Roofing contractor in Sprucedale.
Garland Contracting works from Sprucedale, so a roofing quote in McMurrich/Monteith starts with a short drive. We install and repair shingle and steel roofs on homes, cabins, shops and farm buildings.
Roofs on wooded rural lots
Properties around Sprucedale back onto forest, and roofs live with that. Branches rub on shingles, needles pile up in valleys and shade keeps the surface damp. Moss grows on the north slope, and the roof wears faster where it stays wet.
Trim branches back from the roof edge. Clear valleys and gutters in spring and fall. If moss grows thick on a slope, the roof may need cleaning or a repair, and thick moss can lift shingle edges and hold water.
Steel on a shop, shingle on a house
Rural properties around Sprucedale mix building types. A shop, a garage or a barn does well with a steel roof that sheds snow and needs little upkeep. A house often carries shingles. A cabin may take either.
The photo shows a steel roofing job from our work. We install the roof, the flashing and the trim, and we plan where the snow slides so it does not drop on a door or a path.
What a re-roof involves
- Strip the old roof surface and inspect the deck.
- Replace soft or damaged deck boards.
- Install ice and water membrane at the eaves and in valleys, then underlayment.
- Fit drip edge, flashing and vents.
- Install the new shingles or steel panels and trim.
- Clean the site and check the gutters.
If we find rot in the deck or the roof edge, we repair it. See rot repair in Sprucedale.
Moss, needles and roof care
A roof under spruce and pine needs care. Sweep needles from valleys, trim branches that touch the surface and clean gutters. On a shingle roof, thick moss can lift edges and hold water against the surface. On steel, debris traps water at seams. A short check each spring and fall adds years to the roof.

Roof repair or a new roof
A repair makes sense when damage stays local: a lifted tab, a worn vent boot or a spot of failed flashing. A new roof makes sense when shingles cup and crack across a slope, when granules wash into the gutters in quantity or when leaks keep returning. Steel panels fail at seams, fasteners and trim, and a repair can fix those. We look at the roof and tell you which path fits.
Attic air and roof life
An attic that stays cold and dry keeps a roof healthy. Air comes in through the soffit, flows up under the roof and leaves at the ridge or gable. Insulation on the attic floor holds heat in the house. When those pieces work together, snow melts at the same rate across the roof and the deck stays dry. When they do not, you get ice dams, damp insulation and a roof that ages faster.
We look at the attic when we inspect a roof. Send a photo of the attic floor and the vents, if you can reach them without climbing onto the roof. We tell you whether the roof needs more air or more insulation, along with the repair.
Gutters, fascia and the roof edge
Water leaves the roof at the edge, so the edge decides where it goes next. A gutter that drains away from the wall protects the siding and the foundation. A fascia board that stays dry holds the gutter in place. Drip edge sends water into the gutter and keeps it off the wood.
Needles and leaves fill gutters on wooded lots, and the weight pulls them off the fascia. Clean them in spring and fall. If you see water running down a wall, a stain below the roof edge or a gutter that sags, send photos. We repair the edge as part of a roof job, and we replace rotted fascia with new wood.

Questions about roofing in Sprucedale
Do you roof barns and sheds?
Yes. We roof barns, shops, garages and other outbuildings, and steel is a common choice.
Why does moss grow on my roof?
Shade and moisture. A roof under trees stays damp, and moss grows where it does not dry. Trimming branches and clearing debris helps.
Are you based in Sprucedale?
Yes. Our base address is 2170 Stisted Rd S in McMurrich/Monteith.
Do you repair a roof leak?
Yes. We trace the water from the stain to the source and fix it, and we repair any wood that water reached.
