A neighborhood with a lot of roof to look after
Drive from Comstock down through the streets near Manito Park and you pass a century of building styles in a few minutes - 1910s craftsman homes with deep eaves, brick Tudors, postwar ranches, and the steep gabled houses perched on the slope toward the Palouse Highway. The South Hill sits high and exposed, which means more wind, more accumulated snow, and bigger day-to-night temperature swings than the flats closer to the river.
That mix matters when it comes to roofing. A low-slope ranch addition and a tall historic gable on the same block need very different details to stay watertight. We treat each home on its own terms rather than applying one template across the neighborhood.
What South Hill roofs are up against
The Inland Northwest hands roofs a tough assignment, and elevation on the Hill sharpens every part of it:
- Heavy snow load that lingers for weeks on north-facing slopes and shaded valleys.
- Freeze-thaw cycling that works moisture into nail holes, flashing seams, and aging shingles.
- Ice dams at the eaves, common on the older homes near Manito Park where insulation and ventilation predate modern code.
- Wind and hail that strip granules and lift tabs on the more exposed lots.
Steep historic pitches actually shed snow well, but their height and complex framing make sound flashing, underlayment, and ventilation non-negotiable.
Our full range of services
DG Contracting handles the complete roof, not just the obvious repair:
- Roof replacement with GAF architectural shingle systems sized for South Hill snow loads.
- Roof repair for leaks, storm damage, failed flashing, and worn valleys.
- Roof rejuvenation to extend the life of shingles that are aging but still sound.
- Gutter installation - and we include a 15-25 year workmanship warranty with a roof replacement, which moves snowmelt away from foundations on sloped Hill lots.
- Ventilation and ice-dam mitigation to address the warm-attic problems behind recurring eave ice.

Why South Hill homeowners call us
We are a family-owned company that has worked across the Spokane area since 2013. A few things set the work apart:
- GAF Master Elite - a certification held by only the top 2-3% of roofers nationwide, which is what lets us back installs with the GAF Golden Pledge.
- 5.0 stars across 288 Google reviews from homeowners in Spokane and the surrounding towns.
- Licensed and insured in Washington and Idaho.
- a 15-25 year workmanship warranty on top of the GAF Golden Pledge, which covers materials 25 to 50 years.
For the historic, steep-pitch homes on the Hill, that combination of manufacturer certification and our own labor guarantee is what protects a roof that may be 30 feet off the ground and hard to inspect on your own.
Warranties, financing, and a free estimate
A new roof is a real investment on a South Hill home, so we keep the path to one straightforward. Estimates are free, and we offer flexible financing so the timing works with your budget rather than forcing it. Every replacement carries our 15-25 year workmanship warranty alongside GAF's long-term material coverage.
You will get a clear written scope before any work starts - what we are removing, what we are installing, how the flashing and ventilation are being handled, and what the gutters look like when we are done.
