Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement & Repair in Coeur d'Alene, ID

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 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
