Roofing for Boise — from North End craftsmans to foothills homes

Idaho's capital has every kind of roof: 1910s craftsmans under 100-year-old elms, 1950s Bench ranches, 1980s West Boise two-stories, and foothills homes with their own wildfire and snow rules. We work all of it, ten minutes from Meridian.

Boise is a city of 253,550 people and about a dozen distinct roofing markets. The North End and East End are craftsman bungalows and Tudors from the 1900s to the 1930s under enormous elms and maples — steep pitches, dormers, brick chimneys, second and third layers, and limb damage in every windstorm. The Bench is 1940s–60s ranches with long, low roofs. West Boise and the streets off Cole, Maple Grove and Five Mile are 1970s–90s two-stories on their second roof. Southeast Boise, Bown Crossing and Harris Ranch are newer and cut-up. And the foothills — the North End above Hill Road, Highlands, Quail Ridge, Somerset — have their own rules: higher snow loads than the valley floor, and Boise's Fire Prevention Code adds wildfire (WUI) requirements for roofing on hillside lots, which means Class A assemblies and ember-resistant vents.

Boise's Planning and Development Services issues its own roofing permits, separate from Meridian's, and we handle them. The weather is the same weather: the May 25, 2026 thunderstorm that blew the roof off the Alaska Air Cargo building at the airport, the June 27 hail, the January 2017 snow that put the city under a state of emergency. We're fifteen minutes from the Bench and twenty from the North End, and we're in Boise most days.

Questions from Boise homeowners

Do you serve Boise or just Meridian?

Both, every week. Meridian and Boise share a border and most of our crews live on one side of it or the other. Boise permits go through the city's Planning and Development Services rather than Meridian, and we pull them.

What's different about roofing in the foothills?

Snow loads are higher above the valley floor, and Boise applies wildfire (WUI) requirements to hillside lots — a Class A roof assembly and ember-resistant vents. The lots are also steep and access is harder, which shows up in the price. We build to the WUI rules and say so on the permit.

Can you replace a roof on a 1915 North End craftsman?

Yes, and we do a lot of them: multiple layers off, decking often replaced sheet by sheet (the original is 1×6 skip sheathing under cedar), new chimney flashing in metal, ice barrier at the eaves, and a heavyweight architectural or standing seam that suits the house.

How much does a roof cost in Boise?

The same as Meridian for the same roof: about $11,000–$17,500 for a 2,000–2,600 square-foot home in architectural shingles in 2026. North End steep roofs with multiple layers and foothills homes run higher; we price them in writing after we've been on the roof.
