Roof Replacement
Replacing a roof is a big decision, so we plan each project before the first shingle comes off. Every replacement includes:
- Full Tear-Off: We completely remove the existing roofing materials, so we can check the deck underneath and repair any damage first.
- Underlayment: On shingle and metal roofs, we install Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment.
- Ice and Water Shield: We place it at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. From October through March, we use a flexible version that bonds in cold weather.
- Ventilation: We ventilate each building for proper exhaust. Intake ventilation is set at your pre-site strategy meeting.
- Cleanup and Review: We clean up, including a magnetic sweep for stray nails to the best of our ability. Then we walk through the finished roof with you.
For Clarkston Homes
Choose Owens Corning asphalt architectural shingles or standing seam metal roofing. Most residential replacements take one to three days, depending on roof size, weather, and materials.
For Commercial Buildings
We install shingle and standing seam metal systems on commercial buildings. We also take on limited flat roofing applications. Timelines range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the building and the system.
Metal and Warranties
Our superintendents are MBCI certified for metal roofing installation, and they supervise our metal roof installs.
Roof Repairs
A small leak or loose shingle is easier to fix than the damage it causes later. We repair homes and commercial buildings in Clarkston. Our repair work includes:
- Shingle Repairs: We replace cracked, damaged, or missing shingles and match your existing roof as closely as we can.
- Flashing and Edges: We check and repair flashing, and we reseal around chimneys, vents, and drip edges.
- Addressing Roof Leaks: We trace observed leaks to identify the source and recommend the right fix. Active leaks can usually be traced during an inspection. Older or dormant leaks are harder to pin down without visible moisture.
- Commercial Repairs: We handle leaks, flashing, and worn shingles on commercial buildings. We also take on limited flat roofing applications.
- When Replacement Makes Sense: Repeated leaks or widespread damage often point to a bigger problem. We will tell you when replacement is the better choice.
- Structural Repairs: Russell Construction & Excavation handles damaged trusses or rafters.
Roof Inspections
An inspection shows you what your roof needs before a small issue becomes a large one. We recommend one each year and after any major storm. Roofs older than 20 years benefit from checks more often.
- Free Standard Residential Inspections: We look at the roof surface, shingles, flashing, and gutters.
- Photo and Video: We document what we find as needed, so you have a clear record.
- Clear Next Steps: You learn whether the roof needs maintenance, a repair, or a replacement.
Emergency Roofing
Storms and high winds can leave a roof exposed. We provide 24/7 emergency attention. Here is how we respond:
- Dry-In: We dry in the affected area as quickly as possible to help keep more water out. Tarps may be part of the process.
- Roof Triage: Triage is a short-term response while permanent repairs are planned. It has a separate charge.
- Next Steps: After the area is protected, we recommend a repair or a replacement. When damage covers a large share of the roof, often more than 25%, replacement is typically more practical.
Call (208) 791-5252 if your roof is damaged.
New Construction Roofing
A new building needs a roof planned alongside the structure. We roof new homes and buildings with Owens Corning asphalt architectural shingles or standing seam metal roofing.
- Protection: Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment and ice and water shield in vulnerable areas.
- Ventilation: A ventilation plan for each building.
- Metal Oversight: Our superintendents are MBCI certified for metal roofing installation, and they supervise our metal roof installs.
Gutters and Insulation
Gutters carry water off your roof. Insulation and ventilation control the heat that builds up or escapes through it. Both protect your roof and your home.
Continuous Gutters in Clarkston
- We form them on site to fit your home.
- They have fewer seams than sectional gutters, so there are fewer places for leaks to start.
- Properly working gutters direct water away from your roof, siding, and foundation.
- We can install them with a roof replacement or on their own.
- During a roof replacement, gutters may have to come off. It depends on the job, the access, and the site.
Insulation in Clarkston
Heat escaping from a poorly insulated attic can melt snow on the roof. That water can refreeze at the eaves and form ice dams. Insulation and attic ventilation work together to reduce that risk. Insulation levels should meet local code. Ask about insulation options during your estimate.
Roofing for Clarkston’s Climate
Clarkston sits at about 810 feet in the Lewis-Clark Valley. Summers are hot and dry, and some days reach 105 degrees. Winters in the valley are mild compared with much of the region, but storms still bring snow and cold snaps.
Heat stresses roofing from above and builds up in the attic from below. Winter storms test the eaves and valleys. We plan for both.
- Attic ventilation helps manage summer heat.
- A flexible ice and water shield protects eaves and valleys in cold months.
- Cold weather alone does not stop a roof replacement. Rain, unsafe wind, and ice on the deck do. We work year-round when the deck is dry and free of ice.
Roofing Warranties
- On homes in Clarkston, Owens Corning architectural shingle systems installed by Russell Quality Roofing carry a 50-year product warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty. Both include a one-time transfer to the next homeowner.
- Standing seam metal roofing warranties vary by manufacturer and system.
- Commercial roof warranties depend on the roofing system and the manufacturer.
- We review the terms for your roof during your estimate.
Construction and Excavation in Clarkston
Russell Construction & Excavation builds and prepares property across Clarkston and surrounding areas. We choose materials and building methods for strength and long-term performance. Pick a service below to learn more.
Pole Buildings & Pole Barns
Pole buildings give you room for storage, a workshop, or livestock shelter. We build them for Inland Northwest weather and choose materials and methods for structural strength.
- Pole Buildings and Pole Barns: Sized to your property and how you plan to use the space.
- Lean-Tos: Lean-to structures that add covered space.
- Site Work: Our excavation and concrete services can prepare the ground, so more of the project stays with one company.
Share how you plan to use the building. We will help you plan the size, layout, and site.
Custom Decks
A deck should fit the way you use your yard. We design and build custom decks with craftsmanship that holds up through the seasons.
- Strong Framing: We do not use 4x4 posts for our deck systems. We use at least 6x6 posts.
- Solid Feel: Strong framing helps a deck feel stable underfoot and not move excessively.
- Planned Around You: We plan size, shape, and layout around your home.
- Lasting Materials: We choose materials for long-term performance, not only first impressions.
Share your ideas at your estimate, and we will help you plan the deck.
Siding
Siding protects your home and adds curb appeal. We help you choose the right material for your property and install it to professional construction standards. Options we discuss include:
- Lap Siding: Overlapping boards with a classic look.
- Hardie Board Siding: A fiber cement option known for durability.
- Panel Siding: Large panels that cover wall areas efficiently.
Ask about other siding styles, and we will explain the benefits of each.
Soffits
Soffits close in the underside of your roof overhang. They also help with ventilation and moisture control. We install them as part of a complete exterior system.
- Ventilation: Soffit vents let air into the attic, which works with roof ventilation to limit moisture.
- A Finished Look: Clean soffits complete the roofline.
- Coordinated Work: We can plan soffits with siding, gutters, or a roof replacement.
Excavation & Concrete Services
Every strong building starts with the ground beneath it. We provide residential and commercial excavation, site preparation, and grading. Each site is different, so we plan the work around yours.
- Site Preparation and Land Clearing: Building sites and cleared ground for new construction.
- Grading and Drainage: Ground shaped to move water away from buildings and driveways.
- Foundation Excavation: Excavation for foundations and footings.
- Utility Trenching: Trenches for water, sewer, and electrical lines.
- Septic Systems: We handle septic system work including excavation.
- Gravel Driveways and Private Roads: Driveway and road construction, including gravel.
- Block Retaining Walls: Walls that hold back slopes and create level areas.
- Concrete Footings and Walls: Residential footings and walls.
