Metal Roofing in Sandpoint, ID

Sandpoint is the deepest-snow city we serve — on the north shore of Lake Pend Oreille, in the shadow of Schweitzer's ~300 inches a year. The city builds to a 55 psf roof snow load with ice-barrier underlayment required by code, and parcels climbing toward the resort go far higher. Under that weight, shingle roofs form ice dams: snow melts against a warm deck, refreezes at the cold eave, and backs water up under the shingles until it finds the living room.

Metal is the mountain-town fix. A smooth standing-seam panel sheds snow before it can sit and refreeze, cutting both the sustained load and the ice-dam leaks — snow guards manage where it comes off. It's Class A fire-rated for the Selkirk wildland-urban interface, rides out freeze-thaw for decades, and lasts 40–70 years. For a lake-and-ski town where re-roofing is a genuine ordeal, it's usually the last roof the house needs.
