## Price

$400-$1,500 typical ice-dam damage repair (localized eave/deck repair, not a full replacement). directional range for repairing eave damage and localized decking caused by ice-dam backup.

## What's included

- On-site inspection of the eaves, gutters, and lowest three courses of shingles
- Written per-repair price before any work starts
- Removal of shingles in the affected eave area to check the deck underneath
- Replacement of water-damaged or delaminated decking at a disclosed per-sheet rate
- Re-installation of ice-and-water barrier membrane at the eave
- Shingle replacement matched to existing color and profile where available
- Gutter and downspout check, since ice dams often start with a clogged gutter
- Interior ceiling check near affected eaves for water staining

## Process

01. **Free on-site inspection** - We check the eaves, gutters, and lowest shingle courses where ice dams form and cause the most backup damage.
02. **Written repair quote** - You get a price for the eave repair scope, with deck replacement called out separately if the sheathing is wet or rotted.
03. **Eave repair and membrane reset** - Damaged shingles and decking are removed, wet sheathing is replaced, and ice-and-water barrier goes back down at the eave.
04. **Shingle replacement and final check** - Matching shingles are reinstalled and we confirm the eave and gutter line are clear before we close out the job.

## When it's needed

- Ice buildup along the eaves or in the gutters after snow
- Water staining on ceilings near exterior walls following a snow-then-thaw stretch
- Shingles near the eave lifted, cupped, or missing granules in a concentrated band
- Icicles forming heavily at the roof edge each winter
- Soft or spongy decking felt underfoot near the eave during a spring inspection
- Interior attic frost or moisture near the lowest roof edge
- Repeated ice dams in the same spot every winter

## FAQ

**Do I need ice-barrier underlayment on a Boise roof?**

Boise city limits don't require an ice-barrier underlayment by code, which is part of why older eaves here can be vulnerable during a hard freeze-thaw stretch. We can add it at the eave during repair even where it wasn't originally installed.

**How do I know if I have ice dam damage versus a normal leak?**

Ice dam damage typically shows up as staining right along the lowest few feet of ceiling near an exterior wall, often after a stretch of snow followed by a thaw-refreeze cycle, rather than during active rainfall.

**Will a heat cable fix this instead of a repair?**

Heat cable can reduce ice dam formation going forward, but it doesn't repair decking or shingles that are already damaged from a past backup — that needs to be addressed directly.

**Can this wait until spring or does it need attention now?**

If water is actively getting into the attic or ceiling, don't wait — trapped moisture in decking leads to rot and mold. If it's minor lifting with no active leak, it can often be scheduled rather than treated as an emergency.
