## Price

$350-$650 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. 2026 published Boise-area installed pricing for architectural/dimensional asphalt shingle (legacyroofingidaho.com).

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Full tear-off to the deck — never a shingle roof-over on a second layer, past the two-layer limit code allows
- Deck inspection and replacement of any rotten or delaminated sheathing, priced as its own line
- Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the field
- Drip edge and new flashing at chimneys, walls, and vents — not reused off the old roof
- Installation held to the manufacturer's temperature spec so the self-sealing adhesive strip actually bonds
- Balanced ridge and soffit ventilation checked and corrected, not just matched to what was there
- Full site cleanup with a magnet sweep for dropped nails and haul-away of the old shingles

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** - We walk the roof, check the deck from the attic side where we can, count penetrations and valleys, and hand you a written per-square price — no pressure, no charge.
02. **Permit and shingle order** - We pull the reroofing permit and order the exact shingle line, color, and quantity your roof needs — not a rounded-up estimate.
03. **Tear-off and install** - Full tear-off to the deck, sheathing repaired where needed, underlayment and flashing installed to spec, then shingles fastened and sealed to manufacturer temperature and wind-rating requirements.
04. **Inspection and walkthrough** - Final inspection, magnet sweep for nails, gutters and landscaping checked for debris, and we walk the finished roof with you before we leave.

## When it's needed

- Shingles curling, cupping, or losing granules in patches
- Daylight visible through the roof deck from the attic
- Soft or spongy spots when walking the roof
- Missing shingles or exposed nail heads after a wind event
- Water stains on interior ceilings, especially near valleys or chimneys
- Roof is 20+ years old and was installed during the 1990s-2000s building boom

## FAQ

**How long does an architectural shingle roof replacement take in Boise?**

Most single-family homes take one to two days once material is on-site, weather permitting. Steep-pitch or heavily-cut roofs (multiple valleys, dormers, chimneys) can run closer to three. We give you a specific day estimate at the inspection, not a generic range.

**What's the real difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?**

Architectural shingles are made from two or more laminated layers, giving them a heavier, dimensional look and a higher wind rating — typically 110-130 mph versus a 3-tab's flatter profile and lower rating. They also carry longer manufacturer warranties. The tradeoff is cost: architectural runs roughly $350-650 per square installed in this market versus $250-400 for 3-tab.

**Which shingle brands do you install?**

We install GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Malarkey architectural lines. Each has real differences in algae resistance, wind-rating technology, and warranty terms worth understanding before you pick one — see our brand comparison guide for specifics.

**Will a repair patch ever match my roof's original color exactly?**

Not perfectly, and we won't tell you otherwise. Asphalt shingles fade with UV exposure over time, so a patch installed years after the original roof will usually look slightly different at first and blend somewhat as it weathers. We'll tell you honestly how noticeable it's likely to be before we do the work.
