A Whole System, Not Just Shingles
A lot of roofing quotes stop at the shingle color. Ours starts with everything underneath it. A roof installed in the far SE Palouse has to manage wind driving off the open wheat ground, snow that piles deep and sits, and the freeze-thaw cycling that works at every seam from late fall through spring.
On a new install we layer the components that actually keep water out: a clean, properly fastened deck; ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations where ice dams form; synthetic underlayment across the field; correct flashing at every wall, chimney, and pipe; and ridge and intake ventilation balanced so the attic breathes. The shingles are the visible layer, but the system below them is what earns the warranty.
Built for New Construction and Full Tear-Offs
Tekoa is a historic small town where you'll find everything from century-old farmhouses to brand-new builds going up on lots with a clear view of Tekoa Mountain. We handle both ends of that range.
On new construction, we coordinate with your builder's schedule so the structure gets dried in on time and the roof is detailed correctly before siding and interior work begin. On a full tear-off, we strip the old roof completely, inspect and repair the decking, and rebuild from there - no shingling over old problems. Either way you get a documented, code-compliant install rather than a patch job.
Why GAF Master Elite Matters Here
GAF reserves its Master Elite certification for the top 2 to 3 percent of roofing contractors in the country. That status is what lets us register the GAF Golden Pledge warranty - 25 to 50 years of coverage backed by the manufacturer, not just the installer.
On top of that, we stand behind our own work with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty. For a roof that has to survive Inland Northwest winters near the Idaho line, that combination of factory and labor coverage is the difference between a roof you think about every storm and one you forget is there.

Engineered Against Snow, Ice Dams, and Wind
The weather on the far SE Palouse is the whole reason a roof system has to be done right. Here's what we account for on every Tekoa install:
- Heavy snow load - decking and fastening patterns checked so the roof carries the weight without deflection.
- Ice dams - ice-and-water membrane run well past the warm-wall line at eaves and in valleys so backed-up meltwater can't find a seam.
- Freeze-thaw - sealed flashing and quality underlayment that won't crack or pull loose through repeated cycling.
- Wind - high-wind-rated shingles and a starter course that locks the perimeter down against gusts coming off open ground.
Gutters, Financing, and a Clean Process
A new roof and the gutters that drain it should be planned together. When you replace your roof with us, we include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty - so meltwater and runoff get carried away from the foundation instead of pooling at the base of the house through a Palouse spring thaw.
We also keep the project straightforward: a free estimate with a clear scope and price, flexible financing options so a full install fits your budget, and a job site we leave clean and nail-free. We're a family-owned company that's been roofing the Inland Northwest since 2013, fully licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho.
Serving Tekoa and the Surrounding Palouse
Tekoa sits at the far southeast edge of the Palouse, tucked under Tekoa Mountain just a few miles from the Idaho line. That puts it well within the area we cover from our home base in the Inland Northwest, and we install new roofs throughout the small communities and farm properties around it.
