Roofing Services in Pullman
Russell Quality Roofing installs Owens Corning asphalt architectural shingles and standing seam metal roofing. We are an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, a ranking that places us among the top 1% of roofing contractors nationwide. Choose a service below to see what is included.
Roof Replacement
Pullman roofs face cold winters, warm summers, and swings in between. A replacement lets you start over with a system matched to your building. We build each plan around your property and your choice of material.
- Full Tear-Off: We remove the old roofing all the way to the deck. Then we inspect the deck and fix any damage before anything new goes down.
- Underlayment and Water Protection: On shingle and metal roofs, we install Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment. Ice and water shield goes at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. From October through March, we use a flexible version that bonds in cold weather.
- Ventilation: We plan ventilation for every home. Intake ventilation is decided at your pre-site strategy meeting.
- Cleanup: We clean the site and run a magnetic sweep for stray nails to the best of our ability.
- Walk-Through: We review the completed roof and the warranty details with you.
For Pullman Homes
Owens Corning architectural shingle systems installed by Russell Quality Roofing on homes carry a 50-year product warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty. Both include a one-time transfer to the next homeowner.
For Commercial Buildings
A commercial replacement begins with a close look at your building and its current roof. Tear-off and disposal follow local requirements. On shingle and metal roofs, we use Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment and ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. You can choose commercial-grade architectural shingles or standing seam metal. We also take on limited flat roofing applications, so call us to talk through your building. Commercial warranties depend on the roofing system and the manufacturer. We go over the terms with you at your estimate.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal gives you a durable option with a clean, modern look. Our superintendents are MBCI certified for metal roofing installation, and they supervise our metal roof installs. Metal warranties vary by manufacturer and system. We explain the terms for your roof at your estimate. Many home replacements finish in one to three days. Roof size, weather, and material all affect the schedule.
Roof Repairs
A small leak or a few lifted shingles rarely stay small. Pullman gets about 33 inches of snow in a year, and water finds its way into weak spots. Catching a problem early usually keeps the repair simple.
- Shingle Repairs: We replace missing, cracked, or damaged shingles and try to match the shingles already on your roof.
- Flashing and Edge Details: We repair flashing at chimneys and vents and along roof edges, common spots for water to enter.
- Roof Leaks: We trace observed leaks to identify the source and recommend the right fix. Active leaks tend to be easier to find. Older, dormant leaks are harder to trace without visible moisture.
- Commercial Repairs: We repair shingle and metal roofs on commercial buildings and document the work with photos and video as needed.
- Attic Ventilation: Poor airflow can cause problems under the roof. We look at ventilation as part of a repair.
- Repair or Replace: When leaks keep coming back or damage is widespread, replacement may be the smarter choice. We explain our reasoning first.
- Structural Repairs: Russell Construction & Excavation handles repairs to damaged trusses or rafters.
Roof Inspections
An inspection shows you the condition of your roof before a small issue grows. We recommend one every year and another after a major storm. Roofs older than 20 years benefit from more frequent checks.
- Free Standard Residential Inspections: We examine the roof surface, shingles, flashing, and gutters.
- Photo and Video Documentation: We capture what we find as needed, so you can see it too.
- Clear Findings: You learn whether the roof needs maintenance, a repair, or a replacement.
- Insurance Documentation: After a storm, we can provide inspection documentation for your insurer. You contact your insurance company and follow its claim process.
Emergency Roofing
Wind, falling branches, or heavy snow can expose a roof without warning. We provide 24/7 emergency attention. Here is what to expect:
- Dry-In: We dry in the damaged area as quickly as possible. In some cases, tarps are part of the process.
- Roof Triage: Triage is a short-term response while permanent repairs are planned. It has a separate charge.
- Permanent Fix: Once the roof is protected, we recommend a repair or a replacement. Damage across a large share of the roof, often more than 25%, usually points to replacement.
- Documentation: Photos and video of the damage can help when you talk with your insurer.

New Construction Roofing
A new building and its roof work best when they are planned together. We roof new homes and buildings with the same materials and standards we use on every replacement.
- Material Choices: Owens Corning asphalt architectural shingles or standing seam metal roofing.
- Water Protection: Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment, plus ice and water shield in vulnerable areas.
- Ventilation Plan: We plan for attic or roof-space airflow from the start.
- Metal Roofing Oversight: MBCI certified superintendents supervise our metal roof installs.
- Warranty Review: We review the warranty for the system you choose.
Gutters and Insulation
Water control and heat control go together on a roof. Both help your home through Pullman’s freeze and thaw.
