A complete roof system, not just shingles on top
New construction and tear-off-to-deck projects give you a rare chance to get every layer right at once. We treat a roof installation in Harrison as an assembly: deck inspection and re-fastening, ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, balanced intake and exhaust ventilation, drip edge, and the architectural shingles or GAF system that ties it together.
On a small lake town lot where homes sit close to the water and the weather rolls straight off the east shore, that layered approach is what keeps a roof watertight through decades, not just the first few winters. Skipping the unseen layers is where most premature failures begin.
Built for the east shore of Lake CdA
Homes on the east shore of Lake CdA deal with a specific mix: deep winter snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles that work shingles loose, ice dams at the eaves, and wind driving off open water. A roof installed here has to be detailed for all of it.
- Ice dam defense: wide ice-and-water membrane at eaves and in valleys, sized for real Inland Northwest snowfall.
- Snow-load ready decking: we verify the deck can carry what a Harrison winter dumps on it before a single shingle goes down.
- Wind-rated fastening: nailing patterns and starter courses set for gusts coming across the lake.
New builds and additions near the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes
Building new or adding on near the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes? We work directly from your plans and coordinate around the framing schedule so the roof goes on dried-in and on time. That includes flashing chimneys, dormers, and skylights correctly the first time, and integrating step and counter flashing where new rooflines meet existing walls.
For lake-property additions, matching the new roof to the existing home matters too. We help match profile and color so the addition reads as part of the house, not a patch.
Why Harrison homeowners choose DG Contracting
We are a family-owned company based up in Colbert, and we have been installing roofs across the Inland Northwest since 2013. Our crews hold GAF Master Elite certification, a status only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers earn, and our work carries a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews.
We are licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho, so a small lake town (Idaho license) project like yours is fully covered on the right side of the state line. See our full roof installation services for what a complete install includes.
Warranties, gutters, and financing
A new roof should come with protection that lasts as long as the materials. Every installation we do is backed by our 15-25 year workmanship warranty, and qualifying GAF systems can carry the Golden Pledge coverage of 25 to 50 years on materials.
- a 15-25 year workmanship warranty included with a full roof replacement.
- Flexible financing so a new-build or full re-roof fits your budget.
- Free, no-pressure estimates with a written scope before you commit.
What to expect on install day
We protect landscaping and lake-side decks, tear off to a clean deck, inspect and repair sheathing, and install the full system in sequence. Most Harrison homes are completed in one to two days depending on size, pitch, and access.
Cleanup is part of the job: we run magnets for stray nails and haul away every scrap of old material, so the only thing left behind is a roof that is ready for the next winter on the lake.
