Service 01  ·  Full Replacements

Torn Off to the Deck. Rebuilt Right the First Time.

When a roof is beyond repair, we don't stack another layer over the problem. We tear off, rebuild the deck as needed, and install a system engineered to outlast the next storm. We pull every nail — most roofers just pound them back in — and we magnet-sweep your yard and driveway until every last one is gone. We build your roof above code and pull all necessary permits required.

What's included

Every replacement gets the same scope — no cut corners.

Most "replacements" are just new shingles over old problems.

A lot of roofers skip the tear-off to save a day of labor — leaving rot, bad decking, and failed flashing buried under a fresh layer that looks fine for a season or two. We tear it all the way down every time, because a roof is only as good as what's underneath it.

Down to the deck

What a real tear-off looks like.

Before anything new goes on, the old roof comes completely off — every shingle, every nail, down to the bare wood. Here's what that looks like on a typical Treasure Valley replacement.

Step by step

How your roof is installed — start to finish.

01

Free inspection & written proposal

We get on your roof, measure it, check the decking and layers underneath, and hand you a written scope with photo documentation — plus an honest ballpark of what a full replacement runs in the Treasure Valley.

02

Permits & material delivery

We pull all required city permits, order your Owens Corning shingle system, and deliver a dumpster and materials to your property — your yard, plants, and driveway get tarped and protected first.

03

Tear-off to the decking

The old roof comes completely off — every layer, every shingle, every nail pulled (never pounded back in). Anything rotten or soft in the deck gets repaired or replaced before anything new goes on.

04

Drip edge first, then ice & water shield

Order matters here. New drip edge is installed along the eaves first, then self-sealing ice-and-water membrane is applied over the drip edge and up the eaves — typically 3 feet minimum, past the interior wall line — so water can't wick back under the metal. The same membrane goes in every valley and around every penetration before we move on.

05

Rake edge, underlayment & starter course

Drip edge goes on the rakes next (over the membrane so runoff sheds onto it), then synthetic underlayment covers the full deck, and starter-course shingles are laid at the eaves — the layered, shingle-fashion sequence that stops wind-driven water and wind-lift at the roof's most exposed lines.

06

Shingles installed to spec

Your Owens Corning shingles go on with correct nail placement, pattern, and exposure — exactly to manufacturer specification, which is what activates the strongest warranty coverage.

07

Flashing, vents & ridge cap

Brand-new flashing at every chimney, valley, and penetration, new pipe boots and vents, and a sealed ridge cap across the peak — the finishing details that decide whether a roof lasts 15 years or 30.

08

Magnet sweep, walkthrough & warranty

We magnet-sweep your yard, lawn, and driveway until every stray nail is gone, walk the roof and property with you for a final inspection, and hand over your Owens Corning warranty paperwork.

Common questions

Replacement questions we hear most.

How much does a roof replacement cost in the Treasure Valley?

Most full tear-off replacements in the Treasure Valley land between roughly $10,000 and $25,000 depending on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, and the material you choose. Your free inspection gets you an exact, written number — never a vague guess.

How long does a replacement take?

Most homes are done in one to three working days — tear-off and decking day one, installation the next. Weather can shift the schedule; we never shingle over a wet deck.

Can I stay home during the work?

Yes. It's loud — hammering starts early — but you can stay in the home. We protect landscaping, keep pathways clear, and clean up completely at the end of each day.

What warranty comes with a new roof?

Every replacement carries our 10-year in-house workmanship warranty, and as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor we can add extended manufacturer material warranties most roofers can't offer.
