New construction and full-system roofing done right
A new roof is more than the shingles you see from the street. It is decking, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and drainage working together as one system - and on a fresh build near Sandpoint, every one of those layers is a decision you only want to make once. We install complete roofing systems on new homes, additions, garages, and shops, matching the assembly to how the structure will actually live through a winter on the shoulder of Schweitzer Mountain.
Because we are Idaho licensed and insured, framers, general contractors, and owner-builders across Bonner County can bring us in early to scope the roof while the trusses are still going up. That coordination keeps ventilation intakes, exhaust, and snow management from becoming an afterthought once drywall is in.
Built for Bonner County deep-snow country
Roofs in Bonner County deep-snow country carry weight that flatland roofs never see. A season's accumulation, the freeze-thaw cycles that follow, and the meltwater that refreezes at the eaves all put real stress on the assembly. We install with that load in mind from the start.
- Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations to stop ice-dam backflow before it reaches the deck
- High-temperature underlayment across the full field for a continuous secondary barrier
- Balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation to keep the deck cold and slow the melt-refreeze that builds dams
- Reinforced flashing at walls, chimneys, and skylights where wind-driven snow finds its way in
GAF Master Elite materials and warranty
DG Contracting is a GAF Master Elite contractor - a credential held by only the top two to three percent of roofers in the country. That standing lets us register the GAF Golden Pledge, GAF's strongest coverage, with 25- and 50-year material protection on a qualifying system. On top of that we add our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty, so the labor that holds your roof together is backed as firmly as the products on it.
For a Sandpoint new build, that combined coverage means the homeowner who moves in is protected on day one and decades down the road.
What a Sandpoint installation looks like
We start with a walk of the structure and the site - prevailing wind off Lake Pend Oreille, tree cover, and how snow will shed and where it will pile all shape the plan. From there we confirm decking condition, set the ventilation strategy, and choose a shingle and color that suit the home.
On install day our crew protects the grounds, tears off or preps the deck, lays the full weatherproofing system, and finishes with clean flashing and ridge detail. We haul off the debris and run a magnetic sweep for stray nails before we leave. If your project pairs a new roof with gutters, ask about our gutter installation - replacements include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty.
