Why a full-system install beats a quick re-cover
When we install a roof in Shadle Park in NW Spokane, we are not just nailing down new shingles. We tear off to the bare deck, inspect and replace any soft sheathing, then rebuild the assembly layer by layer: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, properly spaced fasteners, new flashing, and balanced intake and exhaust ventilation. That complete approach is what separates a roof that lasts 30-plus years from one that traps moisture and curls early.
It also matters for the kind of homes around Wellesley & Ash. A re-cover hides whatever problems already exist underneath. A true installation lets us see and correct them before they cost you a ceiling.
Built for mid-century ramblers and newer builds alike
Shadle Park is full of mid-century ramblers with long, low-slope roof planes and wide eaves. Those broad runs shed snow well but they also collect it, so eave protection and ventilation are where we focus. On newer builds and additions, we match the new roof to the existing rooflines and detail every transition - dormer, valley, and sidewall - so water has nowhere to sit.
Every home gets a system spec written for its actual pitch, attic volume, and exposure rather than a one-size template.
What a DG Contracting installation includes
Here is what goes into a typical full installation for a Shadle Park home:
- Complete tear-off down to the deck, with disposal handled for you
- Deck repair where sheathing is delaminated, rotted, or sagging
- Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations to fight ice dams
- Synthetic underlayment across the full field
- New metal flashing at walls, chimneys, and pipe boots
- Balanced ventilation - intake at the soffits, exhaust at the ridge
- GAF architectural shingles installed to manufacturer spec
Engineered for snow, freeze-thaw, and ice dams
The Inland Northwest puts roofs through heavy snow loads, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the ice dams that form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave. A roof installed without proper eave membrane and ventilation will fight that cycle and lose. We design the system to break it: keep the attic cold and dry, seal the vulnerable edges, and give meltwater a clean path off the roof.
Wind and hail get the same attention. Correct nailing patterns and sealed laps are what keep shingles on the deck when a summer storm rolls across NW Spokane.
Warranties, gutters, and financing
