Questions people actually ask
The roof
Do I need a roof inspection after hail?
Yes, hail damage hides. The bruises that take a shingle out of service look intact from the ground but have lost the granule cover that protects the mat underneath. A proper inspection photographs the impact marks and the soft-metal dents (vents, gutters) that prove the hit, and it gives you something dated to work from if a claim is coming.
How much does a new roof cost?
Depends on the roof more than the company. Square footage and pitch drive the base number; tear-off layers, deck repairs, flashing work, and the shingle class move it from there. A written estimate after a look at the actual roof is the real number, a sight-unseen quote is a guess wearing a price tag.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Boise?
In Boise city limits, yes, the city runs a dedicated 428 permit class for residential roofing, siding, and windows. The contractor pulls it, but the paperwork names it. For properties outside city limits, permits route through the county's development services; the roofer knows which office your address falls under.
How do I verify a roofing contractor in Idaho?
Ask for their contractor registration number and run it through the Idaho DOPL public search. Idaho requires registration (not licensure) for construction work over two thousand dollars, and the online lookup shows whether the registration is active and whether any discipline is on file. A real company produces the number without a pause.
What is the 428 permit?
Boise's residential roofing, siding, and windows permit, the city's classification for re-roof work inside city limits. It exists so the structural work on a roof gets inspected and recorded. A contractor doing work in Boise city limits should name it on the paperwork; one who skips the question is a flag worth noting.
The service
Who calls me back?
One independent roofer covering your town, and only one. The pro usually calls from a mobile between jobs, so expect an unfamiliar number.
How much does it cost me?
Nothing. The request is free and the callback is free. You pay the roofer directly for the work you agree on, the same as if you had called them yourself.
What if my town is not listed?
Pick the nearest town in the dropdown and say where you actually are in the message. The list covers the valley's towns, but pros who run the area often cover the gaps between them. If we cannot match you, we will say so instead of wasting your time.
Is this a real roofing company?
No, and we do not pretend to be one. We are the connection. The roofer who calls you is the business that would do the work, so ask for their Idaho registration number and check it on the DOPL public search before you hire them.
