Protecting Homes in Conrad, MT with Roofing That Lasts
Life on Montana’s northern plains comes with rugged beauty—and rugged weather. Between fierce prairie winds, heavy snow loads, and hailstorms rolling in off the Rocky Mountain Front, roofs in Conrad take a beating year after year. That’s why you need a roofing partner who understands the demands of this region and builds with both strength and longevity in mind.
At A-1 Contractors, Inc., we’ve been protecting Montana homes for over two decades. Our team delivers more than a roof—we deliver confidence, craftsmanship, and care. From repairing wind damage to replacing aging systems, we provide custom solutions that hold up to Conrad’s toughest conditions while enhancing the beauty and value of your home.

- Asphalt Shingles – Cost-effective and versatile, shingles offer solid weather protection in countless colors and designs. Great for traditional neighborhood homes.
- Metal Roofing – Long-lasting, energy efficient, and built to handle high winds and hail. A favorite for rural properties and farmhouses.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Roof
Don’t wait until damage spreads—watch for these red flags:
- Shingles curling, cracking, or missing altogether
- Persistent leaks despite multiple repairs
- Granules collecting in your gutters (bare shingles = UV damage)
- Sagging spots that indicate decking or structural issues
- 20+ years of age—most roofs give out by this point in our climate
If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time for a professional inspection.
FAQs for Conrad Homeowners
How do Montana’s weather patterns affect roofing choices in Conrad?
Prairie winds and Rocky Mountain storms can wear out lesser materials quickly. We recommend shingles rated for high wind resistance or metal roofing systems designed to withstand hail and heavy snow loads.
Will you check the condition of my roof deck during replacement?
Yes. We always do a full tear-off and inspect the wood decking below. If we find rot, warping, or water damage, we’ll repair or replace the affected areas to ensure your new roof has a solid foundation.
How long does a typical roof last in Conrad’s climate?
Asphalt shingles generally last 15–25 years here, while metal roofs can last 40–60 years or more if properly maintained. Harsh winters and strong winds often shorten the lifespan compared to milder regions.
Can I stay in my home during a roof replacement?
Absolutely. While roofing is noisy, it’s safe for you to remain at home. We maintain a clean, organized job site and keep you informed so there are no surprises.
What roofing material is best for hail resistance?
Metal roofing is the most hail-resistant, but high-quality impact-rated asphalt shingles also perform very well. We can help you compare impact ratings and warranties to find the best fit.
Do you offer help with insurance claims after a storm?
Yes. We work directly with insurance adjusters, provide photo documentation, and advocate for fair coverage so you aren’t left footing the bill for storm-related damage.

Props to A-1 for re-roofing my house during an epic week of wind. Everyone was so easy to work with; most definitely would hire A-1 again. Even my downwind … More neighbors were impressed with the cleanliness of the job.

We highly recommend A-1 contractors! What professionals! And they aren’t kidding when they say no job too big or too small. We needed a new roof on a small … More home in the mountains, and we needed it before fall weather set in. Joe, Beau, Jacob, Jose, Sean and Bird fit us in and made the drive out to help us on a Sunday. With A-1 we didn’t have to worry about a thing. They were prompt, prepared, and there were no additional or unexpected costs added to our original estimate. The roof was completed as if by magic, and when they left there was no trace of them having been there at all, except for a beautifully installed roof.
I love the fact that the company is family owned, now with their second or third generation of family members in charge, and also appreciate the fact that Joe, one of the owners, came out to work side by side, with the rest of his crew. The precision of their work was impressive. It seemed as if every move was finely orchestrated. With their attention to quality and detail, you can tell that this is a team who has worked together for a while, almost making me wish that I needed another roof so that I could call them again. -
We recently had A-1 re-do our vinyl flat roof on our home. They were great. They were prompt, professional and the price was exactly what they quoted us. … More The work is done well, and they are giving us a 5-year warranty on workmanship. The employees who showed up were courteous and friendly. This was a big and expensive job, and they were really top notch. I have no problem recommending them.
