Community Overview

Population

12,500

Housing Stock

Mix of university-adjacent student housing, established single-family homes dating to the 1960s-1990s, and newer construction (2000s+). Older homes have aging roofs, outdated windows, and deteriorating siding. Newer homes often lack proper gutter maintenance.

Weather Challenges in Cheney

• Winter temperatures drop to -10°F with snow accumulation 30-40 inches. Ice dams form on south-facing roofs.
• Spring snowmelt overwhelms gutters. Foundation drainage systems often inadequate in older homes.
• Summer hail events occur 1-2 times per season, most common April-June.
• Wind gusts exceed 30 mph during spring storms, stressing siding and gutters.
• Humidity and shade from tall trees promote moss and algae on north-facing roofs.

Our Services for Cheney

Ice Dam Removal & Prevention

Recurring ice or winter leaks need an assessment of the complete roof and attic, including air leakage, insulation, ventilation and drainage. The appropriate repair depends on the building and installed products. Confirm current manufacturer instructions and applicable code requirements before choosing work or accessories; no single upgrade guarantees an ice-dam-free roof.

Aging Roof Replacement

Homes built 1970s-1990s have roofs reaching 25-30 year lifespan. We replace with premium GAF or CertainTeed shingles and proper underlayment.

Gutter Guards & Cleaning

Cheney's tree-lined streets mean heavy leaf-drop. Gutter guards reduce fall maintenance to 1-2 cleanings versus monthly.

Window Upgrades

Potential energy savings depend on the existing home, selected products, climate, utility rates and installation. Compare documented product ratings and request an assessment using the home’s actual energy use before estimating savings or payback.

Siding Repair & Replacement

Compare siding appearance, finish care and project cost using the actual product options. Installation details, maintenance and warranty coverage must follow the selected system’s current written documents and the requirements of the wall assembly.

Neighborhoods We Serve

• South Hill—established residential area with mature trees and older homes. Ice dam and roof aging common.
• Near EWU—college-adjacent rentals and university-owned housing. Roofs often deferred maintenance due to absentee landlords.

• Northeast Cheney—newer construction (2000s+). Generally newer roofs but gutters often undersized.
• Sprague Avenue Corridor—commercial and mixed-use. Older commercial roofs prime for upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent ice dams on my Cheney home?

Ice-dam concerns require an assessment of the roof assembly, air leakage, insulation, ventilation and drainage. The appropriate work depends on the building and installed products. Confirm the applicable manufacturer instructions and code requirements before choosing a repair or an accessory.

Why is my roof always covered in moss?

Have moss and staining assessed for the actual roof material and condition. Use only a cleaning or prevention method permitted by that product’s current written instructions. Moss alone does not establish a need for roof replacement.

When should I replace my aging roof?

Roof age is one part of the assessment. Review the installed product, leak history, visible condition, previous repairs and the condition of the complete roof assembly before comparing repair and replacement. Age or moss alone does not establish that replacement is necessary.

Will new windows reduce my heating costs?

Potential energy savings depend on the existing home, selected products, climate, utility rates and installation. Compare documented product ratings and request an assessment using the home’s actual energy use before estimating savings or payback.
