Energy-Efficient Metal Roofing for the Inland Northwest
Energy-Efficient Metal Roofing
for the Inland Northwest
The Inland Northwest prairie corridor — from Coeur d'Alene through Spokane and down to the Palouse — presents a different set of roofing challenges than the mountains. Wide-open exposure means sustained wind loads that can peel back improperly fastened shingles. Summer hailstorms can destroy an asphalt roof in minutes. Urban and suburban properties often have HOA requirements that demand a specific aesthetic. And with energy costs rising every year, the thermal performance of your roof directly impacts your monthly bills. Metal roofing addresses every one of these concerns. Impact-resistant steel panels shrug off hail that would total a conventional roof. Modern metal shingle profiles replicate the look of cedar shake or architectural shingles to satisfy even the strictest HOA design guidelines. Reflective coatings reduce cooling costs by up to 25% in summer, and the superior insulation compatibility of standing seam systems keeps heating bills down through long prairie winters.
Airway Heights sits west of Spokane on the West Plains, anchored by Fairchild Air Force Base and Northern Quest Resort & Casino. The flat open prairie creates some of the strongest sustained winds in the metro area — frequent gusts in the 50-60 mph range during weather events. Standing seam metal roofing's wind rating (110-150 mph) is exactly what this exposure demands, which is why we see growing adoption in the newer West Plains subdivisions.
Metal Roof Idaho installs metal roofing throughout Airway Heights and the surrounding Spokane County area. Located 82 miles from our Sandpoint headquarters, Airway Heights sits well inside our primary service territory.

Questions we
hear most.
Can a metal roof withstand hailstorms in the Inland Northwest?
Yes, metal roofing is one of the most hail-resistant roofing materials available. Steel panels can withstand impacts from hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter without damage. While a single hailstorm can total an asphalt roof, a metal roof shrugs off the same storm with zero damage and no insurance claims.
Are there metal roof options that meet HOA requirements?
Absolutely. Modern metal shingle profiles replicate the look of cedar shake, slate, or architectural asphalt shingles so closely that most HOAs approve them without issue. These profiles deliver the traditional aesthetic your neighborhood requires while providing the 50-year durability and fire resistance that shingles simply cannot match.
How much can a metal roof reduce energy costs?
Metal roofing with reflective coatings can reduce summer cooling costs by up to 25% by reflecting solar heat away from your home. In winter, the superior insulation compatibility of standing seam systems helps reduce heating costs. Homeowners in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area typically see a noticeable reduction in their annual energy bills.
Is a metal roof noisy in rain?
No. Modern metal roofs installed over solid decking with proper underlayment are no louder than any other roofing material during rain. The solid roof deck, synthetic underlayment, and attic insulation absorb sound so effectively that most homeowners report no noticeable difference from their previous asphalt shingle roof.
How does a metal roof handle high winds on the prairie?
Standing seam metal roofing is rated for wind speeds of 110-150 mph, far exceeding the wind resistance of asphalt shingles. The interlocking panel design and concealed-fastener system prevent wind uplift that commonly peels back shingles during the sustained wind events common across the Inland Northwest prairie corridor.
