Metal Roofing in Lolo, MT

Lolo sits just south of Missoula, where US-93 heads up the Bitterroot and US-12 turns west along Lolo Creek toward Lolo Pass. That makes for a wide mix of roofs in one small area: neighborhoods on the open valley floor, homes tucked into the foothills and timber, and cabins, shops and outbuildings farther up the creek.

Each setting asks something different of a roof. On the valley floor it's wind and full summer sun. In the trees it's shade, needles and lingering snow, which keep a roof damp and feed ice dams at the eaves. Farther up toward the pass, snow comes earlier and stays longer.

Metal handles all three well. It sheds snow rather than carrying it, it doesn't hold needles and moisture the way shingles do, and it has no tabs for wind to lift. For homes in the trees, the ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys and good attic ventilation are just as important as the panels. For homes near grass and timber, a metal roof over a Class A fire-rated assembly is a real safety upgrade.

Cabins and shops up the creek are often a good fit for corrugated metal, while most homes lean toward standing seam.
