True North Contracting | Roofing Services in Anchorage, AK 99501

Our roof replacement process is designed for durability in Alaskan conditions. We start with a thorough inspection and free estimate. For the replacement, we carefully remove the old roofing material down to the decking, inspect and repair the underlying structure if needed, and install high-quality ice and water shield—a critical step for our climate. We then install your chosen material, such as impact-resistant shingles or standing seam metal, with proper ventilation and flashing details to prevent future ice damming and moisture issues. Our goal is a secure, long-lasting roof built for Anchorage's winters.

These are frequent issues we see due to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow. For flashing separation, we inspect the metal pieces around chimneys, vents, and walls, resealing or replacing them with materials rated for extreme temperature swings. For ice blockage in valleys, we employ a multi-step approach: ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation to minimize heat loss, installing ice and water shield membrane in the valley, and sometimes adding heat cables as a preventive measure. Our repairs focus on the root cause to prevent recurrence, protecting your home from water damage.

Yes, we provide several material options suited to Anchorage's weather and your aesthetic preferences. For residential projects, we commonly install architectural asphalt shingles for their balance of cost and durability, or metal roofing (like panels or standing seam) for superior snow shedding and longevity. For commercial or low-slope applications, we install PVC membranes and hot tar systems, which offer excellent waterproofing. During your free estimate, we'll discuss the pros, cons, and lifespan of each option to help you make an informed decision for your property.
