Practical Roofing Help for Billings Homeowners
Billings’ weather can be tough on a roof. Hail, wind, snowmelt, ice, and hot summer days all cause some damage over time. Sometimes you see it right away, like a missing shingle in the yard. Other times, the problem starts around flashing, gutters, vents, or roof edges and does not show up until water finds its way inside.
Kirkness Roofing Inc provides residential roofing services in Billings, MT, including roof installation, roof repair, roof replacement, storm damage assistance, and insurance claim documentation. We have been helping local homeowners make roofing decisions since 1978, and we know most people are trying to answer the same basic question: what needs to be fixed now, what can wait, and what is the smartest way to protect the home without overspending?
We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. We are also a GAF Master Elite contractor, a Malarkey Preferred Contractor, and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
Those credentials matter. But they are only part of the picture. Homeowners also need clear communication, practical guidance, and a roofer who will explain the work before it starts. We will show you what we see, talk through your options, and help you make a decision that fits your roof, your budget, and your timeline.

Roof Installation, Replacement, and Repair in Billings
Kirkness Roofing Inc helps homeowners choose roofing solutions based on the home, roof condition, budget, and the demands of South Central Montana’s weather.
New Roof Installation for Billings Homes
A new roof may be needed for a new home, an addition, a major remodel, or an outdated roofing system. The right roof should account for slope, ventilation, drainage, flashing, material weight, appearance, and long-term maintenance.
Architectural shingles are a practical choice for many Billings homes because they balance cost, durability, style, and repairability. Depending on the property, metal, cedar, slate, tile, or low-slope roofing may also be worth considering. We will walk through those options with you so the choice makes sense now and in years to come.
Roof Replacement When the Current System Is Worn Out
Roof replacement is worth talking about when the current roof is no longer doing its job. That might mean leaks keep coming back. It might mean hail damage is spread across the roof, shingles are losing granules, or older repairs are not holding the way they should.
A new roof is a major investment, and we do not treat it lightly.
If replacement is the better path, we will walk you through the details before work begins. That includes material options, project timing, warranty coverage, financing options, and the process. Lifetime material warranty options may be available, and Kirkness Roofing Inc offers a 10-year workmanship warranty on shingle roofs.
Roof Repair for Leaks and Localized Damage
Not every roof issue requires replacing the whole roof. A cracked pipe boot, loose flashing, damaged ridge cap, missing shingle, or small leak may be something we can repair, especially if the rest of the roof still has useful life left.
The important part is catching it before water travels farther than you think.
A small opening can lead to wet decking, soaked insulation, ceiling stains, and drywall repairs. Addressing the problem early can help keep the repair more manageable and protect the rest of the home.
Common residential roof repairs include:
- Replacing missing or wind-lifted shingles
- Repairing flashing around chimneys, vents, walls, and valleys
- Fixing small roof leaks
- Replacing cracked pipe boots
- Looking at shingles damaged by hail
- Correcting ridge cap damage
- Checking roof edge problems caused by failing gutters
Roofing Materials That Fit Billings Homes
The best roofing material should fit your home’s style, your budget, and how local weather conditions affect the roof over time.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
For many Billings homes, architectural asphalt shingles are the most practical choice. They come in a wide range of colors and styles, hold up well when installed properly, and are usually easier to repair than specialty materials. They also offer a good balance between upfront cost and long-term performance.
Metal Roofing
For homeowners thinking long term, metal roof can be worth a closer look. It sheds snow well, stands up to tough weather, and can be a durable option for the right home. The upfront cost is higher than shingles, so we help you weigh that investment against your plans for the property.
Cedar Roofing
On the right home, cedar roof brings a warm, natural look that is hard to match. It can add curb appeal and character, especially on homes where the style supports it. It also needs proper installation and ongoing maintenance, so we will talk through those expectations before you decide.
Slate Roofing
A slate roof can give a home a more premium, lasting look. It is also heavy and more specialized than standard shingles, which means the structure, installation details, and budget must be carefully considered. This is not a material to choose casually.
Low-Slope Roofing for Porches, Additions, and Garages
Not every part of a home has the same roof pitch. Porches, garages, additions, and low-slope sections may need a different system than standard shingles. Kirkness Roofing Inc. works with low-slope roofing materials such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen when the roof design calls for them.
How Billings Weather Wears Down Residential Roofs
Billings’ weather can shorten roof life when small issues go unnoticed. Hail can bruise shingles. Wind can weaken shingle seals. Snowmelt can expose leaks. Heat can speed up shingle aging, especially when attic ventilation is poor.
A roof may look fine from the driveway while shingles, flashing, vents, or pipe boots are starting to fail.
Watch for:
- Granules collecting in gutters or near downspouts
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Leaks after rain or snowmelt
- Ice buildup near the eaves
- Loose flashing around chimneys or vents
- Gutters overflowing, pulling away, or holding debris
A roof estimate after severe weather gives you facts before the problem becomes more expensive. It can also help determine whether the roof needs repair, monitoring, insurance documentation, or replacement planning.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof in Billings?
The best roofing decision depends on age, material condition, storm history, ventilation, leak location, and the extent of the damage. The right answer is not always the biggest project.
Repair May Be Enough for Isolated Issues
Roof repair may be enough when the issue is limited, and the rest of the roof is still performing well. A few missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot, a minor flashing issue, or a single clear leak source may not require a full replacement.
Replacement May Be Better for Widespread Wear
Roof replacement may be the better investment when damage is widespread, leaks keep returning, shingles are losing granules in multiple areas, or the roof is near the end of its useful life. In the Billings region, many asphalt shingle roofs last about 18 years when hail is avoided.
Monitoring Can Also Make Sense
Sometimes the responsible answer is to wait and watch. If the damage is minor and the roof is still protecting the home, Kirkness Roofing Inc may recommend monitoring rather than moving forward right away. That gives you time to plan rather than react under pressure.

