What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Missoula property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Missoula, MT and the Missoula valley and the Bitterroot, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

  • Roof Replacement in MissoulaMost houses in Missoula have two roofs on them, and the quote should say so. The slope facing the sun and the slope facing away spend December living in different climates, and we price them separately rather than averaging the two.
  • Roof Leak Repair in MissoulaWe will not sell you a permanent roof repair in January. We will come out, we will stop the water, and we will tell you plainly that what we did is a stop and not a fix.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in MissoulaWhether a wind event here costs you a repair or a framing job comes down to a single number, and it is not the gust speed. It is how many weeks the opening stays open, and in this valley the calendar decides that rather than the weather.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in MissoulaMissoula 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.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in MissoulaWind here comes from the wrong direction, and roofs in this valley are built as though it does not. The gusts that take shingles off Missoula houses run down Hellgate Canyon out of the east, so the exposed edge is the one most crews treat as the back.
