get strong wind and impact ratings that hold up to the gusts coming off the water.
- Lower installed cost than metal, cedar, or composite alternatives
- Repairable a few tabs at a time after a wind or hail event
- Wide warranty coverage when installed as a complete system
Built for steep lots and tall stories
Many of the parcels around Bayview and out toward Farragut State Park sit on a grade, and the homes that crown them often run two and three stories with cut-up rooflines. Those lakeside cabins and steep lots are exactly where careful staging, fall protection, and footing planning separate a clean job from a risky one. As an Idaho licensed contractor, we set up the site for the terrain before a single bundle goes up, so steep pitch and limited driveway access do not turn into cut corners.
A complete system, not just shingles
The shingle is only the visible layer. What keeps a north Idaho roof dry through freeze-thaw and ice-dam season is everything underneath it: a self-adhering ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, properly sized intake and ridge ventilation, and metal flashing at every wall and penetration. We install all of it as one GAF-engineered assembly, which is what qualifies your roof for the longer manufacturer warranty.

Standing behind the work
DG Contracting LLC has been a family-owned crew since 2013, and we are licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho. Our reputation rests on a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews and on warranties that mean something: a 15-25 year workmanship warranty on top of the GAF Golden Pledge, which can run 25 to 50 years on the system itself. Replace a full roof with us and the first a 15-25 year workmanship warranty are included at no charge.
Flexible financing keeps a sudden roof project from blowing up the household budget, and every estimate is free with no pressure to sign on the spot.
What to expect on install day
We protect landscaping and decking, tear off the old roof down to clean sheathing, and inspect the deck for soft spots before anything new goes down. From there the system goes on in order, the site gets a magnetic sweep for stray nails, and we walk the finished roof with you. On a typical Bayview home the work wraps in a day or two, weather permitting.