Kirkness Roofing just replaced my roof — house, detached garage, and shed — and I couldn't be happier. I had wind damage twice over the winter and Jerome came out within hours both times to patch things up until it was warm enough … More for a full replacement. That kind of response is hard to find.
Jerome is honest, trustworthy, and just an all around great guy. The entire company is super professional with top notch customer service, and they use quality materials too. Be prepared to have extreme professionalism and not some fly-by-night roofer who is quick to collect payment and then vanishes.
The crew knocked out all three structures in 8 hours. Seriously impressive. What a great crew!
You will absolutely love Jerome!
See pictures of Jerome tarping my roof during the second wind event, the crew replacing my roof, and the finished product.
Highly recommend Kirkness Roofing — you won't regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -
Kirkness roofing completed our roof last week. It was an amazing experience and Jerome was so helpful every step of the way. We have a very large roof and it was completed in record time. The follow- through by all of the staff was excellent. … More I’m so glad we went with Kirkness because of their customer service and the education they provided. Great job!!

I hired Kirkness Roofing about 5 years ago to roof my house. I called several companies and was put off by some or their prices and how they explained their process, didn't hold up to Kirkness. They did the work in a timely manner, … More at a reasonable cost and cleaned up all the nails and any trash at the end.
I recently had a tree blow over, landing on my roof and breaking my skylight. Wind and debris were blowing through my bathroom. I called Kirkness and they came out to my house within a couple hours to seal things up. Super nice guys!
Jerome came out to give me an estimate on the repair. He was thorough, knowledgeable, patient and very up front about what they could get for a replacement, the cost and when the job would be finished.
Andy and his crew have always been responsive, patient, thorough and have done a great job at a good price. They are extremely trustworthy and get the job done right. -
There aren't enough stars on this scale!
I would give Kirkness Roofing 10 Stars! Three hailstorms left us with damage to the roof, siding and several windows on our home. We asked Andy to come take a look at it, and from that moment … More on we've been so thankful we did. He worked closely with the insurance company and, imagine this, our insurer told us how much they really like working with Kirkness due to their professionalism. If that's not a solid recommendation I don't know what is!
There were several sub-contractors on this job, as the entire exterior of the home was re-done, including all doors and windows replaced. Every person who worked on this project did a great job: they knew what they were doing and completed the work expertly and efficiently.
The work was completed on time, on budget (down to fifty-one cents!) and (much to my relief) to the satisfaction of my husband, who has quite a bit of construction experience in his lifetime.
We can't thank Andy and all his crew enough for the fine work they did for us! -
Harley with Kirkness Roofing was awesome and very professional! Had a shingle tear off completely near The roofs Ridge vent. Had to call a roofing company as I just had shoulder surgery and couldn’t do the repair myself. Called a different … More local company first which had an automated answering system. Based on great reviews called Kirkness Roofing.l next. Person answered the phone immediately. Explained the problems regarding my roof and scheduled a free consultation/inspection. Harley came out inspected the roof and put up a temporary protective barrier over area needing repaired. Scheduled the repair as they are a few days out. After Harley left immediately received a confirmation email very professional company and they stand behind their work. Was a little anxious about having a roofing company come out because roofs aren’t cheap. Harley with Kirkness Roofing surprised us by their kindness and clear explanation of what needed to be done and made me feel confident in their services. I don’t usually do reviews but this is one of those times worth taking time to help spread the word!!!

Jerome made our roof repair an easy process. Kirkness really looks out for its clients. Roof installation is perfect and communication with the staff is excellent. I would recommend Kirkness for any roofing needs in the future 100%.

This is an outstanding company!
This is what I experienced: honesty,
fairness, excellent communication and quality workmanship. Co-owner Andy negotiated tirelessly with my insurance company to insure that they honored my claim for hail … More damage. He is the reason that I now have new roofs on my residence and outbuildings. Thank you Andy and the entire Kirkness Roofing staff! -
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.
