Drag the Slider, See the Difference Yourself

Six real south-central Montana jobs from our own employee crews — roof tear-offs, architectural-shingle upgrades, storm-damage repairs, gutter installs, standing-seam metal roofing, and a full roof-and-gutter overhaul. Drag any slider left or right to compare before and after on the same house, same angle, same lighting.

How to Read These

Same House, Same Angle, Same Lighting

Every comparison on this page is the same house photographed before the job started and after the job finished. We don't switch angles, we don't change lenses, and we don't filter shingle color. The drag handle in the middle of each slider lets you wipe between the two so you can see what actually changed.

Drag to the left to expose more of the "after." Drag to the right to expose more of the "before." Each pair has a caption underneath naming the job, the town, and the rough scope. For wider sets of finished projects and detail shots, see our our-work gallery.

01 — Roof Tear-Off & Replace

Aging Asphalt Roof, Billings

This Billings ranch roof was past due — granule loss showing up in the gutters, lifted tabs on the windward slope, and years of Montana freeze-thaw wearing down every exposed nail head. We tore the whole roof off down to the deck, laid synthetic underlayment across the full field, and installed fresh architectural shingles in a warm red blend with new flashing. Our own crew, start to finish, with a magnet sweep of the yard before we left.

02 — Shingle Upgrade

Gambrel-Roof Home, Laurel

The tired shingles on this Laurel gambrel-roof home were shedding granules and losing tabs every time a windstorm rolled through the valley. We tore it down to the deck, ran fresh underlayment, and installed dimensional architectural shingles in a single clean color spec — paired with the home's wood board-and-batten siding for a look that carries. A roofer worked the edges by hand to keep the courses straight all the way to the ridge.

03 — Storm Damage Repair

Hail-Hit Roof, Red Lodge

A summer hailstorm worked over the back slope of this Red Lodge home — bruised shingles across the whole field and worn granules exposing the mat. We documented every dent for the insurance carrier, tore off the affected slope, and re-roofed it in dimensional gray to match. The photo report went in and the carrier accepted it as written. When you spot streaks, spots on the ceiling, or worn granules in the gutters, those are signs it's time to call.

04 — Gutter & Downspout Install

Seamless Gutter Detail, Columbus

The old gutters on this Columbus home couldn't keep up with spring snowmelt — overflow at the corners, saturated soil at the foundation, and ice backing up under the eaves every winter. We pulled the old runs and installed continuous seamless aluminum gutters with hidden hangers, tied cleanly into the standing-seam roof edge and sized the downspouts for the roof load. Clean detailing where the roof meets the gutter is the difference between a system that lasts and one that clogs.

05 — Metal & Standing-Seam Roofing

Standing-Seam Conversion, Joliet

This Joliet home swapped an aging shingle roof for a green standing-seam metal system built to shed Montana snow load for decades. We ran long, clean panel runs with hidden fasteners, added snow guards along the eaves, and set red roof vents to match the trim. A metal roof like this is a once-and-done decision — and it earns its keep every winter the snow slides off instead of piling up.

06 — Full Roof & Gutter Overhaul

Two-Story Home, Park City

This Park City two-story came to us with everything past due at once — a worn roof, a gutter edge shedding water at the corners, and general wear across the exterior. We ran it as one coordinated job: full tear-off and re-roof with dark dimensional architectural shingles, fresh seamless gutters, and clean edge detailing all the way around. Owner-checked from the first walk-through to the final nail. The "after" looks like a different house.
