A small town with big sky and bigger weather
Reardan is a tight-knit farming community of a few hundred households spread along Hwy 2 west of Spokane, surrounded by the rolling dryland wheat fields that define this stretch of Lincoln County. Homes here range from century-old farmhouses to newer builds on acreage outside the town grid, and they all share one thing: there is very little between them and the weather.
That matters for roofing. With open wind exposure on nearly every property, Reardan roofs take the full force of gusts rolling across miles of unbroken field. Add the deep snow loads, hard winter freezes, and the spring melt-and-refreeze cycle the Inland Northwest is known for, and you have a climate that punishes shortcuts. DG Contracting LLC has worked this corridor since 2013, and we build for what Reardan actually gets, not for a milder place.
The full range of work we handle here
We are a complete exterior contractor, not a one-trick crew. For Reardan homeowners and farm properties that means a single company can cover:
- Full roof replacement with GAF architectural and designer shingle systems, including proper underlayment and ventilation for snow country.
- Roof repair for wind-lifted shingles, popped fasteners, flashing failures, and leaks around chimneys, vents, and valleys.
- Storm and wind damage response, including documentation to support insurance claims after a hailstorm or high-wind event.
- Gutter replacement sized to move heavy snowmelt away from the foundation, with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty included on a roof replacement.
- Ventilation and ice-dam prevention upgrades that keep attics cold and roof edges clear through the freeze-thaw season.
Why open wind exposure changes the install
On a sheltered city lot, a standard nailing pattern might be fine. On a Reardan property with fields running to the horizon, it is not. Wind that gets under a shingle edge can peel a course in seconds, and the damage often starts at rakes, eaves, and ridges where uplift is strongest.
We address this with high wind-rated shingle systems, six-nail patterns where the manufacturer calls for them, sealed starter strips at every edge, and ridge caps rated to stay put. Done right, a roof out here should shrug off the gusts that come with living in Lincoln County wheat country rather than fail at the first hard blow.
Snow load, freeze-thaw, and ice dams
Winters along Hwy 2 bring real snow, and the trouble usually comes not from the snowfall itself but from what happens when it melts. Warm attic air melts the underside of the snowpack, water runs to the cold eave, and it refreezes into an ice dam that forces meltwater back up under the shingles.
Our snow-country roofs are built to interrupt that cycle: balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation to keep the deck cold, ice-and-water shield membrane along the eaves and in the valleys, and drip edge that sends runoff into the gutter instead of behind the fascia. It is the difference between a roof that handles a Reardan winter and one that springs a leak every February.
