When repair stops making sense
Sitting along Hwy 2 west of Spokane, Reardan homes catch weather that rolls in unobstructed across miles of farmland. By the time a roof reaches the end, the warning signs stack up: shingles curling at the corners, granules collecting in the gutters, bald spots where the asphalt mat shows through, and daylight or moisture in the attic. Once two or three of those appear together, patching becomes throwing good money after bad.
We walk the whole roof and the attic before we ever quote a replacement. If a targeted repair will genuinely buy you years, we'll tell you. But when the decking is soft or the field shingles are failing across the board, a full tear-off is the honest answer - and the only one that carries a real warranty.
Built for the wind that comes off the wheat country
Lincoln County wheat country offers very little to slow the wind down, and a roof on the edge of town feels every gust. Standard installation methods that get by in sheltered Spokane neighborhoods aren't enough here.
- Six-nail fastening on every shingle for higher wind ratings, not the four-nail minimum.
- Starter strip sealed along eaves and rakes - the edges wind tries to peel first.
- Hand-sealed ridge caps and penetrations so cold-weather installs bond properly.
The open wind exposure that defines this stretch of Lincoln County is exactly why we don't cut corners on the perimeter. That's where wind damage almost always starts.
A full system, not just shingles
A roof replacement worth paying for is a complete weatherproofing system. On Reardan homes we install the full GAF lineup: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, properly sized intake and exhaust ventilation, and architectural shingles rated for our climate.
Ventilation matters more here than people realize. Inland Northwest winters bring hard freeze-thaw cycles, and a poorly vented attic is how ice dams form at the eaves. Getting the airflow right protects both the shingles above and the framing below.
Why the GAF Master Elite warranty counts
Fewer than 3 percent of roofers in the country hold GAF Master Elite certification, and DG Contracting is one of them. That standing lets us register the GAF Golden Pledge warranty - up to 25 years on workmanship and 50 on materials - backed by manufacturer inspection, not just our word.
On top of that we add our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty. A warranty is only as good as the company behind it, and we've been a family-owned business serving this corner of Washington since 2013. Learn more about us on our about page.
What replacement day looks like
We protect landscaping and outbuildings, tear off the old roof down to the deck, and inspect every sheet of plywood before anything new goes down. Soft or rotted decking gets replaced - we show you what we find rather than burying it under fresh shingles.
Most Reardan re-roofs finish in a day or two depending on size and weather. We run magnetic rollers across the yard and drive at the end of each day so you're not finding nails in the gravel weeks later. With a replacement we also include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty, and flexible financing keeps the project manageable.
Free estimates with no pressure

We're licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho, and our 5.0 rating across 288 Google reviews reflects how we treat the people whose homes we work on.
