What's under an old Superior roof

Many homes in Superior and along the Clark Fork were built long ago, and their roofs have a history. It's common to find shingles over older shingles, and sometimes wood shingles over spaced board decking that was never meant for asphalt.

A free inspection, including a look in the attic, tells us what you have. From there we explain the options: what a tear-off involves, whether new decking is needed, and how shingles or metal would go on.

Local roof conditions

What we look for on Superior-area roofs

Older homes, wood heat, and canyon weather along the Clark Fork.

Wood-stove chimneys

Chimneys and stovepipes are common leak points. Flashing, crickets, and storm collars need checking.

Spaced board decking

Old homes once roofed with wood shingles may have gaps between boards. Shingles need solid decking.

Multiple layers

Roofs that have been covered over may already be at the code limit.

Canyon wind

Wind channels down the Clark Fork and lifts loose edges.

Snow and ice

Cold air settles in the valley and ice builds at the eaves.

Forest and fire

Timbered slopes around town are wildland-urban interface.

Hidden-fastener standing seam metal

For homes on the timbered slopes around Superior, standing seam resists embers and has no exposed screws to back out in canyon wind.

Steel panels don't burn, and metal roofing systems can achieve Class A fire ratings when installed over approved underlayment. Hidden fasteners mean no exposed screws or washers to wear out, smooth panels shed snow, and the clean lines look sharp on any home. Need something simpler for a shop or cabin? Budget-friendly exposed-fastener metal is available too.

Chimneys and wood heat

Wood heat is common here, and chimneys are one of the most common roof leaks. A proper chimney flashing has step flashing and counter-flashing, and wide chimneys need a cricket behind them to split water and snow. For metal stovepipes, the roof jack and storm collar must be right. Ask your chimney professional about clearances and spark arresters. Your roof flashing is our job.

Re-roofing over old board decking

If your attic shows wide boards with gaps between them, the old roof was probably wood shingles. Asphalt shingles need a solid deck, so we'd add sheathing over the boards after tear-off. Some metal roofs can be installed over spaced boards or purlins. We'll explain which fits your house.

Why hire a commercial roofer for your home

Commercial-grade standards for your home

Revive Commercial Roofing's residential division brings commercial roofing habits to homes in Superior: careful inspections, real leak tracing, and close attention to the details.

Commercial-level inspection & documentation

We inspect a house the way we inspect a commercial building: the whole roof surface, flashing, vents, valleys, edges, and the attic where we can reach it. You get photos and written findings to keep.

Moisture & leak diagnostics

Tracing leaks on large low-slope commercial roofs, where water can travel a long way before it shows up inside, is everyday work for us. We bring that same patience to the stain on your ceiling.

Flashing, ventilation & the details

Most leaks start at the details: chimneys, walls, skylights, valleys, and pipe vents. We plan flashing and attic ventilation carefully instead of treating them as an afterthought.

Big, complex roofs

Commercial work means planning and managing large jobs. Multi-level roofs, lots of valleys and dormers, big lake and mountain homes, and long ranch roofs are work we're comfortable with.

Revive manages every residential job. Installation is done by roofing subcontractors we choose and coordinate, held to the same standards.

FAQ

Superior, MT roofing FAQ

My roof leaks around the wood-stove chimney. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Most chimney leaks are flashing problems. We may add a cricket behind wide chimneys. Ask a chimney professional about stove clearances.

I found gaps between the boards in my attic. Is that a problem?

Those are likely spaced boards from an old wood-shingle roof. Asphalt shingles need solid decking, so new sheathing goes on during a replacement.

Can you put a new roof over my old one?

If there's already more than one layer, no. If there's one sound, dry layer, code may allow it in some cases, but a tear-off is usually the better value.

Do you serve Alberton?

Yes. Call or text us to confirm your address.
