What a full-system installation actually includes
A new roof is layers working together, and we install every one of them to GAF specification so the warranty and the performance both hold. On a Wellpinit installation that means:
- Decking inspection or replacement - we don't lay shingles over soft or delaminated sheathing; bad decking gets cut out and replaced.
- Synthetic underlayment across the field for a tough, water-shedding secondary barrier.
- Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations - the zones where snowmelt and ice dams do their damage.
- Starter strip, architectural shingles, and ridge cap from a single matched system.
- Properly sized intake and exhaust ventilation so the attic stays cold and dry through a Stevens County winter.
Skip a layer and you don't see it until the first thaw finds the gap. We build the whole assembly the first time.
Built for new construction and full tear-offs alike
Whether you're framing a new home in the trees off Ford-Wellpinit Road or pulling decades of weathered shingles off an existing place, the goal is the same: a roof that performs as one engineered unit. On new builds we coordinate around your framing and dry-in schedule. On replacements we tear off down to the deck, inspect what's underneath, and correct ventilation or flashing problems that the old roof was hiding. Either way you end up with a clean, code-correct system instead of a patch on top of a patch.
Why remote, forested sites need extra planning
Wellpinit's remote forested rural homes bring conditions a roof in town never faces. Heavy tree canopy means constant needle and leaf litter, more shade, slower snowmelt, and the occasional limb strike - all of which a good installation anticipates with the right valley detailing, ventilation, and drip-edge protection. Distance matters too: we stage materials and crew so the job runs efficiently in one stretch rather than dragging out over weeks of return trips. We've built roofs across the back roads of the region and we plan the logistics before the first bundle leaves the truck.
Snow, ice, and the Inland Northwest climate
Up here a roof earns its keep in winter. Snow piles deep, the freeze-thaw cycle works at every seam, and ice dams form where warm attic air meets a cold eave. Our installations answer that directly - membrane in the dam-prone zones, balanced ventilation to keep the deck cold, and fasteners and flashing rated for wind and hail. Then summer brings UV and heat that age a roof from the other direction. A system built for the full Inland Northwest swing lasts the way it should instead of failing early at the weak point.
The DG Contracting installation experience
We're a family-owned company that's been roofing the Inland Northwest since 2013, and we hold GAF Master Elite certification - a status fewer than three percent of North American roofers reach. That lets us back your new roof with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty plus the GAF Golden Pledge, which covers materials and labor for decades. Every estimate is free and detailed, financing is available to spread the cost, and a replacement comes with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty. We're licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho, with a 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews. Want to compare your options first?

What to expect from start to finish
It begins with a free on-site estimate where we measure, inspect the deck and ventilation, and walk you through material and color choices. You get a written scope and price with no pressure. Once you approve, we schedule around weather and your timeline, stage materials, and complete most homes in a day or two. We protect landscaping and outbuildings, magnet-sweep the site for nails, and haul off every scrap before we leave. The result is a roof that looks finished and is finished - registered warranty, clean property, and a single point of contact if you ever need us again. Call (509) 209-1894 to get on the schedule.
