roofing in Marcus
Marcus is a community in Stevens County on the Columbia River, about 48 km from Republic. The roof is checked against the snow and wind figures that apply in the county, and the river valley is noted for damp and wind.
Marcus sits in Stevens County on the Columbia River, about 48 km from Republic. The river changes the local weather: the valley holds damp air and can channel the wind along its length, so a roof on the river side faces a different exposure from one on the bench above it. The crew notes which side of the valley a house sits on before it reads the roof.
The county rules for snow and wind are the reference for a Marcus roof. The frame is checked against the county snow minimum, and the fixing pattern for any new covering is set to the county basic wind speed of 110 miles per hour. Those two figures are written on the job sheet so the owner can see what the work was built to.
Because Marcus is a small community, the crew plans its visits with the other northern work where it can. The first visit is designed to give the owner the attic readings, the eave condition and the covering condition in one trip, so the owner has a full picture from the start rather than a series of partial findings.
A river-side roof often shows the damp first in the attic. Staining on the underside of the deck, and insulation that has stayed wet through the cold months, are read with the same care as the snow damage, and each one is recorded with its location.
The bench above the Columbia at Marcus carries a different load from the river flat below it. A roof on the bench takes the snow and the wind without shelter, and a roof on the flat is more often wet in the attic from the valley air. The crew asks the owner which of the two describes the house, then reads the roof for the load and the damp that belong to it.
The first visit to Marcus is therefore a two-part check: the frame and the covering for the load, and the attic and the deck for the damp. Both are written up in the same record, so the owner can see which problem is causing which symptom, and which repair addresses it.

Today in Marcus
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
The eave and the ice barrier
Marcus roofs on the river side are checked for damp in the attic in addition to the snow and ice checks, because the valley air settles in the attic over a season.
Wind and the fixing pattern
The fixing pattern for a Marcus covering is set to the county wind figure, and the nail count and length are recorded on the job sheet.
The eave and the ice barrier (2)
The ice barrier at the eave is checked on every Marcus visit, because the meltwater from the north-facing slope runs to the eave and freezes there in a cold spell.
The record kept for the file
A Marcus repair is recorded with the side of the valley and the exposure, so a later visit can compare the same points in the same way.
Storm evidence
The record for a Marcus house also notes the distance to the nearest other house in the same run, because a roof on an isolated site is harder to get back to in a storm. The owner can see in the record when the next visit is practical and when the crew should be called sooner, so an emergency check is not delayed by the distance.
Wind and the fixing pattern (2)
A Marcus owner who has a shed or a garage on the same exposure can ask for the outbuilding to be noted on the record. The crew does not quote for the outbuilding unless asked, but it will say whether the snow and wind on it match the house.

FAQ
Marcus FAQs
Is Marcus on the Colville Reservation?
The research for this site lists Marcus in Stevens County on the Columbia River. The owner should confirm the property status on the first call, the same as for any address near the reservation boundary.
Do you check the attic for damp in Marcus?
Yes. The attic is read for staining, wet insulation and condensation on the deck, and each reading is recorded with the attic temperature where it can be taken.
How is the snow figure chosen for a Marcus roof?
The county minimum is the starting point for the frame. Where the house sits on a bench, the crew says so and reads the roof against the same figure with the exposure in mind, so the owner can see why the frame is checked as it is.
Why check the attic on a river-side house?
Valley air settles in attics and stays damp through the cold months. Staining and wet insulation in the attic are the first signs of that, and they are recorded before the covering is looked at.
