Roofing built for businesses on the Hwy 395 corridor
Loon Lake sits in a pocket of the Inland Northwest where lake humidity, deep winter snow, and long freeze-thaw cycles all stack on top of one another. The commercial buildings here are rarely uniform - you will find a steel-frame contractor shop next to a converted lakeside structure that now serves customers, and a flat-roofed strip of bays a mile down the highway. Each of those needs a roof spec that matches how it is built and how it is used.
We work on commercial and light-commercial properties throughout the area: retail and service storefronts, equipment and boat storage buildings, churches, small offices, and the mixed-use structures that support both the year-round community and the summer lake traffic. Whether the building has a low-slope membrane or a steeper metal pitch, we size the system to the load and the exposure, not to a one-size catalog.
Low-slope and flat-roof systems for snow country
Flat and low-slope roofs are where Loon Lake winters cause the most trouble. Snow loads sit for weeks, meltwater refreezes at the edges, and ponding water finds every weak seam. A membrane that performs fine in a milder climate can fail early up here if the drainage and detailing are wrong.
For these roofs we focus on:
- Single-ply membranes (TPO and PVC) with heat-welded seams that hold up to standing water and temperature swings
- Proper slope and drainage correction so meltwater leaves the roof instead of pooling and refreezing
- Reinforced flashing at curbs, parapets, and penetrations - the spots where ice-driven leaks usually start
- Tapered insulation to add positive drainage on dead-flat decks
The goal is a roof that sheds the season instead of storing it.
Metal roofing for steeper commercial structures
Plenty of commercial and agricultural buildings around Loon Lake run a steeper metal pitch, and for good reason - metal sheds snow well and lasts for decades when it is installed and fastened correctly. We install and repair standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal systems, re-detail the trouble spots at ridges, valleys, and eaves, and address the fastener back-out and seam separation that show up on older panels after years of thermal movement.
For owners weighing a re-roof against a repair, we walk the roof, document the actual condition, and give you an honest read on how many seasons the existing panels have left before we quote anything.
Why area business owners choose DG Contracting
We have been a family-owned company since 2013, and we carry credentials that genuinely matter on a commercial job. As a GAF Master Elite contractor - a status held by only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers nationwide - we can offer manufacturer-backed coverage most companies cannot. We are licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho, which keeps your liability clean.
On qualifying projects, that backing includes a 15-25 year workmanship warranty alongside the GAF Golden Pledge protection. Our reputation is reflected in a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews, and we keep estimates free so you can plan a capital expense without obligation.

Minimizing downtime for your operation
A commercial re-roof is disruptive in a way a house roof is not - you have customers, inventory, and staff to think about. We sequence the work to keep your building usable: staging materials to keep entrances and parking clear, protecting stored equipment, and phasing larger roofs so part of the operation can keep running. For seasonal lake-area businesses, we will also time the work around your busy stretch wherever the calendar allows.
seamless gutters and flexible financing on replacements
When we replace a roof, we include up to a 15-25 year workmanship warranty - a real benefit on commercial buildings where edge drainage is what keeps water off walls, foundations, and walkways through the freeze-thaw months. For larger projects, we offer flexible financing so the cost of a new commercial roof can be spread out rather than landing all at once on the books.
