Roof Replacement in Billings, MT Done Right, Backed in Writing
Full tear-off, decking inspection, fresh underlayment, manufacturer-certified shingles, new flashing, and a magnet sweep of the yard before we leave. A reroof is a serious investment — you should know exactly what you’re buying, exactly what’s warrantied, and exactly who’s on the roof. At Yellowstone Roofing, that’s our own employee crews.
More Than New Shingles — A Full System Rebuild
A real roof replacement isn’t a shingle swap. It’s a tear-off down to the deck, a visual inspection of every plank for rot or soft spots, fresh ice-and-water shield — non-negotiable in Montana ice-dam country — synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, properly stepped flashing at every wall and penetration, fresh ridge venting, and manufacturer-certified shingles installed to spec.
We run every reroof with our own employee crews, and the owner walks your roof before we write a number. We send a certificate of insurance to your inbox before the truck arrives, magnet-sweep the lawn and driveway before we leave, and hand you the warranty paperwork at job close. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can register the strongest warranties on the market — and we back every roof with the same promise: Roofing Done Right. Explore all our roofing services.

Certified Install, Warranty in Writing, Clean Property
A roof replacement is a five-figure decision. Two things separate a good install from a bad one: the manufacturer credential behind the crew, and what the job site looks like the morning after.
GAF Master Elite Certified
GAF Master Elite is a manufacturer credential held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors in North America. It’s what unlocks the long-form GAF Golden Pledge warranty — the one that actually covers labor, not just material defects. The credential is renewed annually and gated on training, claims history, and license-and-insurance verification. We’re also IKO Certified and a Malarkey Certified Premium contractor.
If the contractor on your driveway can’t produce a current manufacturer-certification ID, you’re looking at a builder-grade warranty regardless of what the brochure says. Read more about our credentials.
Magnet Rake, Tarp Lawn, Driveway Cleared
The classic tear-off horror story: nails in the driveway a week after the crew leaves, shingle debris still in the flower beds come fall. We tarp the landscaping before the first shingle comes off, keep the dumpster off your bare concrete, and roll the magnet across the lawn and driveway before we sign off. One of our reviewers put it plainly: from tear-off to completion it took about 9 hours, the yard was cleaned up well, and they’ve yet to find a single nail.
Lawn tarped before tear-off, magnet rake before we leave, dumpster kept off your concrete, debris hauled away same day. Every job, every time.
Your Replacement, Start to Finish
From the first phone call to the warranty packet in your hand, here’s exactly what to expect.
1. You Call or Click
Tell us your address, roof age if you know it, and what’s prompting the call — leak, hail, end of life, or selling the house. A real person in Billings answers.
2. We Schedule
We often walk the roof within a day or two of your call — and you get a real window for the visit, not “sometime Tuesday.”
3. Free Inspection & Estimate
Full inspection: roof, attic, flashing points. A written, itemized estimate with material options and a firm install window — no obligation, ever.
4. The Actual Replacement
Lawn tarped, tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, shingles, flashing, ridge vent — run by our own employee crews. One to three days on most homes.
5. Final Walk-Through
We walk the roof and the property with you. Punch-list any cosmetic items. Magnet rake one more time before we sign off.
6. Written Warranty
Manufacturer warranty and our workmanship warranty, registered at job close. Insurance-ready, transferable if you sell.
What Bargain Bids Usually Leave Out
There’s always a cheaper number. Sometimes it’s a legitimate competitor. More often it’s a thinner spec, a builder-grade warranty, or a crew that disappears the day the last shingle goes on. Here’s what we include that the lowball bid usually doesn’t.
- GAF Master Elite install — a credential fewer than 2% of roofers hold, verifiable
- Our own employee crews on every job
- Written workmanship warranty, transferable if you sell the home
- Magnet rake of the lawn and driveway, plus full property cleanup
- No surprise upsells. If we find rotted decking, we show you and quote it before we cover it up.
What Homeowners Ask Most
Most homes are one to two days on the roof — one of our Billings homeowners had a full tear-off to completion in about 9 hours. Larger, steeper, or multi-material roofs run two to three days. We give you a firm start date and a firm finish date in writing — not a “weather permitting” range with no end on it.
A full asphalt-shingle replacement on a typical single-family home varies with square footage, pitch, layers being torn off, and any decking repair. Metal and specialty roofs cost more. Every estimate is itemized — you see materials, labor, disposal, and warranty paperwork on separate lines, not “miscellaneous.” Estimates are always free and no-obligation, and financing is available through HFS Financial.
Yes — a real replacement is a tear-off down to the deck. We don’t do “roof-overs” (new shingles installed on top of old ones) because they hide decking problems, void most manufacturer warranties, and shorten the life of the new layer. Old shingles, underlayment, and flashing all come off; everything goes in the dumpster on the same day it’s pulled.
We tarp every plant bed within reach of the eaves before the first shingle comes off, keep the dumpster off your bare concrete, and roll the magnet across the lawn and driveway before we leave. The goal is simple: you shouldn’t find a single nail after we’re gone.
Two warranties on every job: the manufacturer’s warranty (covers the materials) and our workmanship warranty (covers the install). Because we’re GAF Master Elite, you also qualify for the GAF Golden Pledge — the extended labor-included package most non-certified contractors can’t register. Both are transferable if you sell the home.
