Kirkness Roofing Inc: Molt Roofers Focused on Long-Term Value
Practical Roofing Services in Molt That Match Local Conditions
Living in Molt means open space, quiet roads, and big Montana skies, but it also means your home takes the full impact of hail, wind, and seasonal extremes. Many homeowners in this area have been through multiple storm cycles over the years, which makes roofing decisions less about urgency and more about timing and financial strategy.
At Kirkness Roofing Inc, we have been helping homeowners across this region since 1978. We focus on giving you clear, honest guidance so you can decide whether to repair, replace, or wait without feeling pressured into the wrong move. In some cases, especially after repeated hail events, replacing too early can cost more than it saves. We will tell you when a repair buys you time and when it does not.
If your roof has been through recent storms or is starting to show wear, the smartest step is to understand your options before small issues turn into larger expenses.

Residential Roofing in Molt
Your roof protects everything underneath it from wind-driven rain, hail impact, and winter ice buildup. We install and repair roofing systems designed for Montana conditions, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar, slate, and tile.
Most homes in this area use architectural shingles because they balance cost and durability, but we also help homeowners evaluate longer-term options like metal roofing when it makes financial sense. If your roof still has life left, we will recommend repair. If replacement is the better long-term investment, we will explain why in plain terms.
Commercial Roofing in Molt
For commercial properties, roofing decisions come down to performance, longevity, and minimizing disruption. We install and maintain flat roofing systems including TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen.
We work with property owners to plan projects carefully, avoid unnecessary downtime, and install systems designed to hold up against Montana weather over the long term.

Smart Roofing Questions Molt Homeowners Ask Before Getting an Estimate
Before you commit to any roofing work, it helps to have clear, practical answers. These are some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners in this area, especially after storm seasons and as roofs start to age.
How do I know if my roof in Molt has hail damage?
You can tell if your roof has hail damage by looking for bruised shingles, granule loss, or soft spots, but not all damage is visible from the ground. In Molt, repeated hail events can weaken your roof over time, so getting a professional estimate is the safest way to confirm the condition.
Should I repair or replace my roof after wind damage?
It depends, but in many cases wind damage can be repaired if it is limited to a small area. If the damage is widespread or your roof is already older, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term decision.
How much does a typical roof replacement cost in this area?
A typical roof replacement in this area usually costs between $8,000 and $22,000 depending on size, materials, and complexity. Higher-end systems like metal or cedar can increase that range, but may offer longer-term value.
Will insurance cover my roof after a storm?
Yes, insurance often covers roof damage caused by hail or wind if it meets certain criteria. The key is proper documentation and evaluation, which is why working with a contractor experienced in insurance claims can make the process smoother.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Most roof replacements take one to a few days depending on the size of the home and weather conditions. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, especially if material changes or repairs are involved.
What type of roofing material works best in Molt?
Architectural shingles are the most common choice because they offer a good balance of cost and durability. For homeowners planning long-term, metal roofing is also a strong option due to its resistance to hail and wind.
When is the best time of year to schedule roofing work?
The best time to schedule roofing work is typically between May and September when temperatures allow for proper installation. Planning ahead helps you avoid delays during peak season.

A friend recommended Kirkness Roofing… I spoke with Carter on the phone who is so helpful and approachable and set up a inspection date… Jerome was the inspector to come to my home… He was excellent in keeping communication, up-to-date … More and current. Jerome is extremely knowledgeable and shares detailed information about the condition of my roofs after a severe wind storm. I felt Jerome was very thorough in his inspection and explaining my issues and options. I have never left a review before, but I felt very honored and excited to leave this review. Kirkness Roofing will be a permanent fixture in my contacts… If ever in doubt…Let Kirkness Roofing check it out!

We recently moved into a new home and found out the shingles used on the roof made us eligible for a discount on our homeowner’s insurance. Having not worked with any local roofing companies before, we did a google search and chose Kirkness … More Roofing because of the plethora of good reviews. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. It was quickly evident why there were so many glowing testimonials! Jerome, in particular, was a standout. His professionalism and expertise shone through. Not only did he help us complete our certification, he checked in a day later to make sure the insurance company had all they needed. Needless to say, we will be using Kirkness for all of our future roofing needs.

We accepted an offer on our house only to find out during the inspection that we had sustained roof damage from one of the hail storms. I contacted Kirkness Roofing and spoke with Jerome. He was amazing and understood the time crunch … More we were facing. He worked directly with our insurance adjuster and somehow managed to get everything done in time for us to close on our house. Jerome was always very quick to respond when I had questions and made the process quite seamless. I would definitely recommend Kirkness Roofing.

As a result of the July storm we suspected the worst- roofing damage. We contacted Kirkness Roofing and they came out in short order and confirmed our shingles were shot. An estimate soon followed and we gave the go ahead and they got everything … More lined up and installed. Carter was a pleasure to work with and his crew was amazing. They did an amazing job including clean up when the job was done. I believe this is the 4th time our roof has been done since 1997. Once for a remodel and the rest due to storm damage. And Kirkness Roofing has been our go to each time. I’m sure a lot of the faces have changed over the years but the quality of service has not-always the best. They really do a wonderful job and they do sincerely care about their customers and their satisfaction.

We called Kirkness to have someone come look at a water leak we discovered on the roof coming from the furnace vent. It had just snowed a bunch and every time the furnace would kick on and melt the snow around the vent, it would create … More a steady drip all the way down the vent pipe and onto the basement floor! Luckily it was going to be in the 50's the next few days and we were told someone would come by when the roof was safely accessible.
Long story short, Jerome came by exactly when he said he would and was very friendly, professional and thorough, looking at the basement first and then heading to the roof where he found the issue. He went above and beyond with the repair, taking before and after pictures and explaining what was wrong and what was repaired.
We have full confidence that the repair was done correctly and wouldn't hesitate to use Kirkness again! -
I called Kirkness after being ghosted by a previous contractor when I had 1 week to get some repairs done on a house I was selling. Jerome scheduled with me for that afternoon, inspected the entire roof and then had everything taken care … More of by the end of the day!! He was so kind and professional and an absolute life saver! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be calling back for any future roofing needs.

Jerome was kind enough to come to my house and inspect my roof after one of recent storms. Needless to say I was holding my breath wondering what damage he would find. Great news, no damage or repairs were needed. Jerome sent me a very … More detailed report with pictures of my roof for me to review after his inspection.
I highly recommend Kirkness Roofing for your roofing needs. They are trustworthy, kind, and reliable.
Thanks, Jerome and Kirkness Roofing! -
We’ve been trying to track down a roof leak for a while now and have been unable to identify it. After calling a couple places in town, Kirkness was able to get us in their schedule right away. Jerome came out to try to identify the potential … More leak. After checking the roof and showing me photos of potential points of water entry, Jerome went back to the shop and came out with warm sealant (on a cold day) to seal
all areas he could find, free of charge. We haven’t had rain yet, to see if the fix worked; but we appreciate their fast service and attention to a leak, without trying to sell us a whole new roof and solar right off the bat. 😂 It’s great to have a company willing to look at the small repair jobs and not just focus on full roof replacements. Thank you, Kirkness Roofing.
