Your Roofer in Boise for Repairs and New Roofs
Half of Boise's homes were built in 1985 or earlier, and long, hot summers are hard on an older roof. We repair, replace and inspect roofs across town, before the wear turns into a leak.
We answer the phone or call back the same working day, and we show up when we say we will.

What we do in Boise
Roofer in Boise for Homes and Businesses
We work as a roofer in Boise, repairing, replacing and inspecting roofs on homes and on commercial buildings, and one call covers the whole roof rather than one part of it.
-
Roof repairs
Missing or creased shingles, lifted flashing and a cracked "pipe boot" at a vent, fixed and matched to the roof around them.
-
Older Boise homes
New roofs
A full "tear-off" to the deck, the decking checked and repaired, then a new roof from the underlayment up to the ridge.
-
Roof inspections
We walk the roof, check the shingles, flashing, vents and decking, and hand you a written report with photos.
-
Commercial roofs
Flat and low-slope membrane roofs on shops, offices and warehouses, repaired where they fail or replaced when they are done.
Free, no-obligation estimates, and the whole job quoted before we start.

Roof Repairs and Replacements for Boise Homes
Our repairs and replacements in Boise follow the town's own conditions, with the materials and details each roof needs rather than one recipe for every house.
Half of Boise's homes were built in 1985 or earlier, so plenty of houses in town are old enough to have been re-roofed already, and some are carrying shingles well into their last years. Every summer adds 55 days of hard heat on top of that, drying the shingles and wearing off their grit. An aging roof is cheaper to plan for than to rescue: a replacement booked on your schedule beats one forced by a stain on the ceiling.
- 1985
- The median year a Boise home was built
- 55
- Days of hard summer heat on a Boise roof each year
On a Boise replacement, three details do most of the work:
-
Under the shingles
We tear off to the deck and lay synthetic underlayment over the whole roof, with "ice and water shield" at the eaves and valleys where water backs up first.
-
Flashing and ventilation
All of the flashing is replaced rather than reused, and the ventilation is corrected, so attic heat stops aging the new shingles from underneath.
-
Exposed and windy roofs
A roof that stands open to the wind gets a high wind-rated shingle and a high-wind nailing pattern, so the edges stay sealed.

Michael did a great job for us. Met him randomly because he bought something from me on FB Marketplace, and then we got talking. Soon enough we were walking around on my roof and he gave me a very competitive quote. He was super professional and the roof is done right. I feel lucky to have found him!

Questions
Roofer questions we hear in Boise
What does a roofer do?
A roofer repairs, replaces and inspects roofs: the shingles or membrane on top, the underlayment and flashing under them, and the decking and vents that hold the system together. We do that work on homes and commercial buildings across Boise.
What does "roofer" mean?
A "roofer" is the tradesperson who builds and fixes the roof itself, from the deck up to the ridge. When a roof leaks, loses shingles to the wind or reaches the end of its life, the roofer is the one you call.
How much should roof work cost?
It depends on the job. Roofing is priced by the "square", which is 100 square feet of roof surface, and the size, pitch, layers, access and material all move the price; repairs cost more once water has spread into the decking. Our guide to what a roof costs sets out what moves it, and we walk the roof and put the whole price in writing, line by line, before any work starts.
