A Roofer Who Knows the Pend Oreille County Line
Newport is unusual: the city limits brush right up against Oldtown, Idaho, so a roof here has to satisfy two states' worth of building expectations. DG Contracting LLC is fully licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho, which means we can work the whole community without sending you to a different crew once you cross Highway 2.
We are a family-owned company that has worked the Inland Northwest since 2013, and we have spent that time learning how homes near the Pend Oreille River actually weather. River-valley humidity, deep cold, and the snow load that a forested town collects under heavy tree cover all play into how we spec a roof. That local knowledge is the difference between a roof that looks good in July and one that still holds in February.
Full Roof Replacement
When a roof has reached the end of its service life, a patch only delays the inevitable. Our replacement crews tear off the old system down to the deck, inspect and repair the sheathing, and rebuild with a complete GAF roofing system - underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, ventilation, and architectural shingles engineered for the loads this region sees.
As GAF Master Elite contractors, a credential held by only the top 2-3% of roofers nationwide, we can register your installation for the GAF Golden Pledge warranty covering the system for up to 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship. On top of that we add our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty, so the people who installed the roof stand behind it.
Repairs, Leaks, and Storm Damage
Not every problem calls for a new roof. A lifted flashing, a cracked boot, or a few shingles stripped by a windstorm off the river can usually be repaired before water finds its way into the structure. We diagnose the real source of a leak rather than the spot where it shows up on the ceiling, because in this valley the entry point and the stain are often nowhere near each other.
- Wind and hail repair from the storms that roll across Pend Oreille County
- Flashing and chimney resealing where water tends to sneak in
- Ice dam damage repair after freeze-thaw cycles back water up under the shingles
- Emergency tarping to protect the interior until a permanent fix is scheduled
Inland Northwest Weather and Your Roof
A forested town at this elevation hands a roof a hard winter. Snow piles deep, then partial thaws send meltwater toward the eaves where it refreezes into ice dams that push water uphill, under the shingles, and into the attic. Done over and over, these freeze-thaw cycles work fasteners loose and open seams that summer sun then bakes wider.
We build for that reality. Proper attic ventilation keeps the roof deck cold so snow does not melt unevenly, ice-and-water membrane seals the vulnerable edges and valleys, and correctly sized intake and exhaust let the assembly breathe through the wet shoulder seasons. It is the same approach we bring to every roof replacement across the Inland Northwest.
Gutters That Move River-Valley Runoff
In a town that gets this much snow and rain, gutters are not an afterthought - they are how you keep meltwater away from the foundation and out of the crawlspace. When you replace your roof with us, we include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty, sized and pitched to carry the volume a Pend Oreille winter produces.
Pairing fresh gutters with a new roof means the whole water-management system is matched and warrantied together, instead of bolting new shingles onto tired, undersized downspouts.
