From North End bungalows to foothills homes that need a Class A fire-rated roof, Sage Roofing replaces Boise roofs to fit the code and the climate. We handle the City of Boise permit, tear off the old layers and install a roof made for snow, hail and high-desert sun.

The median Boise home was built in 1986, and about half of the city's houses went up between 1970 and 1999. If your home is in a 1990s West Boise or Southeast Boise subdivision, there's a good chance the shingles overhead are original or near the end of their 20 to 30 year life.
Older neighborhoods have their own issues. In the North End and along Warm Springs Avenue, Craftsman and Victorian homes often have several layers of past re-roofs. Boise allows no more than two layers, so a full tear-off is usually the right call.
We start every Boise roof replacement with a hands-on inspection of the decking, flashing and attic ventilation. Then we give you a clear quote, not a sales pitch.
Schedule My Free InspectionThe Treasure Valley is semi-arid high desert. That means big temperature swings, intense summer sun, winter snow and the occasional violent thunderstorm. Your new roof needs to handle all of it.
Hail hits Boise most often in March and June. The August 2009 storm dropped 1.5-inch stones in town. Thunderstorm outflow winds over 60 mph aren't unusual either, so we pair impact-resistant shingle options with high-wind nailing patterns.
Boise designs roofs for a 20 psf ground snow load (25 psf minimum on the roof). The record winter of 2016–17 collapsed roofs across Ada County. We check the decking and fix attic ventilation to help prevent ice dams.
Homes in Boise's Wildland-Urban Interface, the foothills and nearby areas, must have a Class A roof covering. The 2016 Table Rock Fire showed why. We install Class A asphalt, metal and other rated systems.
Hot, dry days followed by quick-cooling nights make asphalt shingles expand and contract every day, and strong summer UV speeds up granule loss. Quality shingles, proper ventilation and reflective color choices help your roof last.
Boise's neighborhoods were built in very different eras, and each comes with its own rules. Here is what we plan for.
Historic homes in Boise's preservation overlays, like Hyde Park and the Warm Springs area, need a Certificate of Appropriateness before you change roofing material. Same-material re-roofs are usually a minor review. We confirm the rules for your district before ordering anything.
Post-war ranches on the Bench and the 1970s–90s tract and split-level homes in West Boise make up much of the city's housing. Many of these roofs are on their second cycle and due again. Expect a tear-off, new underlayment and updated ventilation.
Newer homes in the foothills and Southeast Boise often sit in the wildfire zone, where Class A roofing is required. Many are also in HOAs with architectural committees. We help you match approved colors and products and get HOA sign-off.
No surprises and no runaround. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to the final cleanup.
Start With a Free InspectionWe get on the roof and into the attic. We document decking, flashing, ventilation and any hail or wind damage with photos.
You get material options (architectural shingle, impact-resistant, metal, Class A systems), a firm price and a timeline.
We file the City of Boise residential roofing permit for you. If needed, we also coordinate historic-district or HOA approvals.
Old layers come off down to the deck. We replace bad sheathing, then install underlayment, flashing, ventilation and your new roof.
We sweep the yard with magnets for nails, haul away debris and walk the finished roof with you.
0% interest for up to 18 months, or long-term plans as low as $149 a month, on approved credit. We also help you document storm damage for your insurance claim when hail or wind is the cause.
Yes. The City of Boise requires a building permit to re-roof a home. It's filed as a Residential Roofing, Siding and Windows permit and must include the contractor's Idaho registration number. City code allows no more than two roof layers, and an overlay is only allowed over a single existing layer. Sage Roofing pulls the permit and schedules the inspections for you.
Usually, yes. Boise has a Wildland-Urban Interface overlay, and homes inside it, which covers much of the foothills, must have a Class A fire-rated roof covering. Rules can vary by parcel, so we confirm your address against the city's WUI map during the inspection and quote only compliant systems.
Homes in Boise's historic preservation overlays, such as parts of the North End, East End and Warm Springs, need a Certificate of Appropriateness to change roofing material. Re-roofing with the same material, or switching to composition shingle, is typically a minor, staff-level review. We check your district's requirements before you choose a product.
Boise's design criteria call for a 20 psf ground snow load and a minimum 25 psf roof snow load. The record 2016–17 winter led to a state disaster declaration for Ada County after roofs collapsed. During a replacement we inspect and replace weak decking and correct attic ventilation, which also cuts down on ice dams.
Age is the first clue. The median Boise home was built in 1986, and many 1990s roofs are past the typical 20 to 30 year life of asphalt shingles. Other signs include curling or cracked shingles, bare spots where granules have worn off, leaks after snowmelt, and hail bruising after a spring storm. A free inspection will tell you whether a repair will do or a replacement makes more sense.
It does from time to time. National Weather Service storm reports show hail in Boise most often in March and June, and a 2009 storm dropped 1.5-inch hail in the city. If you suspect hail damage, we document it with photos you can use for your insurance claim.
