How to tell your Valleyford roof is past its life
Most asphalt roofs out here are built to last 20 to 30 years, but the conditions south of Spokane Valley toward Mica Peak push them hard. By the end, the warning signs stack up fast: shingles that cup or curl at the edges, shiny bare patches where the protective granules have eroded, granules collecting in your downspouts, and cracked or missing tabs after a windstorm.
Inside, an aging roof shows itself through brown ceiling stains, a musty attic, or pinholes of daylight along the deck. If you're seeing several of these at once, patching is usually throwing good money after bad. A full replacement resets the clock and the warranty in one move.
Why acreage homes need a different approach
The rural-residential acreage around Valleyford means longer rooflines, detached shops, and homes that sit exposed to wind with few trees to break it. That changes how a roof should be specified.
- Wind-rated shingles and proper nailing matter more on open lots that catch gusts rolling off the surrounding hills.
- Steep and complex rooflines on larger homes need careful flashing at every valley, chimney, and dormer.
- Outbuildings and shops can often be re-roofed in the same visit, saving you a second mobilization.
We size every job to the property rather than handing you an off-the-shelf quote.
Built for Inland Northwest winters
Heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and ice dams are the real enemies of roofs in this part of Spokane County. A replacement is your chance to fix the weak points that let water in.
Every system we install includes a self-adhering ice-and-water membrane along the eaves and valleys, a synthetic underlayment that won't tear or rot, and balanced intake-and-exhaust ventilation so warm attic air doesn't melt snow into ice dams. The shingles are the visible part, but the layers underneath are what keep meltwater out during a Valleyford January.
Our GAF system and what's included
DG Contracting is a GAF Master Elite contractor - a certification held by only the top 2 to 3 percent of roofers in the country. That standing lets us back qualifying replacements with the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, covering both materials and workmanship for decades.
On top of the manufacturer coverage, every replacement carries our own 15-25 year workmanship warranty. We tear off down to the deck, inspect and repair any rot we find, and haul away the old material so your acreage isn't left with a mess. When you replace the roof, we back every roof with a 15-25 year workmanship warranty. See our roof replacement services for the full scope.

We keep replacements predictable so you know what to expect from the first visit to the final cleanup.
