ROOFING
Metal roofing, asphalt shingles, and roofing accessories
MONTANA ROOFING EXPERTS
Montana roofs face some of the toughest conditions in the country — heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and intense UV exposure at elevation. Western Building Center has been supplying roofing materials to Montana and Idaho builders and homeowners since 1946, and we know what works here.
Our 12 stores stock a full range of roofing materials including metal roofing panels (standing seam and exposed fastener), asphalt shingles from GAF and Owens Corning, synthetic and felt underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge vents, flashing, and every roofing accessory you need to complete the job. We carry products rated for Montana's snow load requirements and backed by manufacturer warranties that cover our climate zone.
For contractors, our roofing support goes beyond product supply. We provide detailed material takeoffs from your plans, competitive volume pricing, and boom truck delivery that places materials directly on the roof — saving your crew time and labor. Whether you're re-roofing a cabin in Eureka or building a commercial property in Kalispell, our team has the product knowledge and logistics capability to keep your roofing project on schedule.

Built for Montana Winters
Montana roofing faces challenges most regions never see — 200 or more inches of annual snowfall in mountain communities, ice dams from freeze-thaw cycles, and wind loads that can exceed 110 mph along the Rocky Mountain Front. Choosing the wrong roofing material here means premature failure and expensive repairs.
Our roofing specialists help you choose materials rated for these conditions. From impact-resistant shingles to standing seam metal that sheds snow loads cleanly, every product we recommend has been proven in our climate. We stock ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, and ventilation products that complete the roofing system.
Metal Roofing Experts
Metal roofing is the fastest-growing category in Montana construction — and for good reason. Standing seam and exposed-fastener panels handle snow loads that would damage lesser materials, last 50 or more years with minimal maintenance, and qualify for insurance discounts in wildfire-prone areas along the wildland-urban interface.
We stock and special-order metal roofing in 20 or more colors and profiles. Our team can help you calculate material quantities, coordinate delivery to remote jobsites across western Montana, and recommend the right fastening system for your climate zone and roof pitch.
Contractor Pricing and Takeoffs
Montana and Idaho contractors trust WBC for roofing projects because we do more than sell shingles. Our contractor desk provides material takeoffs from blueprints, competitive volume pricing, and staged deliveries that match your project timeline. Boom truck delivery places materials on the roof, saving your crew hours of manual hauling.
Whether you are reroofing a single Kalispell bungalow or bidding a 200-unit development in the Bitterroot Valley, our estimating team has the experience to help you win the job and deliver it profitably. Set up a WBC credit account for streamlined ordering and invoicing across all 12 locations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is metal roofing or asphalt shingles better for Montana?
Both perform well. Metal roofing lasts 50+ years, sheds snow efficiently, and is fire-resistant — ideal for wooded areas. Asphalt architectural shingles cost less upfront and come in many styles. Our team helps you weigh the trade-offs for your specific situation.
Do you deliver roofing materials to the rooftop?
Yes. Our boom trucks place shingle bundles, metal panels, and other roofing materials directly on your roof. This saves significant labor and time on every roofing project.
Can you do a roofing material takeoff from my plans?
Absolutely. Bring your blueprints or measurements to any store and our estimating team will provide a complete materials list with quantities, specifications, and pricing.
What underlayment do you recommend for Montana roofs?
We recommend synthetic underlayment for the field and ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations. Montana building codes require ice barrier in cold climate zones, and we stock products that meet or exceed those requirements.
Do you cut metal roofing panels to length?
Yes. We cut metal roofing panels to your specified lengths, reducing waste and eliminating the need for field cutting on the jobsite.
What warranty comes with your roofing products?
Warranty varies by manufacturer and product. GAF and Owens Corning offer lifetime limited warranties on their architectural shingles. Metal roofing panels carry 40-year paint warranties. Our team explains warranty details for every product.
