Roofing in Florence, MT
Florence is the ice town on this site, and the records are specific about it. On 18 January 2005 an ice storm caused power outages in the Florence area from accumulating ice, with schools closed for the day. On 19 January 2012 freezing rain three miles east of Florence formed a crust on the snow and on the ground. Two separate ice storm entries for one small community.
There is a third. On 21 December 2005 the Department of Transportation declared emergency travel only from Florence to Stevensville on Highway 93 because of freezing rain, and northern Bitterroot schools delayed opening. On 12 January 2011 freezing rain and black ice closed driving on Highway 93 from Lolo to Conner and along the eastside highway from Florence to Hamilton.
Ice storms are a roofing problem in a way snow is not. A glaze layer adds load without adding depth, seals the ventilation path at the ridge, and turns any gutter screen into a lid. We generally advise against gutter guards on Florence eaves for exactly that reason, and we make nothing by saying so.
Wind takes the covering rather than the structure here. On 8 April 2010 the amateur radio club reported shingles blown off a roof in Florence, trees down on Highway 93 near Stevensville and utility poles down in Lolo, all in one event. On 17 October 2017 considerable power outages ran from Florence to Victor with fallen trees through the valley.
There is no local building permit for your re-roof. Florence is unincorporated, Ravalli County runs no building department, and the county is absent from Montana's register of certified local programs. The nearest certified programs are Hamilton, Stevensville and Darby, and each of those stops at its own city limits. None of them has any authority over a Florence roof.
That absence puts the burden of proof on your contractor. Ask for the ice barrier product by name, ask how far past the heated wall line it runs, and ask to see the photographs from the dry-in. On a house with the Bitterroot River crossing at one end and the Florence-Carlton campus at the other, nobody else is going to check.
The stock is late-century. The 2020 to 2024 survey puts the median build year at 1984 with a margin of plus or minus fourteen years, so read it as mid-1970s to late-1990s rather than as a single year. About 162 of roughly 402 units date from the 1970s, which is the decade whose ventilation details we most often have to correct.

Roofing work we do in Florence, MT
Missoula Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Florence that we do in Missoula — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Roof Repair — The local permit test for a roof repair is written in feet rather than percentages. The Missoula County building division's roofing guide exempts damage that is minor, needs no new underlayment, and sits in an area under ten feet by ten feet.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — For nearly every house in Missoula the right covering is an architectural asphalt shingle, and the only real decision is the slope you are willing to put it on. A shingle roof sheds water.
- Cool Roof Installation — There is one building in Missoula where we specify a reflective roof, and it is not a house. It is a low-slope roof over a space that manufactures its own heat: a kitchen, a server closet, a shop full of lights and motors.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — A low-slope roof in Missoula never sheds, so it holds its load longer than anything else on the property. The design question is not really what falls on it.
- Hail Damage Roofing — Missoula is not a hail market, and we would rather tell you that up front than take your money to walk a roof. Most roofs we get called to look at have simply aged, been walked across by another trade, or blistered.
- Insurance Claim Help — Ask your carrier for a written extension on the completion deadline on the same day the claim opens. That single sentence is worth more to a Missoula homeowner than everything else on this page, and almost nobody thinks to do it while there is still time.

About Florence, MT — and why local matters here
Florence sits in Ravalli County with a population of roughly 821, close enough to Missoula that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Bitterroot River crossing at Florence, the Florence-Carlton school campus.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Florence properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Ravalli County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
