Coeur d'Alene Premier Roofing: Roof Replacement & Repair, Metal & Shingle Roofs

A full roof replacement in Coeur d'Alene means tearing off to the deck under 2018 IRC R908.3, and a new layer over two old ones is never allowed. We replace rotted sheathing, add ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment and drip edge, then install architectural shingles, standing seam metal or Brava composite. Most local replacements run $9,000 to $18,000 in asphalt.

Our roof repair work covers lifted or missing shingles, cracked pipe boots, failed step flashing, loose ridge cap and damaged vents. We match the existing shingle line where it is still made and seal every penetration. If a roof is near the 30-year life of architectural shingles and failing in several places, we tell you plainly that repair money is better spent on replacement.

Architectural shingles last about 30 years against 20 for 3-tab, which is why we install CertainTeed Landmark on most homes. Landmark carries a UL Class A fire rating and an ASTM D3161 Class F wind rating, and it comes with a lifetime limited warranty. See our asphalt shingle roofing page for colors and options.

Standing seam panels hide their fasteners under raised seams, so nothing pierces the roof face. We use 24-gauge steel, the thickness recommended for snow and hail country, with a Kynar 500 finish that resists fading for decades. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 80 years, sheds snow well and needs snow guards above doors and walkways.

Most leaks we trace in Coeur d'Alene start at valleys, chimneys, skylights or plumbing vents, not in the open field of shingles. January is the wettest month here with 3.21 inches of precipitation, so a small flashing gap shows up as a ceiling stain in midwinter. We find the entry point, fix the cause and document it with photos.

A free roof inspection checks shingles, flashing, ventilation, decking soft spots and attic moisture. When a roof is too steep, icy or fragile to walk, we fly a drone and send you the photos. Buyers use our written report before closing, and owners use it to decide between a repair and a replacement.

Wind, hail and falling limbs tear shingles loose and dent metal. On September 25, 2024 the National Weather Service warned of 60 mph gusts and penny-size hail over Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden. Our storm damage roof repair team documents every hit for your insurance adjuster before work begins.

When a branch punches through or a storm strips a section of roof, we respond fast with heavy tarps fastened to keep water out of the attic and walls. Once the roof is dry and safe, we price the permanent repair in writing. Emergency calls during a storm are booked in the order they come in, nearest leaks first.

For custom homes, additions and garages, we install new roofs to the 2018 International Residential Code Idaho builds under, including the ice barrier Coeur d'Alene requires at every eave. We coordinate with your builder on sheathing, ventilation and the permit inspection schedule, and we can install shingles, standing seam metal or Brava composite.

Ice dams form when attic heat melts roof snow and the water refreezes at the cold eave, backing up under shingles. We clear dams without chipping the roof, then fix the cause with air sealing, insulation and ventilation. See ice dam removal for how we keep them from coming back.

The IRC calls for 1 square foot of net vent area per 150 square feet of attic, or 1 per 300 when vents are balanced between ridge and eaves. We pair a ridge vent with soffit intake and keep a 1-inch air channel above the insulation, which lowers attic heat and ice dam risk.

We install new skylights and sun tunnels and replace leaking ones during a re-roof, when the flashing kit can be built into the new underlayment. In snow country, a skylight's curb and upslope flashing get an extra layer of ice and water shield, because that is where meltwater pools.

Seamless gutters are formed on site in one length per run, so there are no seams to leak at the corners of the house. We size downspouts for spring melt and add gutter guards where pines drop needles, which keeps water moving off the roof instead of freezing in a clogged gutter.

A chimney needs step flashing woven into each shingle course and counter flashing cut into the mortar above it. When either fails, water runs down inside the chase. We rebuild the flashing in metal, add a cricket behind wide chimneys so snow and water can't sit there, and seal the cap.

Lake homes around Rockford Bay, Casco Bay, Wolf Lodge Bay, Cougar Bay and Harrison, including boat-access-only cabins, need materials staged by barge or hand carry. We plan the delivery, protect docks and decks, and haul every scrap back out so nothing ends up in the lake.
