“Downs Roofing replaced our entire roof after a major hailstorm and the experience was seamless from start to finish. They showed up when they said they would, finished on time, and the crew left the property spotless. Best contractor experience I’ve had in 20 years.”
“I’ve used Downs Roofing twice — once for a repair and once for a full replacement on our commercial property in Sturgis. Both times they were honest, fast, and incredibly knowledgeable. I won’t use anyone else for roofing in the Black Hills.”
“After getting three bids, Downs Roofing wasn’t just the best price — they were the most thorough and transparent. The crew finished a full roof replacement in one day and left the property cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend.”

Meet the Owners
I started Downs Roofing over 35 years ago because the Black Hills deserved a roofing contractor who shows up, tells the truth, and stands behind their work. No out-of-town crews. No surprise bills. Just honest work from people who live here.
Today, my son Tristin works alongside me. We’re a family business serving Spearfish, Rapid City, Sturgis, and the communities we call home. When you call Downs Roofing, you’re talking to us — not a call center.
We’ve built our reputation one roof at a time. And we plan to keep it that way.
“If I wouldn’t put it on my own house, I won’t put it on yours.”
— Shawn Downs, Founder & Owner
After a storm, your roof might look fine from the ground. But hail damage is often invisible until it’s too late. Small cracks let water in slowly. It soaks into the decking and insulation for months — until you see a stain on your ceiling. By then, a small repair has turned into a major job.
Downs Roofing offers free storm damage inspections across the Black Hills. We get on your roof, show you exactly what we found, and give you a straight answer — no pressure, no obligation. We’ve been inspecting and repairing storm damage in this region for 35+ years. Call us before the damage spreads.
We come out quickly after any storm event to perform a thorough inspection at no charge. You’ll have a clear picture of what happened before you make any decisions.