Continuous Gutters in Pullman
Gutters move water away from your roof, siding, and foundation. We form continuous gutters on site to fit your building. With fewer seams than sectional gutters, they give leaks fewer places to start. We can add them with a roof replacement or as a stand-alone job. Gutters may have to come off during a roof replacement, depending on the job, the access, and the site.
Insulation in Pullman
Heat that leaks into the attic can melt snow on the roof. The water can refreeze at the eaves and build ice dams. Insulation and ventilation work as a pair to limit those conditions. Insulation levels should meet local building code. Ask us about insulation options at your estimate.
Roofing Built for the Palouse Climate
Pullman sits at about 2,500 feet in the rolling hills of the Palouse. January lows average near 28 degrees, and July highs average about 83. The area gets roughly 33 inches of snow and about 20 inches of total precipitation a year. A roof here handles sun, cold, and snow in the same year.
Here is how we plan for it:
- Full tear-off, so we see the condition of the deck before the new roof goes on.
- Owens Corning UDL 50 underlayment on shingle and metal roofs.
- Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, in a flexible version from October through March.
- Ventilation planned for each building.
- Shingle or standing seam metal, so you can choose what fits your property.
- Year-round installation. Cold weather alone does not stop a replacement. Rain, unsafe wind, or ice on the deck will.
Roofing Warranties for Homes
Owens Corning architectural shingle systems installed by Russell Quality Roofing on residential roofs carry a 50-year product warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty. Both include a one-time transfer to the next homeowner.
Metal roofing warranties vary by manufacturer and system. Commercial roofing warranties depend on the roofing system and the manufacturer. We review the terms for your roof at your estimate.
Construction and Excavation in Pullman
Russell Construction & Excavation serves the Moscow-Pullman corridor and surrounding areas. We pick materials and building methods for strength and a long service life. Choose a service below to see what is included.
Pole Buildings & Pole Barns
A pole building can hold your vehicles, tools, supplies, or animals. We build for Inland Northwest weather using materials and methods chosen for structural strength.
- Pole Buildings: Storage and shop buildings sized for your property and how you will use them.
- Pole Barns: Barns used for storage, workspace, or livestock shelter.
- Lean-Tos: Covered space added alongside a building.
- Site Work: Our excavation and concrete work can prepare the site, which keeps more of the project with one company.
Tell us how the building will be used. We will help you choose its size, layout, and location.
Custom Decks
The best decks are designed around how a household uses its outdoor space. We design and build custom decks with careful craftsmanship that stands up to the seasons.
- Strong Posts: We do not use 4x4 posts for our deck systems. We use at least 6x6 posts.
- Steady Underfoot: Stronger posts help a deck feel stable and keep movement down.
- Fit to Your Home: We lay out the deck to suit your house and your yard.
- Lasting Materials: We choose materials for long-term performance as well as appearance.
Share your ideas at the estimate, and we will help shape the plan.
Siding
Siding protects your home and shapes how it looks from the street. We help you pick a material for your property and install it to professional construction standards. Options we discuss include:
- Lap Siding: Overlapping boards in a familiar, classic style.
- Hardie Board Siding: A fiber cement option built for durability.
- Panel Siding: Big panels that cover wall space efficiently.
Curious about another style? Ask, and we will go over what each option offers.
Soffits
Soffits close off the underside of the eaves and support attic airflow. We install them as one part of a complete exterior.
- Ventilation: Soffit vents bring air into the attic to work with roof ventilation and limit moisture.
- Clean Lines: Soffits finish the edge of the roofline.
- Coordinated Work: We can plan soffits alongside siding, gutters, or a new roof.
Excavation & Concrete Services
Every project depends on what happens at ground level. We provide residential and commercial excavation, site preparation, and grading. The Palouse is made of rolling hills, so slope and drainage deserve attention on many sites. Our services include:
- Site Preparation and Land Clearing: We prepare building sites and clear the ground.
- Grading and Drainage: We shape the ground so water drains away from buildings, driveways, and foundations.
- Foundation Excavation: We excavate for foundations and footings.
- Utility Trenching: We trench for water, sewer, and electrical lines.
- Septic Systems: We handle septic system work including excavation.
- Driveways and Private Roads: We build driveways and private roads, including gravel.
- Block Retaining Walls: We build block retaining walls for slopes and level areas.
- Concrete Footings and Walls: We pour residential concrete footings and walls.
- Demolition: We take down existing structures to clear the way for new work.
