Republic Roofing at a glance
Republic Roofing takes roof calls for Republic and the rural towns within about 75 km of it. A local roofer reads the frame, the eave and the covering against the Ferry County snow and wind rules, writes the scope line by line and does the work once it is agreed in writing.
If water is coming through a ceiling, start with a container under the wettest spot and turn off any light or appliance in the wet area at the switch. Keep clear of any ceiling that sags, because it can come down without warning. Then call and say where the water shows and when it began.
A roof in this county carries a heavy winter and open-ground wind. Ferry County sets a minimum roof snow load of 40 pounds per square foot and suggests 55 pounds or more at 3,000 feet and above, and it requires ice barrier underlayment. The snow load guide explains what those figures mean for a frame.

Why homeowners call us
Why Republic Roofing
Answered on the line
The line is answered by a person. A local roofer is sent as soon as one is free, and the arrival time is confirmed on the call rather than promised in advance.
Read against county figures
The frame is checked against the county snow minimum and the edges against the 110 mile per hour basic wind speed, and the figures used are written on the record.
Records kept for the file
Each visit leaves photographs, a sketch, measurements and a statement of anything that could not be reached. The record is the owner's to keep.
Registration checked
Roofing is a specialty that Washington requires contractors to register for. The registration number is given in writing and checked with the Department of Labor and Industries before work starts.
No price on the website
No dollar figure appears on this site, because a number given without seeing the roof would be invented. The scope and its price are set in writing after the visit.
How it works
From phone call to fixed, in four steps
Note the water, the sag or the storm
Say where the water or the sag shows, when it started and whether a storm, a gust or a heavy snow came before it. Photograph anything from the ground before it is moved.
A roofer reads the attic and the eave
The attic is read first for sag, staining and wet insulation. The eave is read for the ice barrier, the flashing and the gutter, and the covering comes last.
A written scope, line by line
Each repair is written with its reason, the fixing and the county figure it was checked against. Nothing is added later without being explained first.
Work agreed, then started
The work starts after the scope and the registration check are in writing. Photographs of each stage are kept for the homeowner.

Job stories
Typical jobs around Ferry County
A ridge that drops after a heavy winter
- What homeowners notice
- After a heavy snowfall the owner notices a sag along the ridge and a door at the top of the stairs that has begun to stick. The covering looks sound from the ground.
- What we do
- The attic is read first. The rafters are measured against the county snow minimum at fixed points, and a brace that has cracked at its joint is marked for sistering. The covering is left alone until the frame is strengthened.
- What to expect
- The frame work is written as its own line in the scope, with the readings attached, and the owner has a record to compare at the next spring visit.
Ice at the eave and a stain in the thaw
- What homeowners notice
- A ridge of ice forms at the eave every winter, and in the thaw a stain appears on the top-floor ceiling near an outside wall.
- What we do
- The eave is checked for the ice barrier and the flashing, and the attic is checked for thin insulation at the outside wall and blocked soffit vents. The ice is cleared without chipping the shingles.
- What to expect
- The owner receives a list with two parts: the roof-edge repair and the attic work, so the cause is addressed and not only the ice.
Vents and gutters checked after a fire season
- What homeowners notice
- After a season of fires in the county, the owner wants a record of the vents, the screens, the gutters and the eave before the next fire season.
- What we do
- Each vent is measured and its screen checked from the attic side. The gutters are cleared of dry debris and a guard is fitted where it builds fastest. Gaps at the eave are sealed or noted.
- What to expect
- A written list of openings with their condition and the work done, kept with the house file for the next season.
