Style and color that fit a hilltop home
Asphalt shingles give you the widest palette of any roofing material, and that matters in a community that sits out in the open against sky and pine. We help Suncrest owners pick dimensional, architectural shingles in tones that read well from the road and hold up next to the heavy pine canopy that surrounds so many lots near Hwy 291. Weathered wood, charcoal, slate, and warm driftwood blends all photograph beautifully on the hilltop, and the layered shadow lines of laminate shingles add depth a flat three-tab never will.
Color is not only cosmetic here. Lighter granule blends shed summer heat, while darker tones help melt the last of a spring snow a little faster. We walk you through both before you commit.
Why asphalt is the smart value above Lake Spokane
Sitting above Lake Spokane near Nine Mile, Suncrest gets the full Inland Northwest weather menu: heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams along the eaves, and steady wind off the water. Architectural asphalt shingles handle all of it for a fraction of the cost of metal or tile, which is why they remain the most popular choice on the hill.
- Strong wind ratings when nailed and sealed to manufacturer spec
- Class A fire rating, a real consideration under a dry pine canopy
- Easy, affordable spot repairs if a branch ever comes down
- Decades of proven performance in our climate
You get a roof that looks high-end and performs through every season without overspending.
A complete system, not just shingles
A shingle is only as good as everything underneath it. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, a status held by only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers nationwide, we install the full GAF system: synthetic underlayment, leak barrier at the eaves and valleys, starter strip, ridge cap, and balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation. That ice-and-water barrier at the eaves is what protects Suncrest homes from ice dams when snow melts and refreezes against a cold overhang.
Proper ventilation also keeps your attic from cooking shingles in summer and trapping moisture in winter, which is what lets us back the work with a real warranty.
Built for wind off the water
Exposed lots catching wind off the water need shingles that stay put. We use six-nail patterns on high-exposure roofs, hand-seal vulnerable edges, and pay close attention to rakes and ridges where gusts try to lift. Combined with GAF's wind-rated laminate shingles, this is what keeps a Suncrest roof intact through the spring and fall blows that funnel up the valley along Hwy 291.
Warranties and extras that add up
Every roof we install in Suncrest carries our 15-25 year workmanship warranty, and qualifying systems are eligible for the GAF Golden Pledge, which covers both materials and labor for 25 to 50 years. We also include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty with a full roof replacement and offer flexible financing so a new roof fits your budget.
