A roof is a 20-30 year relationship, not a one-day transaction
When you replace a roof, you are not just buying shingles for an afternoon. You are entering a relationship that can last two or three decades. The questions that matter most are not always asked on day one: Who answers the phone in year seven when a flashing detail needs attention? Who honors the workmanship warranty after the first hard winter? Who knows exactly how your roof was built, because they built it?
A local roofer is the answer to all of those questions. At DG Contracting, we have been a family-owned business in Colbert, WA since 2013, and that longevity is the whole point: we plan to be here for the full life of your roof, not just the install.
A warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind it
Manufacturer coverage and workmanship coverage are two different things, and both depend on a contractor who is still in business when you need them.
- GAF Golden Pledge: As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer GAF's strongest manufacturer warranty. Master Elite status is held by a small share of roofers nationwide, and it is something you earn and have to maintain.
- 15-25 year workmanship warranty: This covers the quality of our installation, not just the product. If something tied to workmanship comes up years down the road, you need a contractor who picks up the phone.
A warranty handed to you by a crew that has moved on is just a piece of paper. A warranty backed by a local company with a real address is a commitment you can actually act on. See the details on our warranties page.
Accountability you can find on a map
Local accountability is simple and powerful: there is a real business, at a real location, with real people whose reputation lives and dies in this community. We are licensed in both Washington and Idaho, which means we are accountable to the licensing authorities in both states where we work.
When your roofer lives and works in the same area you do, doing right by you is not optional. Word travels fast in Spokane and North Idaho, and we have built our business on it.
Local reviews and referrals you can actually verify
A reputation built in your own community is something you can check with your own neighbors. Our 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews comes from homeowners right here in the region, and many of our jobs come from referrals, the highest compliment a local contractor can earn.
You can ask around. You can drive by a roof we finished. You can talk to someone on your street who hired us. That kind of verifiable, hometown track record is exactly what makes choosing local feel like the safe, smart decision.
We know how roofs behave in this specific climate
Spokane and North Idaho are not a generic roofing market. Our winters and shoulder seasons put roofs through stresses that a contractor from a milder region may simply not design for.
- Snow load: Heavy seasonal snow puts real weight and stress on a roof system, and the details have to account for it.
- Freeze-thaw cycling: Repeated freezing and thawing is hard on flashing, fasteners, and seams. Proper detailing here is not optional.
- Ice and meltwater: Cold-climate roofs need to be assembled with how water moves and refreezes in mind, especially at eaves and valleys.
Building for this climate is something you learn by working in it year after year, not from a national playbook.
Permits and local code are part of doing it right
A roof done correctly is a roof done to code, with the proper permits pulled for your jurisdiction. Local building requirements in Spokane County and across North Idaho have their own particulars, and a local roofer already knows the process, the inspectors, and the expectations.
That matters not only for safety and quality, but also when you go to sell your home. Permitted, code-compliant work is documented work, and documentation is exactly what a buyer, an appraiser, or an insurer wants to see.
Here for service long after the last shingle goes on
The true test of a roofer is not the day the job finishes. It is the years that follow. A vent needs attention, a question comes up before you list your home, a future season prompts an inspection, and you want someone who knows your roof and is a short drive away.
Because we are local and built to last, we can be that company for you. The same family-owned business that installed your roof is the one you call for service on it.
