Residential roofing

Elevations here run higher than Kalispell and snowfall averages 65 to 80 inches depending on where the home sits. Roofs at Big Mountain and along Whitefish Lake's north shore need to handle real snow loads and ice dam risk, which drives most recommendations toward metal.

Most of the homes we reroof end up with one of two systems:

We also handle roof repair, full tear-off and replacement, new construction roofing on custom builds, and seasonal inspections. If your roof took wind or hail damage, we document it for insurance and meet your adjuster on-site.

Commercial roofing

The commercial core here includes boutique hotels, restaurants, ski lodges, and retail along Central Avenue. We install and maintain:

We schedule around your busy season (ski and summer), keep a clean perimeter, and stage materials away from front-of-house foot traffic.

Why owners pick Sisu

We are a Malarkey Certified Contractor, which means extended manufacturer warranties on the shingles we install and access to premium, impact-rated product lines. For owners who are not in town year-round, we run jobs remotely with daily photos, scheduled calls, and electronic billing. Read local feedback on our reviews page.

Local roofing conditions

Whitefish elevations run from about 3,000 feet downtown to over 4,500 feet on Big Mountain. That matters because ground snow loads vary a lot within the same zip code. Homes at Whitefish Mountain Resort and up Haskill Basin Road face snow loads well above city-center homes, so trusses and fasteners need to be sized accordingly. Wildfire risk also drives material choice toward Class A metal systems and closed eaves.

We pull permits through the City of Whitefish and Flathead County, and we are familiar with resort-area HOA review requirements.

Elsewhere in the Flathead Valley

We also work throughout the rest of the valley, including Kalispell and Columbia Falls, and east along US-2 to West Glacier.
