Roofing, siding and everything that keeps the weather out

Most of what goes wrong with a roof happens under the shingles. That is why we tear off down to the bare deck instead of laying a second layer over the top of a tired one. With the old roof gone we can actually see the sheathing — and replace whatever is soft, cracked or rotten before it becomes your problem in February.

You get a written quote that spells out the shingle, the underlayment, the flashing and the price. If we open the roof and find rotten deck, we show you the board before we replace it. No mystery charges at the end.

Metal costs more up front and then quietly stops costing you anything. It sheds snow, it does not curl or blow off in a straight-line wind, and it will very likely be the last roof the building ever needs.

We install both standing seam — hidden fasteners, the cleanest look, best for houses — and exposed-fastener panel, which is the workhorse for shops, machine sheds and barns. Unlimited color choices either way.

A roof cooks itself from underneath when the attic cannot breathe. Hot damp air sits against the decking, shingles age from the back side, and in winter that same warm air melts snow that refreezes at the cold eave and builds an ice dam.

Ventilation is not glamorous and it is not expensive, but getting it right is the difference between a roof that reaches its rated life and one that quietly gives up ten years early. We check intake and exhaust on every single job, whether you asked us to or not.

Agricultural work is where a lot of our crew learned the trade. We re-roof and re-skin barns, horse barns, hog houses, chicken coops, grain storage, machine sheds and shops — and we build new post-frame buildings from the ground up.

Farm buildings are big, exposed, and expensive to get wrong. They also cannot sit open for a week. We plan the job around your operation and we do not start a section we cannot close in.
