Residential roofing

Roofs here deal with an unusual mix: lake-effect humidity, strong winds off the lake, summer UV that is more intense than most of the valley, and the same winter freeze-thaw everyone else sees. Cabins in Woods Bay and homes along Swan River tend to see extra weathering on the lake-facing slopes.

The two systems we install most:

• Standing seam metal for lakeside cabins, steep-pitch mountain homes, and properties near wildfire-prone terrain
• Malarkey architectural shingles for village and Eagle Bend homes that want a traditional look with strong hail performance

We also handle roof repair, full replacement, new construction roofing, and seasonal inspections. Storm damage and insurance claim work is routine.

Commercial roofing

The commercial core here is small but busy: restaurants, galleries, boutique hotels, and lakeside lodges. We install and maintain:

• TPO and EPDM membranes for reflective or long-lasting flat roofs
• Standing seam metal on larger lodges and mixed-use buildings
• Commercial shingle for sloped retail and hospitality

We work around summer tourist traffic, stage materials away from customer entrances, and send daily photo updates.

Why owners pick Sisu

We are a Malarkey Certified Contractor, which unlocks enhanced manufacturer warranties on the shingles we install. For seasonal owners, we run the whole project remotely with daily photos, scheduled calls, and electronic billing. Read local feedback on our reviews page.

Local roofing conditions

Bigfork sits at about 2,907 feet on the north end of Flathead Lake. Snowfall in town is less than Columbia Falls or Whitefish, but wind and humidity off the lake are a bigger factor. Lakeside homes see accelerated wear on shingle granules on the south and west exposures. Homes up Swan Hill Road and Ferndale can see heavier snow and wildfire risk from the Jewel Basin and Swan Valley direction. We account for all of that in material and flashing recommendations.

We pull permits through Flathead County and work with lakefront setback and septic rules where applicable.

Elsewhere around Flathead Lake

Along the rest of the lake we also cover Lakeside on the west shore and Polson at the south end. Our home base is Kalispell.
