Trusted Residential Roofing Services for Yellowstone County Homes
Homes across Yellowstone County need roofs that can handle more than ordinary wear. Hail can move through one neighborhood while missing another. Wind can lift shingles on open rural properties near Shepherd or Worden. Snowmelt can expose leaks in older Billings homes. Gutters, ventilation, flashing, and roof age all play a role in how well your home stays protected.
Kirkness Roofing Inc provides residential roofing services across Billings, Lockwood, Shepherd, Huntley, Worden, Laurel, and surrounding communities. Since 1978, our team has helped homeowners understand what their roof needs before work begins. That may be a small repair, a full roof replacement, support for storm damage, or a closer look at gutters and drainage.
We believe roofing decisions should feel clear, not rushed. If your roof can be repaired, we’ll explain the repair. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll walk you through materials, timing, warranty options, and cost considerations so you can make a confident decision.

Full-Service Residential Roofing Across Yellowstone County
Residential roofing is not one-size-fits-all. A newer home in Lockwood may need documentation of storm damage after hail. A rural home near Huntley may need help with wind exposure and gutter drainage. An older home may need roof replacement planning after years of heat, snow, and seasonal wear.
Our residential roofing service includes roof installation, repair, replacement, asphalt shingle roofing, metal roofing, tile roofing, slate roofing, cedar roofing, and storm-damage roofing support.
Residential Roof Installation
A new roof should be planned around the home, not just the material. Roof slope, ventilation, drainage, flashing, budget, and Montana weather all affect how the system should be built.
Most homes in the region use architectural shingles because they offer a practical balance of cost, appearance, and performance. For homeowners comparing options, we can also discuss metal, cedar, tile, or slate roofing based on your home, budget, and long-term plans.
A properly installed roof protects more than just the shingles. It supports your home’s energy performance, reduces moisture-related risks, and provides a stronger foundation for future resale value.
Residential Roof Repair
Not every roof problem means you need a new roof. Missing shingles, cracked pipe boots, loose flashing, ridge cap damage, and small leak points may be repairable if the roof still has useful life left.
That said, small roof issues should not be ignored. Once water gets beneath the roofing system, damage can spread into decking, insulation, ceilings, and interior finishes.
A residential roof repair may be the right step when:
- Damage is limited to one area
- Shingles are generally still in good condition
- A leak has a clear source
- Flashing or vent components need attention
- Wind lifted a few shingles
- Gutters or roof edges need correction
In the Billings area, typical roof repairs often range from about $500 to $3,500, depending on the issue. A timely estimate can help you avoid spending more later.
Residential Roof Replacement
Roof replacement becomes worth discussing when the existing roof no longer provides the home with reliable protection. This may happen after widespread hail damage, repeated wind events, aging materials, recurring leaks, or repair work that no longer solves the real problem.
A shingle roof replacement in this region commonly ranges from about $8,000 to $22,000, with many projects averaging around $450 to $500 per square. That is a major investment, which is why the recommendation should be based on the roof’s actual condition.
When replacement is the better choice, we’ll help you review:
- Roofing material options
- Warranty coverage
- Project timing
- Ventilation and drainage concerns
- Storm damage documentation, when needed
- Financing options, when helpful
How Yellowstone County Weather Affects Local Roofs
Weather is one of the biggest reasons roofs age differently across the county. A home in an established neighborhood may deal with roof age and ventilation problems. A home outside city limits may see more open wind exposure. A property near Laurel, Shepherd, or Worden may need attention after hail, snowmelt, or drainage problems.
Common weather-related roofing issues include:
- Hail bruising shingles and knocking away granules
- Wind lifting shingles or loosening flashing
- Ice dams pushing water under the roof edges
- Summer heat accelerating shingle aging
- Freeze-thaw cycles stressing roof materials
- Clogged gutters causing water to back up near the roofline
Some damage is easy to spot. Some is not. Hail can weaken shingles without creating an obvious leak right away. Wind can break the seal on shingles before they detach. Ice dams may cause water issues that only appear after temperatures rise.
That is why a roof estimate after a major weather event can be a smart financial step. It gives you information before a small issue becomes an expensive repair.
Residential Roofing for City and Rural Homes Across Yellowstone County
