Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofing and Repair

A shingle roof is a system, so this list covers the parts under the shingles as well as the shingles themselves.

  • CertainTeed Landmark Architectural Shingles

    CertainTeed Landmark is the shingle we install most. It carries a UL Class A fire rating, passes the ASTM D3161 Class F wind test, and comes with a lifetime limited warranty and a 15-year, 110 mph wind warranty that can be upgraded to 130 mph. CertainTeed adds 10-year SureStart protection on top, and our crews are ShingleMaster credentialed to install it.

  • Architectural vs 3-Tab Shingles

    Architectural shingles, also called laminated or dimensional, bond two layers into a thicker, shadowed profile. InterNACHI rates them at about 30 years, against 20 for flat 3-tab shingles. In Idaho, architectural shingles run $450-$650 per square installed in 2026. We rarely recommend 3-tab now, because its rated life is about a decade shorter for a modest saving.

  • Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles

    Class 4 impact-resistant shingles pass UL 2218, where a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from 20 feet twice on the same spot without cracking the shingle. Hail does reach us: the National Weather Service warned of penny-size hail over Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden and Rathdrum on September 25, 2024. Class 4 shingles are available on request; ask your insurer if they lower the premium for them.

  • Premium CertainTeed Roof Systems

    A premium CertainTeed system pairs Landmark shingles with CertainTeed starter strips, hip and ridge cap, underlayment and ventilation, all from one maker. Using matched components is what qualifies a roof for the stronger system warranty options. We explain which tier your roof qualifies for in the written estimate, so you can see what the extra cost buys before you decide.

  • Ice and Water Shield at Eaves and Valleys

    Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane meeting ASTM D1970 that seals around every nail. Coeur d'Alene's design table requires an ice barrier, and code R905.1.2 runs it from the eave to 24 inches inside the exterior wall. With a January daily mean of 31.2F, ice dams are common here, so we also run it in every valley and around chimneys and skylights.

  • Synthetic Underlayment and Drip Edge

    Above the ice barrier, we cover the deck with synthetic underlayment instead of #30 felt. Polypropylene sheets do not rot, tear or wrinkle the way felt does when a job runs into a wet week. Drip edge goes on every eave and rake, as code R905.2.8.5 requires, lapped at least 2 inches and fastened no more than 12 inches apart, so water drips clear of the fascia.

  • Roof Ventilation: Ridge Vents and Soffit Intake

    Shingles last longer over a cold, dry attic. Code R806.2 asks for 1 square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic, or 1 per 300 when the vents are balanced between ridge and eave. We cut in continuous ridge vent and open soffit intake, and keep the 1-inch air channel above the insulation that R806.3 calls for.

  • Shingle Roof Repair

    Our shingle roof repair calls cover blown-off shingles, lifted tabs, nail pops, cracked pipe boots, and leaking step or chimney flashing. Wind is a common cause here; the November 2015 windstorm brought a 71 mph gust to Spokane. After hail or wind, see our storm damage roof repair page for tarping and insurance help.

  • Full Tear-Off and Decking Replacement

    Re-roofing under code R908.3 means removal down to the deck, and that is how we replace every shingle roof. Once the old layers are off, we can find and replace dry rot, as Coeur d'Alene's re-roof rules require, and renail loose sheathing. Nationally, tear-off adds about $100-$150 per square, and it is included in our written price.

When Should You Replace an Asphalt Shingle Roof?

Replace an asphalt shingle roof when it nears the end of its rated life or shows widespread wear. InterNACHI puts 3-tab shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at about 30. Curling or cracked shingles, bald spots where granules have washed away, and repeat leaks in different places all point to replacement over repair.

North Idaho wears shingles faster than the label suggests. Coeur d'Alene's design air freezing index is 809, which means long stretches of freeze-thaw that pry at nail holes and flashing. The hottest day of an average year reaches about 97.7F, which softens the asphalt, and winter snow loads press on the same roof months later.

One leak on a 12-year-old roof is almost always a repair. A roof past 20 years with wind damage on several slopes usually is not worth patching, and we will say so plainly. If you expect to stay a long time, compare the price with metal roofing before you choose.

Shingle Tear-Off Rules and Re-Roof Permits in Coeur d'Alene

Idaho follows the 2018 IRC, and section R908.3.1.1 forbids a new roof over two or more existing layers. On an older home that already carries a second layer, a third is off the table. Coeur d'Alene's re-roof rules also require replacing dry rot, a Class A or B roof covering rated for at least 25 years, and proper flashing and ventilation.

Code also sets the basics of how shingles go on. Asphalt shingles need a slope of at least 2:12, and roofs between 2:12 and 4:12 need a double layer of underlayment under R905.2.2. Each shingle strip takes at least four nails under R905.2.6. We follow the CertainTeed nailing pattern, which matters for the wind warranty.

Coeur d'Alene requires a permit for a re-roof and usually issues it over the counter. Post Falls charges a flat $155 for a residential re-roof permit, so homeowners comparing quotes for roof replacement in Post Falls should check that the permit is included. We pull the permit on every replacement and list it in the estimate.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing FAQs

How long do asphalt shingles last in North Idaho?

Architectural shingles last about 30 years and 3-tab shingles about 20, according to InterNACHI. In North Idaho, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and summer heat can shorten that, especially over a poorly vented attic. Good ventilation and ice and water shield at the eaves are the two things that most help a shingle roof reach its rated life.

Can you put new shingles over old shingles in Idaho?

Only if the roof has a single layer now. Idaho uses the 2018 IRC, and R908.3.1.1 bans a new roof over two or more existing layers. Even when a second layer is legal, we recommend a full tear-off so we can inspect the deck, replace rot and install ice and water shield on clean sheathing.

Are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in Coeur d'Alene?

They can be. Class 4 shingles pass UL 2218, a test that drops a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet twice on one spot. Kootenai County does get hail, including a September 2024 warning for penny-size hail. Class 4 shingles are available on request, and the decision usually comes down to price and whether an insurance discount applies.

How much does it cost to replace a roof on an 1800 sq ft house?

Most average-size Coeur d'Alene homes, including many around 1,800 square feet, fall in our $9,000-$18,000 range for an architectural shingle roof. Pitch, layers to remove and decking repairs decide the exact figure. Statewide, installed architectural shingles run about $450-$650 per square in 2026, and a free estimate gives your real number.

Which shingle brand does Premier Roofing install?

We install CertainTeed, mainly the Landmark architectural line, and our crews hold the CertainTeed ShingleMaster credential. Landmark is UL Class A fire rated, passes ASTM D3161 Class F for wind, and carries a lifetime limited warranty. Using CertainTeed starter, ridge cap and underlayment on the same roof opens up the stronger system warranty options.

How can I tell if wind damaged my shingle roof?

Look for shingles in the yard, dark patches where a tab tore off, and creased shingles that lifted and folded back. Coeur d'Alene designs roofs for 115 mph winds, yet aging shingles that have lost their seal can lift in much lighter gusts. If you spot damage, request a free inspection before snow arrives, since snow hides damage and meltwater finds every opening.
