A full-system install for new construction and replacements
A roof is not just the layer you see from the street. On every Oldtown installation we treat the deck, underlayment, ice-and-water barrier, flashing, ventilation, and shingles as a single assembly that has to work together for decades. That whole-system approach matters most on new builds and additions, where there is no existing roof to copy and every detail is being set for the first time.
As a GAF Master Elite contractor - a certification held by only the top 2-3% of roofers nationwide - we install the complete GAF lineup so your warranty covers the system, not just one component. That is the difference between a roof that simply passes inspection and one that is genuinely built for the long haul.
Built for the Pend Oreille River climate
Sitting right on the Pend Oreille River, Oldtown sees damp valley air, heavy winter snow loads, and the relentless freeze-thaw cycling that defines the Inland Northwest. River-adjacent homes also tend to hold humidity longer, which makes attic ventilation and a continuous moisture barrier non-negotiable.
- Ice dam defense: self-adhering ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys where meltwater refreezes
- Snow-load ready: proper deck fastening and underlayment rated for sustained winter weight
- Balanced ventilation: intake and exhaust sized to flush river-valley humidity out of the attic
- Sealed flashing: watertight transitions at chimneys, walls, and skylights
Why an Idaho license matters here
Oldtown sits directly on the WA/ID border, sharing a main street with Newport just across the state line. That location means homeowners sometimes hire a contractor who is only set up to work in Washington. We carry an active Idaho license in addition to our Washington credentials, so your permits, inspections, and warranty paperwork are all handled correctly on the Idaho side.
Being fully licensed and insured in both states also means we can serve the whole Newport-Oldtown community without the gaps that trip up cross-border projects.
What goes into your new roof
Every installation follows the same disciplined sequence so nothing gets skipped on the way to a finished, warrantied roof.
- Deck inspection and prep - we check for soft or rotted sheathing and replace it before anything goes down
- Underlayment and ice-and-water barrier - layered protection across the entire deck
- GAF shingles and accessories - matched starter, field, and ridge components
- Ventilation and flashing - tuned to your roof's geometry and the local climate
- Cleanup and inspection - magnetic nail sweep and a final walkthrough with you
New roof replacements also include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty, and you can explore the rest of our roofing services if your project needs more than shingles.
Warranties and financing that protect the investment
A new roof is one of the largest investments a homeowner makes, so we back ours twice over. You get our 15-25 year workmanship warranty on the installation itself, plus eligibility for the GAF Golden Pledge, which extends 25 to 50 years of manufacturer-backed coverage on materials and labor - protection only Master Elite contractors can offer.
Flexible financing keeps a full roof system within reach, and every estimate is free with no obligation. As a family-owned company that has served the region since 2013, we would rather earn your trust than rush a sale.
What your neighbors are saying
Reputation travels fast in a small riverside town. We have earned a 5.0-star rating across 288 Google reviews, and a good share of our Oldtown and Newport work comes from referrals between neighbors who have seen the results firsthand.
