Star has added thousands of homes in a few short years, and plenty of owners are now adding garages, shops and ADUs. Sage Roofing installs roofs in Star the careful way: correct nailing for 115 mph design wind, ice barrier for winter and ventilation sized for 100°F summers.

Star grew from about 650 residents in 1990 to more than 20,000 by 2024. Building moved fast, and installation quality varied with it. The difference between a roof that lasts and one that leaks early is usually in details no one sees from the street.
We install roofs on additions, detached garages, shops, accessory dwellings and whole homes. The work is the same either way: a clean, flat deck, the right fasteners in the right spots, ice barrier where water collects, flashing that sheds water away from walls and enough airflow to keep the attic dry.
On additions, the hardest part is the tie-in. A new roof plane has to join the existing roof so water flows over the seam, not into it. We match shingle style and color as closely as we can and weave valleys and flashing so the two sections act as one roof.
For whole-home installs, we follow the same approach on a bigger scale. We plan the job slope by slope so the house is never left open, and we install every layer to the manufacturer's instructions for the shingles we use.
Good installation also means good sequencing. Drip edge, ice barrier and underlayment have to go on in the right order, or water can run behind them. Pipe boots, vents and step flashing have to be set as the shingles go up, not caulked in afterward. These steps take a little more time on the roof, and they are the reason a well-installed roof rarely needs a callback. We would rather spend an extra hour on flashing than come back for a leak next spring.

Star designs homes for 115 mph wind in Exposure C. We use the shingle maker's high-wind nailing pattern and sealed starter strips at eaves and rakes, where gusts lift first.
The city's criteria call for 20 psf ground snow and at least 25 psf on the roof. We run self-adhering ice barrier along eaves and in valleys and check that the framing and deck are sound before we cover them.
Hot summers and a 10°F winter design temperature are hard on attics. We size intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge so heat and moisture escape year-round.
A roof's fire rating depends on the whole assembly, not just the shingle. We install Class A rated shingle and metal systems per manufacturer specs, a smart choice near the grass and sagebrush at Star's north edge.
Where your home sits in Star's growth story shapes the installation work. Newer areas mostly need additions that blend in, while older homes need a full roof brought up to today's standards.
Star River Ranch, whose first homes went up in 2021, and newer areas like Heron River, Cranefield and Canvasback are still growing. Owners here often add patio covers, shops or garages. We match the builder's roof so the addition blends in.
Lakeshore Park, which began in 2005, and Hunters Creek, built mostly in 2011 to 2013, are reaching the age where full roof installations come up. We bring the whole roof system up to current practice.
Toward Highway 16 and the open land north of town, outbuildings and larger roofs are common. Metal is a popular install on shops and barns, and we pick fasteners and panels for the wind exposure.
The same careful sequence on a garage, an ADU or a whole house.

Drip edge goes on the eaves, then ice barrier at eaves and valleys, then drip edge on the rakes over the underlayment.
Synthetic underlayment covers the field. Step flashing, kick-outs and pipe boots go in as the roof goes up.
Starter strips, then shingles nailed to high-wind specs, or metal panels fastened per the maker's instructions.
Ridge vent and caps finish the roof. We check every flashing detail, clean up and walk it with you.
0% interest for up to 18 months, or long-term plans as low as $149 a month, on approved credit. That can help when a roof is part of a bigger addition or garage project.
Yes. We install roofs on detached garages, shops, additions and accessory dwellings in Star. We coordinate with your builder on timing and match the main house roof as closely as possible.
The City of Star's adopted design criteria list 115 mph wind for typical homes, with Exposure C. We fasten shingles and metal to the manufacturer's high-wind instructions to meet it.
We open up the existing shingles where the two roofs meet and weave in ice barrier, underlayment and flashing. The new shingles lap over the joint so water runs across it, not into it. It is the most important part of any addition roof.
Most likely. Almost all Star subdivisions are governed by CC&Rs, and color and material rules vary. We provide product details for your architectural committee request.
Re-roofing in Star requires a permit, filed through the city's iWorQ portal. New additions and garages are usually permitted as part of the overall building project. We confirm what's needed for your job.
Star's design criteria list a 24-inch frost line, a 20 psf ground snow load and a minimum 25 psf roof snow load. The frost line matters for foundations, while the snow numbers guide how we check framing and decking.
We install roofs throughout Star ZIP code 83669, from Hunters Creek and Lakeshore Park to Star River Ranch, Langtree and Fallbrook, plus rural properties off State Highway 44. We also work in Eagle, Middleton, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell.
