Asphalt shingles cover most of Star's rooftops, and replacing them well takes more than matching the color. Sage Roofing replaces shingle roofs in Star with architectural and impact-resistant lines, high-wind nailing and colors that suit your HOA and the summer sun.

Walk any Star subdivision and you'll see the same thing: asphalt shingle roofs on nearly every house. They're affordable, they look right on the craftsman and farmhouse-style homes common here, and most HOAs are built around them.
Not all shingles are the same, though. Many first-wave Star homes from the mid-2000s were built with standard builder-grade shingles. When those roofs come due, owners have a chance to choose something better suited to Star's wind, hail and sun.
We install shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed and IKO. Most Star homeowners choose an architectural shingle, and many look at impact-resistant lines for added hail protection. We'll bring samples and explain the differences in plain terms.
Color is more than looks. Darker shingles absorb more heat during Star's 100°F summer days, while lighter colors reflect more of it. Your HOA's approved palette narrows the field, and we help you find a shade that fits both the rules and the climate.
Installation matters as much as the product. A premium shingle installed with the wrong nailing pattern can still blow off in a summer gust front. We follow each manufacturer's high-wind instructions on every Star roof.
Ventilation ties it all together. Shingle makers expect a balanced attic, with fresh air coming in at the soffits and hot air leaving at the ridge. Without it, heat builds up under the deck in summer and moisture condenses in winter, and shingles age faster than they should. On many Star homes, we add or rebalance vents during the replacement, and it's one of the cheapest ways to protect your investment.

Flat, single-layer shingles common on older or budget builds. They're thinner and generally less wind-resistant, so few Star homeowners choose them for a replacement today.
Thicker, laminated shingles with a dimensional look. They resist wind better than 3-tab, last longer and come in colors most Star HOAs approve. This is the most popular choice.
Shingles tested to resist hail impact. With hail events like the April 2024 quarter-size swath across the Treasure Valley, many owners consider them. Some insurers offer discounts, so ask yours.
Most quality asphalt shingles carry a Class A fire rating when installed as part of a rated assembly. A good fit near the grass and sagebrush at Star's northern edge.
The right shingle depends on where your house sits and what it faces. Here's how we think about it.
Homes near the Boise River in Star River Ranch and Heron River, and those on open land toward Highway 16, see strong summer gusts. Laminated shingles with high-wind ratings and sealed starter rows are the smart pick.
Star's weathering is rated Severe, with hot summers and large swings between day and night. Lighter or reflective colors and good attic ventilation help shingles last longer.
From Lakeshore Park to Milestone Ranch, most subdivisions have CC&Rs. Color rules vary by subdivision, so we bring options that fit your HOA and help with architectural committee approval.

Self-adhering ice barrier at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck.
New drip edge, step flashing, kick-outs and pipe boots so water has a clean path off the roof.
Starter strips seal the edges. Shingles go on with the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern.
Ridge vent and matching caps finish the roof, then we 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. Financing can make an upgrade to impact-resistant shingles easier to fit into your budget.
Most choose an architectural shingle. It looks dimensional, handles wind better than 3-tab and fits the approved palettes in most Star HOAs. We install architectural lines from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed and IKO.
They're worth considering. Star doesn't see hail every year, but quarter-size hail crossed the Treasure Valley in April 2024 and a rare 1996 winter supercell dropped severe hail over Star and Eagle. Some insurers offer discounts for Class 4 roofs, so check with yours.
Lighter colors reflect more heat, which can help with attic temperatures on 100°F days. Darker colors absorb more. Your HOA's palette also matters, so we help you pick a shade that fits both.
Star designs homes for 115 mph wind. We use the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern, sealed starter strips at eaves and rakes and proper deck fastening. Those details matter more than any brand name.
Yes, and it's a common upgrade. Architectural shingles are thicker, more durable and better at handling wind. They also give a roof more depth and texture from the street. If your HOA has a color list, we'll match an approved option before ordering.
Look for widespread granule loss, curling or cracking, repeated blow-offs and leaks. One or two damaged shingles can usually be repaired. A free inspection tells you which way to go. We photograph what we find so you can see the condition of your shingles for yourself.
