Commercial Roofer in Boise

It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. A few missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot or a leak around a chimney can usually be repaired. Shingles curling, cracking or shedding granules across the whole roof, repeated leaks in different spots, or soft decking usually point to a replacement. An inspection tells you which one you're dealing with.

Most homes are done in one to three days once work starts. Large or steep roofs, several layers to tear off, decking repairs and the weather can add time. You'll know the expected timeline before work begins.

Sometimes, but it's rarely the better choice. A second layer hides the decking, so rot or soft spots go unseen, adds weight to the structure and can shorten the life of the new shingles. Many local codes also allow no more than two layers. A full tear-off lets the decking be checked and repaired before the new roof goes on.

Move belongings out of the way, put a bucket under the drip and keep people away from any ceiling that is sagging with water. Take photos inside and out. Then get in touch with your address and where the water shows up; a temporary cover can often keep water out until the repair is made.

If a storm damaged your roof, have it inspected before you decide. Take photos, write down the date of the storm and check your policy for deadlines on reporting damage. Your insurer sends an adjuster to assess the claim, and knowing what was damaged beforehand helps you follow the process.
