What a full-system installation actually includes
Whether you're roofing a new construction project or tearing an old one back to bare wood, DG Contracting installs every component as one integrated system. That's how a roof earns real longevity, and it's the only way to qualify for the strongest manufacturer warranties.
On a hilltop community like Suncrest, where wind comes straight off the water and snow lingers under a heavy pine canopy, cutting corners on any single layer is what shortens a roof's life. We build all of it to spec:
- Decking inspection and repair so the foundation of the roof is sound before anything goes on top
- Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations where meltwater backs up
- Synthetic underlayment rated for the temperature swings up on the plateau
- Engineered intake and exhaust ventilation to balance attic temps and stop ice dams
- Wind-rated shingles, flashing, and ridge caps finished as a matched GAF system
New builds and additions on the plateau
Putting a roof on a brand-new Suncrest home is a different job than re-roofing an old one, and we treat it that way. We coordinate with your builder or GC to get the home dried-in on schedule, flash the dormers and valleys that hilltop designs love, and detail the ventilation around the open, exposed ridgelines so common above Lake Spokane near Nine Mile.
Adding a garage, shop, or covered porch? Low-slope and flat sections need their own approach, and we install TPO membrane systems where ponding and snow load are the real concern, tying them cleanly into the main pitched roof.
Choosing the right material for your lot
No two Suncrest lots ask the same thing of a roof. A home on a windy rise catching gusts off the water has different needs than one tucked deep under the pines, and we help you weigh that honestly.
- Architectural asphalt shingles - the dependable choice, with high wind ratings and a dimensional look that suits most plateau homes
- Standing seam metal - sheds snow and needle litter fast, a strong pick under heavy canopy or on steeper rooflines
- Designer asphalt - an upscale profile without the metal price tag
- TPO low-slope membrane - for flat additions, porches, and modern sections
Engineered for wind, snow, and tree cover
The shaded, north-facing slopes that make this area beautiful are exactly where roofs fail first. Snow sits longer along Hwy 291's ridge lots, valleys stay cold, and wind off the water tests every fastener and flashing line. We design each installation around those realities rather than installing a generic roof and hoping.
That means extra ice-and-water protection where snow accumulates, hand-detailed flashing at chimneys and dormers, a ventilation plan sized to keep your attic cold enough to prevent ice dams, and drainage that keeps spring runoff and pine needles from pooling against the roofline.
How the installation runs, start to finish
We keep the project organized and your property protected from day one through final cleanup.
- Free on-site estimate with attic and decking inspection and a walkthrough of material options for your lot

On a full replacement we include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty to complete the water-management system.
Why Suncrest homeowners choose DG Contracting
We're a family-owned company that has roofed the Inland Northwest since 2013, and we hold GAF Master Elite status that fewer than 3% of contractors in the country earn. That certification lets us back your new roof with the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, covering materials and labor for 25 to 50 years, on top of our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty.
Our reputation rests on follow-through: a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews, full licensing and insurance in Washington and Idaho, and crews who treat your hilltop home like their own. To compare a full tear-off with a like-for-like swap, see our roof replacement services page.
