Nevada-Lidgerwood sits in Spokane’s north side with streets like Nevada Avenue and Lidgerwood Street running through rows of 1950s to 1970s ranch and split-level homes. These roofs often carry decades of Spokane snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles that crack shingles and open seams around vents. Crews reach most jobs from Wellesley or Wellesley corridors where driveways are narrow and mature trees drop debris onto valleys.
When ice dams form along the eaves or wind-driven rain pushes under older flashing, water finds its way into attics above single-story living spaces common here. The same tight lots that keep equipment close to the house also mean crews must stage materials on the street and work around power lines that run closer than in newer subdivisions.
Homeowners along these blocks usually notice missing granules in gutters after spring melt or soft spots near the chimney. Addressing the damage before the next winter prevents the leaks that show up first in the low-slope porch roofs attached to many Lidgerwood homes.

Roof Repair in Nevada-Lidgerwood — Local Notes
- •Many Nevada-Lidgerwood roofs are original 3-tab shingles installed when the houses were built, so underlayment is often thin or missing in valleys.
- •Narrow driveways and carports limit ladder placement, requiring extra staging on the street or through side yards.
- •Heavy snow from the North Side’s open exposure adds weight to already aging decking, especially on the north-facing slopes that stay shaded longer.
- •Runoff from mature trees along Nevada and Lidgerwood clogs gutters and holds moisture against fascia, speeding rot at the roof edge.
