MD Contractors

MD Contractors serves the Fairbanks North Star Borough from a base in Fairbanks. The Interior Alaska climate shapes every aspect of how the company approaches roofing work, from material selection through installation methods to the timing of project scheduling. Subarctic winters create conditions that most roofing products were never designed to handle. When temperatures drop to 40 below zero, materials that perform adequately elsewhere become liabilities. Shingles crack. Sealants fail. Metal components contract significantly. Understanding these behaviors and selecting products accordingly separates successful roofing work from premature failures. The company handles residential roofing across the Fairbanks area: complete replacements when roof systems reach end of life, repairs for storm damage and isolated failures, and maintenance work that extends useful life through harsh conditions. Snow load considerations affect every recommendation. Ice dam prevention requires attention to insulation, ventilation, and air sealing, not just surface treatments. Construction timing follows the Interior Alaska calendar. The effective building season runs roughly May through September, with quality results difficult to achieve outside this window. Summer months get busy as property owners address problems identified during winter. Emergency repair capability remains available year-round for situations that cannot wait, though permanent solutions typically require scheduling into the next building season. Fairbanks homeowners understand their climate and the demands it places on buildings. MD Contractors brings specific experience with local conditions to every project, avoiding the learning curve that contractors from elsewhere face when encountering their first Interior winter.
