A re-roof is more than a new layer of shingles. On Star homes we decide between tear-off and overlay, check every sheet of decking and fix what the original builder missed. Then we file the City of Star permit and put a fresh roof on a solid base.
Tell us about your roof and we'll set up a free on-site look.
Most homes in Star still wear their first roof. The city's median build year is 2009, and early subdivisions like Lakeshore Park date back to 2005. So when a Star homeowner calls about a re-roof, it is usually the first time anyone has looked under those shingles since the builder left.
That first look matters. Builder roofs are put on fast, in large batches. We often find details worth upgrading during a re-roof: thin or missing ice barrier at the eaves, step flashing tucked in without a kick-out, and attic vents that do not move enough air for a hot Star summer.
A re-roof is your chance to fix those things for good. We remove the old roof, look at the bare deck, and rebuild the roof system with modern underlayment, flashing and ventilation. You end up with a better roof than the one your house came with, not just a newer one.
Because so few Star homes have been re-roofed before, most still have a single layer of shingles. That gives you a real choice between a tear-off and an overlay, and we walk you through both before you decide.
An overlay costs less up front and creates less waste, but it hides the deck, keeps old flashing in place and adds weight to a roof designed for Star's snow load. A tear-off takes a little longer and reveals everything. For most homes we recommend the tear-off, and we explain why in plain terms with photos from your own roof.
Book My Re-Roof InspectionA few repairs can buy time. These signs usually mean the whole roof surface is wearing out.
Bare, shiny patches and piles of granules in the gutters mean UV has worn the shingles down. In Star's 100°F summers, that wear speeds up once it starts.
If shingles keep lifting or tearing off after summer gust fronts, the seal strips have likely failed across the roof. Patching one slope at a time stops making sense.
A deck that flexes underfoot points to moisture damage from leaks or poor attic airflow. That sheathing has to be replaced, which only happens with a tear-off. Overlaying a soft deck just traps the problem under new shingles.
If your roof was overlaid once, a second overlay is not an option in most codes. Stacked layers also hide deck problems and add weight. It's time for a full strip.
Star's neighborhoods were built in clear waves. Each wave tends to need different work when the roof comes due. Knowing when your home went up tells us a lot before we ever climb a ladder, though we always confirm on the roof.
Star's first legacy community, built from 2005 to 2016. Its oldest homes are the likeliest in town to be on original shingles. Expect a tear-off, some deck repair and updated attic ventilation.
Developed in 2008 with most homes finished in 2011 to 2013. These roofs are often still sound but worth a close look for lifted tabs, worn ridge caps and flashing gaps around chimneys and walls.
Heavy production building since 2015 includes neighborhoods like Canvasback, Cranefield and Langtree. Re-roofs here are usually storm-driven. We check whether a full re-roof or a slope repair fits the damage.
A typical re-roof takes 1–3 days once work begins. Here's the order of operations.
Get My Re-Roof QuoteWe cover landscaping, windows and the AC unit, and park the dump trailer where it won't block your driveway.
Every old shingle, nail and underlayment sheet comes off. Debris goes straight into the trailer.
We walk the bare sheathing and replace any rotted or delaminated boards. We show you what we found before closing it up.
Ice barrier at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, flashing and vents, then the shingles and ridge caps.
Magnets go over the lawn, beds and driveway. We walk the roof with you and leave the site clean.
0% interest for up to 18 months, or long-term plans as low as $149 a month, on approved credit. Re-roofing in one go is often more cost-effective than patching a worn roof slope by slope for years.
Sometimes. If your Star home has a single layer and the deck is solid, an overlay may be possible. We usually recommend a tear-off because it lets us inspect the deck and install ice barrier and new flashing. We'll explain the tradeoffs before you decide.
The City of Star FAQ says re-roofing permits are typically reviewed the same day. Applications go through the city's online iWorQ portal, which requires contractor registration. We file it as part of the job.
Yes, in most cases. Almost every Star subdivision has CC&Rs, and color rules vary between subdivisions. Even a same-color re-roof may need a quick architectural committee form, so check before materials are ordered.
We stop and show you photos of the damaged sheathing. Then we replace those boards before any underlayment goes down. We explain how decking is handled in your written quote so there are no surprises.
It can. Star designs roofs for a 20 psf ground snow load and a 25 psf minimum roof load. A re-roof lets us replace weak decking, add ice barrier at the eaves and improve attic ventilation, which helps limit ice dams on cold 10°F nights.
It depends on the condition, not just the age. A roof that keeps losing shingles in wind or shows heavy granule loss may be better re-roofed than patched. A free inspection gives you a clear answer.
We re-roof homes across ZIP code 83669, including Lakeshore Park, Hunters Creek, Heirloom Ridge, Fallbrook and the newer subdivisions near the Boise River. We also serve Eagle, Middleton, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell.
