Why a Complete System Beats a Shingle Swap
A roof is not just the part you see. On a new construction or a full tear-off, DG Contracting LLC builds every layer in sequence so the assembly performs as one unit. That means inspecting and securing the deck, laying ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys where Stevens County freeze-thaw cycles do their worst, rolling synthetic underlayment across the field, and tying in balanced intake and exhaust ventilation before the first shingle ever goes down.
Skip any of those layers and you inherit problems later - trapped attic moisture, premature shingle aging, ice dams that back water under the edge. We'd rather get it right once. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, a designation held by only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers nationwide, we install full GAF systems that qualify for the strongest warranty coverage the manufacturer offers.
Built for Remote Rural Homes and Outbuildings
Ford sits in open country, and a lot of the work out here isn't a single house on a city lot. It's a primary residence plus a shop, a barn, a detached garage, or a pole building - often spread across acreage near the Spokane Reservation where access and staging take planning.
We handle the whole property. If you're standing up new structures, we'll spec each roof to its use: a heated living space needs different ventilation and insulation detailing than a cold storage outbuilding, and a steep-pitch home reads differently than a low-slope shop roof. We bring our own equipment and crews so distance from town isn't a reason to cut corners.
Engineered for Snow, Wind, and Ice
The Inland Northwest hands a new roof everything it's got. Heavy winter snow loads sit for weeks, daytime melt refreezes into ice dams at the eaves, and ridge-line wind tests every fastener. A roof installed here has to be built for that reality, not for a mild climate.
- Ice dam defense: waterproof membrane at eaves and valleys so meltwater can't back up under the shingles.
- Wind resistance: properly nailed, sealed shingle courses and reinforced edges that hold up to gusts.
- Snow-load ready decking: a sound, fully fastened deck that carries weight without flex.
- Balanced ventilation: intake and exhaust that keep the attic cold and dry, cutting the freeze-thaw damage that shortens a roof's life.
Materials Matched to the Job
Most Ford homes go with architectural asphalt shingles - they balance cost, durability, and curb appeal, and they carry serious wind and impact ratings when installed as a GAF system. For outbuildings, shops, and lower-pitch structures, metal panel roofing often makes more sense; it sheds snow fast and lasts decades with minimal upkeep.
We walk you through the trade-offs before any commitment so the choice fits the building, the budget, and how long you plan to keep the place. Every new install also includes proper flashing at chimneys, vents, and wall intersections - the spots where most leaks actually start.