County-wide roofing service requires local judgment. City homes and rural homes often face different roofing concerns.
In Billings and Billings Heights, homeowners may be dealing with aging roofs, hail damage, ventilation issues, or planning for replacement in established neighborhoods. In Lockwood and Laurel, storm exposure, growing residential areas, and gutter drainage may shape the project. In Shepherd, Huntley, Worden, and nearby rural areas, wind exposure and open lots can accelerate roof-edge damage.
A residential roofing estimate may include a review of:
- Shingle condition
- Roof age
- Flashing around walls, chimneys, and valleys
- Pipe boots and vents
- Ridge caps
- Gutter drainage
- Signs of hail or wind damage
- Ventilation concerns
- Moisture or leak indicators
The goal is not to sell the biggest project. The goal is to help you understand what your home actually needs.
Roofing Materials Built for Montana Homes
The right roof material depends on the home, the budget, the roof slope, and how long you plan to stay in the property.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Architectural shingles are the most common residential roofing material in the area. They are practical, attractive, and easier to repair than some specialty systems.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing costs more upfront, but it can be a good option for homeowners who want durability, snow-shedding performance, and long-term value.
Cedar, Tile, and Slate Roofing
Cedar, tile, and slate each have specific installation and maintenance needs. These materials may make sense for certain homes, but they should be carefully evaluated before moving forward.
Low-Slope Residential Roofing
Some homes have low-slope sections, porch roofs, additions, or garage areas that need a different roofing approach. Kirkness Roofing Inc works with flat and low-slope systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen.
Why Yellowstone County Homeowners Choose Kirkness Roofing Inc
A roof is too important to leave to guesswork. Homeowners want a residential roofing company that is local, experienced, and willing to stand behind the work.
Kirkness Roofing Inc has served the Billings area since 1978. We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, a GAF Master Elite contractor, a Malarkey Preferred Contractor, and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
We also bring storm damage and insurance claim experience, including one licensed and one former insurance adjuster on staff. That helps homeowners understand what needs to be documented when hail or wind damage may involve a claim.
Homeowners also choose us because we communicate throughout the project. Roofing is a big investment. You should know what is happening, when work is scheduled, and who to call if questions come up.
What to Expect During a Residential Roofing Estimate
We start with the concern that brought you to us. That may be a leak, missing shingles, hail damage, wind damage, roof age, gutter overflow, or a roof that simply needs a professional opinion.
From there, we review the roof system and explain what we see in plain terms. If repair makes sense, we’ll say so. If a replacement is planned, we’ll explain why. If the roof can be monitored, we’ll tell you that too.
Once work is approved, we coordinate scheduling, communicate clearly, complete the project, and clean up the work area.
Residential Roofing Questions Yellowstone County Homeowners Ask Most
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Your roof may only need repair if the damage is isolated and the rest of the system is in good condition. Replacement may make more sense when damage is widespread, leaks keep returning, shingles are aging across the roof, or hail has affected large sections.
What is the most common roofing material for homes in Yellowstone County?
Architectural shingles are the most common roofing material for local homes because they offer a strong balance of cost, appearance, and performance. They are also practical to repair after certain types of storm damage.
Do you help with hail and wind damage?
Yes. Kirkness Roofing Inc helps homeowners evaluate hail and wind damage, explain what we find, and provide documentation when storm damage may involve insurance.
When is the best time to replace a shingle roof?
The best time for shingle roof replacement is typically May through September. Kirkness Roofing Inc does not install shingles during the winter months because cold weather can affect proper installation.
Do you offer financing for residential roofing?
Yes. Financing options may include loan amounts up to $100,000, funding within 1 to 3 days, no prepayment penalties, no home equity requirement, and personalized monthly payment options that won’t affect your credit score.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -
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. -
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%.

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!!!

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.

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!
