Open Country Exteriors

Great Falls sits where the high plains meet the Rocky Mountain front, and the weather coming off that geography hits roofs hard. Chinook winds can swing temperatures forty degrees in a few hours. Hailstorms roll through the Cascade County corridor every summer. Winter dumps snow, then melts it, then freezes it into ice dams along every eave. Homeowners here know their roofs take punishment that roofs elsewhere never face. Open Country Exteriors built its process around that reality. Inspections start with the full system: deck condition, underlayment integrity, ventilation pathways, and surface material. A shingle replacement that ignores inadequate attic ventilation just delays the next failure. Flashing at penetrations, valleys, and transitions gets evaluated because that is where Great Falls roofs typically fail first. The documentation is detailed before any work begins. Photos, measurements, and written scopes mean property owners know exactly what the crew will do and why. No verbal estimates, no vague line items. Storm damage projects follow the same protocol, with documentation formatted for insurance adjusters who need clear evidence to approve claims. Service coverage includes residential repairs, full replacements, flat roofing systems for commercial properties, and storm response when systems move through the region. Material selection accounts for local conditions: wind ratings, impact resistance, thermal cycling tolerance. Great Falls is not a place for lightweight roofing products installed to minimum standards. The crew cleans up daily rather than waiting until project completion. Properties stay livable throughout the work. When Open Country Exteriors finishes a roof, it is built to handle the next decade of Montana weather. That is the standard for every project in Cascade County.
