Buying a new roof is a big decision, and most Star homeowners have never done it before. This guide covers the materials that suit Star's climate, what a complete roof system includes and how to handle your HOA, so you can choose with confidence.

With a median build year of 2009, Star has some of the newest homes in Idaho. That also means a lot of Star owners are shopping for a roof for the very first time. There is no old receipt to compare against and no memory of how the last job went.
Start with three questions. What material fits my home and my HOA? What is included beyond the shingles? And who will stand behind the work? The sections below walk through each one in plain language.
We don't push one product. We install architectural and impact-resistant asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed and IKO, plus metal roofing and Class A rated systems. After a free inspection, we put two or three options side by side in writing so you can compare them on your own time.
Take your time with the decision. A new roof should last for decades, so it is worth asking questions, reading the quote line by line and checking with your HOA before you sign anything.
Price matters, but so does fit. A roof that looks great on a showroom board might clash with your subdivision's approved palette, and a bargain product with thin underlayment can cost more over its life. We help you weigh durability, looks, HOA rules and budget together, then you pick the roof that makes sense for your home and how long you plan to stay in it.
Get My Free OptionsStar's design criteria rate weathering as Severe, with 100°F summers, 10°F winter design temperatures and 115 mph design wind. Here's how the common choices hold up.
The most common choice in Star subdivisions. Thick, layered shingles typically last 25 to 30 years with good ventilation, and they come in a wide range of colors that most HOAs approve.
Built to handle hail better than standard shingles. Hail has crossed this part of the valley before, including the April 2024 quarter-size swath near Eagle, so many Star owners consider the upgrade. Some insurers offer discounts, so ask yours.
Can last 40 years or more, sheds snow well and carries a Class A fire rating. It is a strong fit for homes near the open grass and sagebrush north of town. Check HOA rules first.
Class A is the highest fire rating for roof coverings. Many asphalt and metal systems qualify. It is a sensible choice anywhere near Star's wildland edge toward the foothills and Highway 16.
Shingles are only the part you see. A full roof system has layers that do most of the work against Star's weather. When you compare quotes, make sure each of these is listed, because skipping them is where cheap bids save money.
Synthetic underlayment covers the deck, and self-sealing ice barrier protects the eaves and valleys where melting snow refreezes on cold nights. Both come standard on our new roofs.
New metal flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and valleys, plus drip edge along the roof edges. Reusing old flashing is one of the most common reasons new roofs leak.
Balanced intake and exhaust vents keep the attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. We also match your shingle color to your subdivision's CC&Rs, since almost every Star neighborhood has an HOA.
A simple path from first questions to a scheduled install date.
Start My New RoofWe measure the roof, check the deck and attic and note anything that affects the price or the material choice.
You get a written quote with two or three material choices, what each includes and the expected schedule.
Bring the color and product to your architectural committee. We provide samples and product sheets to make it easy.
Once you choose, we file the City of Star permit online and order materials for your install date.
Most new roofs take 1–3 days. We finish with a cleanup, a magnet sweep and a walk-through of the finished roof.
0% interest for up to 18 months, or long-term plans as low as $149 a month, on approved credit. Financing can let you pick the material you actually want instead of the cheapest one on the list.
Standing seam metal usually lasts the longest, often 40 years or more. Quality architectural shingles typically last 25 to 30 years when the attic is well ventilated. Star's strong UV and big daily temperature swings make ventilation and product quality matter.
Often, yes. Almost all Star subdivisions are HOA communities, and shingle color rules vary by subdivision. Some committees also review material changes such as switching to metal. Get approval before ordering anything.
They're worth considering. Hail is not an everyday event in Star, but quarter-size hail crossed the Treasure Valley in April 2024 and a 1996 winter supercell dropped severe hail over Star and Eagle. Some insurers discount premiums for impact-rated roofs, so ask yours.
It should list the material and color, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation, how decking repairs are handled, the permit and cleanup. Our quotes spell all of this out. If a quote only lists shingles and a price, ask what's missing.
Yes. The City of Star requires a building permit for re-roofing projects, filed through its online iWorQ portal. Reviews are usually same day, and we take care of the filing.
We don't have a verified citywide Class A rule for Star to share. Many asphalt and metal roofs carry a Class A rating anyway, so it's an easy upgrade if you live near open grass or sagebrush at the north edge of town. We'll confirm any requirements for your address.
We install new roofs throughout ZIP code 83669, including Milestone Ranch, Cresta Del Sol, Iron Mountain Vista, Lakeshore Park and the homes near Star Riverwalk Park. Nearby, we serve Eagle, Middleton, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell.
