About Fortress Roofing

A Palmer roofing company with a crew that has spent twenty-five years on roofs in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. We replace, repair, and clear roofs across Anchorage and the Mat-Su, and metal is our specialty.

The Fortress name is new. The crew behind it is not. We’ve spent twenty-five years roofing houses and buildings in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, metal and asphalt, residential and commercial, through the kind of winters that find every shortcut a roofer ever took. Fortress Roofing is based in Palmer and works across Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley.

We run every job the same way, whether it’s a pipe boot or a full replacement: a straight answer on what the roof needs, a written price before anything comes off, and a crew that cleans up and shows you the work.

How we work

The same steps on every job:

  • You reach out. Call or text (907) 701-2233, or book online. Photos of the roof and any stains inside help us see what we’re walking into.
  • A free inspection. A roofer on the roof and in the attic, checking the places Alaska winters do damage.
  • Photos and a written price within 24 hours. Line by line, with the reason behind repair or replace. What you do with it is your call, and there’s no pressure after it.
  • The work. New underlayment, flashing, and ventilation on a replacement, and a magnetic sweep of the yard and driveway when we’re done.
  • The walkthrough. We go over the finished roof with you and send photos of the work, including any decking we replaced.

Built around metal

Snow load, ice dams, and wind-driven rain are what take a roof apart early up here. Metal stands up to wind and weather, and it usually outlasts two asphalt roofs. Ice dams start in the attic, so that’s where we look for the fix. Our stone-coated steel holds snow in place much like a shingle roof and usually lets go in smaller slides, and we add snow guards wherever a slide could land on steps, a deck, or a car. We install architectural asphalt too, and we’ll tell you when it’s the better call for your house.

Licensing and insurance

Winter is part of the job

We work year-round. In winter that means repairs, emergency calls, inspections, and roof snow removal. Full replacements are scheduled around temperature and snow, and we’ll tell you straight if a job should wait for spring.
