What a Full Roof Installation Includes
When we install a new roof on a Loon Lake home, we build the whole assembly from the deck up - not just the visible layer. Every installation starts with stripping the old material down to the sheathing so we can see exactly what we are covering.
- Deck inspection and repair: We check for soft spots, delamination, and rot around chimneys and valleys before anything new goes down.
- Ice and water shield: Critical along eaves and valleys where ice dams form on lakeside structures.
- Synthetic underlayment: A water-resistant secondary barrier across the full deck.
- Drip edge, flashing, and ventilation: Properly balanced intake and exhaust so the attic breathes and snowmelt drains.
- The finished roofing layer: Asphalt three-tab, architectural shingle, standing-seam metal, or flat/TPO membrane.
Choosing the Right System for Your Property
The right roof for a year-round home near the town center is often different from what makes sense on a seasonal cabin tucked into the trees. We walk every Loon Lake property and match the system to how the structure is used and how the snow behaves on it.
Architectural shingles are the workhorse for most homes - thicker, wind-rated, and backed by the GAF Golden Pledge warranty when we install them. Standing-seam metal sheds heavy snow fast and resists ice buildup, which appeals to owners of steep-roofed cabins and outbuildings. Flat and TPO systems serve low-slope additions, porches, and modern designs. Pitch, exposure, and tree cover all factor into the recommendation.
Built for Loon Lake's Snow and Freeze-Thaw
The water amplifies what the rest of the Inland Northwest already deals with. Snow piles deeper, melt refreezes faster, and the daily temperature swing pries at any weak seam. A roof installed without that in mind tends to fail at the edges first.
We address it where it counts: wider ice-and-water membrane coverage at the eaves, sealed valley details, and a ventilation plan that keeps the deck cold enough to stop the meltwater-refreeze cycle that creates ice dams. The goal is a roof that handles a heavy March snowpack the same way it handles a dry August.
seamless gutters With Every Replacement
Drainage and roofing work as one system, especially on properties that catch runoff from surrounding slopes. When we install a new roof, we include up to a 15-25 year workmanship warranty so meltwater and rain get carried away from your foundation instead of pooling at the base of the house.
Pairing fresh gutters with a new roof means the whole water path - from ridge to ground - is sized and sealed together. It is one less seasonal headache for homes that sit through long, wet shoulder seasons.

What to Expect During Your Installation
Most single-family roof installations wrap in one to three days depending on size, pitch, and access. We protect landscaping and decks, keep the site clean, and haul away every scrap of tear-off when we leave.
For cabins set back on gravel drives or shared lake roads, access planning is part of the conversation upfront so material delivery and dumpster placement do not become a problem mid-job. You get a clear timeline before we begin and a final walkthrough when we finish.
