Why Metal Makes Sense Here
The Inland Northwest is hard on roofs. We get deep snow that lingers for months, freeze-thaw cycles that pry materials apart, ice dams along the eaves, and high-UV summers that bake asphalt brittle. Metal handles all of it.
A smooth metal surface sheds snow and ice rather than holding it, which reduces structural load and the conditions that create ice dams. It won't crack in a hard freeze or curl in July heat, and a quality metal roof routinely lasts 40 to 70 years — often outliving two or three asphalt roofs in the same spot.

We handle the full project from first measurement to final cleanup:

Metal Roofing Options
Metal isn't one product — it's a category. We'll match the right system to your building, budget, and look:
- Standing seam — clean vertical lines, concealed fasteners, the premium choice for snow shedding and longevity
- Metal shingles & shake/tile profiles — the durability of metal with a more traditional appearance
- Exposed-fastener / ribbed panels — a cost-effective, rugged option popular for shops, barns, and commercial roofs
Finishes come in a wide range of colors with reflective coatings that cut summer cooling costs by bouncing heat instead of absorbing it — a real energy advantage during our hot, dry summers.
Snow, Ice & Energy Performance
Built for snow load
We design every metal roof around how it sheds. Snow guards and retention bars are placed to release snow safely, protecting gutters, entries, and walkways below — not just letting tons of snow drop wherever it lands.
Ice dam resistance
Combined with proper attic ventilation and ice-and-water shield, a metal roof gives ice far less to grab onto, helping prevent the leaks that ice dams cause on aging shingle roofs.
Energy efficiency
Reflective metal finishes lower attic heat gain in summer, easing the load on your AC. Year-round, a tight, well-vented metal roof is one of the most efficient envelopes you can put over your home.
