A Roofing Partner That Carries an Idaho License
Oldtown is a small riverside town on the Idaho side of the line, and that state boundary matters more than most building owners expect. Work performed here has to be done by a contractor properly registered to operate in Idaho, not just across the river in Washington. DG Contracting LLC holds licensing and insurance in both Washington and Idaho, so a brewery, auto shop, or office on the Oldtown side gets a fully credentialed crew without the paperwork headaches.
Family owned and operating since 2013, we treat commercial accounts the way we treat the small businesses we know personally. That means honest scoping, written estimates, and a single point of contact from the first walk-through to the final inspection.
Built for River-Valley Weather
The Pend Oreille River keeps humidity high and winter temperatures swinging, which is hard on commercial roof systems. Freeze-thaw cycles work moisture into seams and flashing, while heavy snow loads stress flat and low-slope decks well past their rated capacity. On Oldtown's older masonry and metal buildings, ponding water and ice dams at the parapet are the failures we see most.
- Snow and ice loads that overwhelm undersized drains and crickets
- Freeze-thaw splitting at laps, penetrations, and curb flashings
- Wind and hail off the open river valley loosening fasteners and membrane
We design and install for those specific stresses rather than applying a generic warm-climate spec.
Flat and Low-Slope Systems We Install
Most commercial buildings in town run flat or low-slope, and the right membrane depends on the building's use, foot traffic, and budget.
- TPO and PVC single-ply - reflective, weldable seams, strong for offices and retail
- EPDM rubber - durable and cost-effective for warehouses and storage
- Modified bitumen - multi-ply redundancy where ponding is a concern
- Standing-seam and architectural metal - long service life on pitched commercial roofs and additions
Each system is paired with proper insulation, tapered drainage, and detailed flashing so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it through a freeze.
Repairs, Re-Roofs, and Maintenance Plans
Not every roof needs replacing. We start with an inspection and tell you plainly whether a targeted repair, a recover, or a full tear-off makes the most financial sense for your building. For active businesses, we phase the work to keep doors open and minimize disruption to customers and staff.
Ongoing maintenance is where commercial owners save the most. Seasonal checks of seams, drains, and flashing catch small failures before the river-valley winter turns them into interior damage. If your building also needs gutter work, ask about the free gutter footage we include with qualifying replacements.
Why Oldtown Businesses Choose DG Contracting
We are GAF Master Elite certified, a credential held by only the top 2-3% of roofing contractors in North America, which lets us back qualifying systems with the GAF Golden Pledge warranty (up to 25 or 50 years) on top of our own 15-25 year workmanship guarantee. For a commercial owner, that combination means the membrane and the labor are both covered for the long haul.
Our reputation is local: a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews from property owners around the Newport and Oldtown area. Free estimates and flexible financing make it straightforward to budget a re-roof around your fiscal year.
Serving Oldtown and the Newport Border Area
Because Oldtown and Newport sit directly on the WA/ID border, many owners hold property on both sides of the river. We handle either side under the correct state license, so you are not juggling two contractors for buildings a few blocks apart. From riverside retail near the Pend Oreille to light-industrial space at the edge of town, we scope, schedule, and complete the work as one project.
