Its housing runs from historic homes and student rentals on College Hill to newer subdivisions on the surrounding ridges — all facing cold, snowy Palouse winters and relentless wind. We provide roofing, ice-dam fixes, and exterior work built for Pullman's climate and its mix of historic and rental properties.

Housing Stock

Pullman is Washington State University's hometown on the rolling Palouse, where historic homes and dense student rentals near campus mix with mid-century neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the surrounding hills. Aging campus-area homes carry older roofs and dated ventilation, while the open Palouse leaves every roof exposed to wind and heavy, wind-driven snow.

Weather Challenges in Pullman

• Snowfall: Pullman averages 40-50 inches a year, with wind-driven snow drifting and loading roofs.
• Palouse wind: open, treeless hills expose Pullman roofs to strong, persistent winds that lift shingles and stress flashing.
• Ice dams: older campus-area and College Hill homes with weak insulation and ventilation are prone to ice dams and leaks.
• Freeze-thaw cycles: frequent winter temperature swings accelerate shingle and flashing wear.
• Summer hail: Palouse thunderstorms occasionally bring hail that damages aging roofs.
• Rental housing: dense WSU student rentals often have deferred maintenance, so small roof problems grow before they're caught.

Frequently Asked Questions

What roof damage is common in Pullman winters?

Wind-driven snow, ice dams, and freeze-thaw on the open Palouse. Older College Hill homes with weak ventilation suffer most. Ice-and-water shield, balanced ventilation, and wind-rated shingles are the keys to a durable roof here.

How does Palouse wind affect Pullman roofs?

Pullman's open, treeless hills bring strong, persistent winds that lift shingles and fatigue flashing. The property’s exposure, structure and selected roof system determine the specification. Fastening, underlayment, flashing and other components must follow the applicable product instructions and project requirements.

I'm a Pullman landlord — can you handle student rentals?

Yes. We work with owners of WSU student and rental housing on cost-effective re-roofs, repairs, and scheduled inspections, with clear documentation and minimal disruption to tenants.

Should I repair or replace my Pullman 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.

Do you handle hail and storm damage claims?

We can document visible damage and provide a written repair or replacement scope. Your insurer determines coverage and payment under your policy, including deductibles, depreciation, limits and exclusions. Confirm claim requirements and any proposed product discount directly with your insurer.
