Missoula Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Missoula, MT for residential and commercial properties across the Missoula valley and the Bitterroot. Wind 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.
Standard practice puts all of the care on the west and southwest sides, because that is where weather arrives across most of the interior West. Missoula sits at the mouth of a narrow east-west canyon and the terrain funnels air through it. When those winds come up, the east-facing rake takes the pressure that the specification assumed would land somewhere else.
So we detail both rakes the same way and we do not apologize for the labor. Metal rake edge over the underlayment, starter course run up the rakes rather than only along the eaves, and six nails per shingle across the first three courses on every exposed edge. It is an hour of extra work on a typical house and it is the cheapest insurance on the whole job.
The other thing about wind in this valley is when it shows up. Deep inversions are calm events, and the air on the valley floor can go days without moving at all. The damaging gusts tend to bracket that stillness, arriving as the pattern sets up or when it finally breaks apart, which is why a quiet stretch is not evidence of a sound roof.
After a gust event we look for lifted tabs rather than missing ones. A shingle that broke its seal and laid back down is invisible from the street and will leave in the next one, and by then the underlayment has been open to whatever fell in between. We mark them with chalk so you can see what we are talking about.
For older roofs where half the field has lost its seal, hand-sealing individual tabs with dabs of roof cement is a legitimate stopgap and a lot cheaper than replacing. It buys two or three seasons. We will do it if the shingles still have flex in them, and we will tell you when they do not. A shingle that cracks in your hand on a cool morning is past the point where any adhesive helps it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a self-adhered ice barrier run two courses up the shaded slopes, rigid baffles set in every rafter bay ahead of any vent product, hidden gutter hangers screwed into rafter tails at sixteen inches, a cricket framed behind chimneys narrower than the code trigger, skylight curbs built ten to twelve inches tall for sustained depth, overflow scuppers cut through the parapet above the primary drain — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Missoula and nearby communities including Lolo, Orchard Homes, East Missoula, Bonner-West Riverside.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a self-adhered ice barrier run two courses up the shaded slopes, rigid baffles set in every rafter bay ahead of any vent product, hidden gutter hangers screwed into rafter tails at sixteen inches, a cricket framed behind chimneys narrower than the code trigger, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Missoula job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Missoula valley and the Bitterroot means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Missoula Chooses Missoula Roof Pros
- ✓We price the shaded slopes and the sunny slopes of your roof separately, because in this valley they are not carrying the same winter
- ✓Our inspection season is late September and October, not spring, because a roof here stops being available in December and a spring finding has already cost you a season
- ✓We quote winter leaks as two visits with two numbers, and we will not charge you for a permanent repair that we know cannot cure in a cold pool
- ✓Before we quote a metal panel we walk the ground underneath it, because the whole load releases at once here and the planning belongs below the roof rather than on it
