Rooted in Anchorage
I'm Luke Butler, and I started Black Spruce Roofing because I kept hearing the same thing from Anchorage homeowners: “I couldn't get anyone to call me back.”
I've been working in Alaska's trades for years — through the worst this state throws at a building. I know what a January windstorm does to a Hillside shingle roof. I know what ice dams do to flashing — and why the freeze-thaw cycles in our shoulder seasons matter more than most contractors talk about.
Black Spruce Roofing is named for the most cold-hardy tree in North America — built for this climate, not transplanted from somewhere warmer. When you hire Black Spruce, I'm personally on most jobs. My name is on the license. My number is on the truck.
Before starting Black Spruce, I spent 3+ years running Alaska Heat Cable — 30+ five-star Google reviews, ice dam removal and heat cable installation across Anchorage. That experience is built into every roof we touch.
We Know What Alaska Does to Roofs
Four conditions that separate Alaska roofing from anywhere else in the country.
Ice Dams
Ice backs up under your shingles and finds every small gap — sometimes weeks before the water shows up inside. We install full-surface ice and water shield underlayment on every project.
Alaska Heat Cable handles prevention →Snow Load
Anchorage code requires roofs to handle 50 pounds per square foot. We design every installation to meet or exceed this — and we can inspect your existing roof's structural capacity.
Freeze-Thaw Cycling
Every shoulder season, water infiltrates small flashing failures and expands when it freezes. What looks minor in October becomes a significant repair by May. We fix flashing right the first time.
Wind Damage
The January 2025 windstorm hit Anchorage at 110 mph. We use ring-shank nails and high-wind starter strips — not the minimum required, the minimum that actually holds.
Serving Southcentral Alaska
We serve homeowners throughout Anchorage and surrounding communities — from the Hillside to Huffman, from Eagle River to the Alyeska resort area in Girdwood.
- Southcentral Alaska primary service area
Anchorage
Our home base. We serve every Anchorage neighborhood — South Anchorage, Hillside, Sand Lake, Turnagain, Muldoon, Abbott Road, and more. Most jobs start within two days of estimate approval during the installation season.

Eagle River
Eagle River homeowners get the same in-house crew and same-day response as Anchorage. Eagle River roofs see the same ice dam and snow load conditions — we know the area.
Learn more - Alyeska resort area, 40 miles south
Girdwood
Girdwood receives 200+ inches of snow per year. Chalets, ski cabins, and vacation rental properties need roofs built for that — metal roofing, steep-pitch specs, and high snow-load design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions Anchorage homeowners ask most.
- How much does a roof replacement cost in Anchorage, Alaska?
- Most Anchorage homeowners pay between $11,000 and $22,000 for a full asphalt shingle replacement on a standard home. Metal roofing typically runs $30,000–$45,000+. Alaska labor runs 15–25% above national averages. We provide a free, line-itemized estimate specific to your home.
- Are you licensed and insured to work in Alaska?
- Yes. Black Spruce Roofing holds Alaska contractor license 237305 and carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
- Do you use subcontractors or your own crew?
- We use our own trained, in-house crew — no subcontractors, no strangers. You get the same people and the same standards from estimate through final walkthrough.
- How quickly can you start after I approve the estimate?
- During the main installation season (May–September), most jobs start within 1–2 weeks of estimate approval. We communicate the schedule clearly so you know exactly when to expect us.
- Do you handle insurance claims for storm or ice dam damage?
- Yes. We document the damage, attend the adjuster visit with you, and guide you through the claims process. That is our job — not yours.
- What roofing materials do you recommend for Alaska weather?
- For most Anchorage homes, architectural asphalt shingles with full-surface ice and water shield underlayment are the right choice. For Girdwood or high-snow-load areas, we often recommend metal roofing for its superior durability and snow-shedding performance.
