Roofing in Stockett, MT
The best documented hail event in Stockett's history reached the federal record because somebody posted it to a television station's Facebook page. The database entry for September 8, 2013 reads that hail measuring up to two inches was reported in Stockett via a KRTV Facebook report, and it sits three tenths of a mile from the center of town.
That is not a criticism of the record. It is how storm data gets made in places this size, and it is why the file is thin. Nine entries carry the Stockett name and five of them sit more than five miles away, including one that measured 14 miles out. Four are genuinely local, and you can name them.
The other real one is a 69 knot gust on July 28, 2001, also within a third of a mile. That is roughly 79 miles an hour on a town of 57 occupied homes, and gusts like that are what pull ridge cap and lift the first course at a rake before they touch anything in the field.
Stockett runs entirely off the gas main. Census figures show zero occupied units on utility gas, 40 of 57 on bottled or tank propane, 14 on wood and 3 on electricity. A quarter of this town heats with wood, which is the second highest share in our service area and puts a chimney or a chase through most of these roofs.
Wood heat and old roofs together produce a specific failure we look for first here. The flashing at a masonry chimney gets thermal cycling from inside as well as from the chinook outside, the mortar joint opens, and sealant that was never the right answer lets go. We cut a reglet and set two-piece counterflashing into it.
Forty-seven percent of Stockett housing was built in 1939 or earlier, the highest prewar share of the three coulee towns, and the median build year is 1953. This was a coal camp and the housing is what a coal camp left behind: small, plain, framed honestly, and worth repairing more often than worth replacing.
Nobody official is going to weigh in on that judgment. Stockett is unincorporated, Cascade County certifies no building program, and Montana does not enforce its residential code here. We combine trips through Stockett, Sand Coulee and Centerville so a small repair does not carry a full mobilization, and we put the recommendation in writing either way.
About Stockett, MT — and why local matters here
Stockett sits in Cascade with a population of roughly 157, close enough to Great Falls that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Stockett coal-camp townsite, the Highway 227 approach toward Tracy.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Stockett properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Cascade, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

What we take on in Stockett
Great Falls Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Stockett that we do in Great Falls — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Hail Damage Roofing — Hail is real here, mostly late spring into midsummer, and it does the same mechanical work to a shingle that it does anywhere else. What is different in Great Falls is how easy it becomes to confuse hail bruising with a mat that rapid temperature change has already worked hard.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Great Falls sees plenty of wind, and this page is not an argument about how often it blows. It is an argument about what temperature the roof happens to be when the gust arrives, because that changes what the wind is able to do to a shingle.
- Roof Inspections — An inspection is worth exactly what the inspector actually climbs on. We get on the roof, get into the attic, and hand you a written report with photographs and a plain assessment of how much service life is left.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt shingles are the right product for most Great Falls houses and we install a great many of them. What is worth understanding first is that a shingle roof is not done at the last nail.
- Metal Roofing — Metal is the strongest long-term answer for a lot of buildings around here, and it is also the product where the wrong version fails fastest. The deciding question is not color or gauge or which brand the salesman carries.
- Tile Roofing — Here we argue against something we could easily sell you. Concrete and clay tile make excellent roofs in the places they belong, and Great Falls is not one of those places.
