Asphalt shingle roofing, the Treasure Valley standard

The most common roof in the valley, and for good reason. Here is what it does well, and where it struggles.

Why most valley homes have it

Architectural asphalt shingle is the default here because it balances cost, lifespan and looks better than anything else at the price. A quality architectural shingle carries a manufacturer material warranty measured in decades, handles wind well when it is nailed correctly, and comes in enough colors to satisfy any HOA.

Where it struggles in Idaho

Heat cycling. Valley summers bake a roof and winter nights drop it fifty degrees. That expansion and contraction is what ages shingles here, not rain. It is also why attic ventilation matters more than the shingle brand. A well-ventilated cheap roof will usually outlast a poorly ventilated expensive one.

What we install

Architectural laminate shingles with synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and at eaves, and every penetration flashed individually rather than caulked. The exact product line goes on your written estimate before you sign.

Not sure whether shingle is right for your house? That is what the free inspection answers.
