When Should You Replace Your Roof?
Replace your roof when it's near the end of its life, which is 20 to 25 years for architectural shingles in North Idaho, when leaks show up in more than one place, or when damage is spread across the roof.
- The roof is 20 years old or more
- Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing across large areas
- Granules wash into the gutters after every storm
- Leaks keep showing up in different places
- The roof deck sags or feels soft
- The roof already has two layers and needs work again
One of these on its own doesn't always mean a new roof. A free inspection tells you which it is. For more detail, read our guide to the signs your roof needs replacing, or see roof repair if the damage is in one spot.
How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in North Idaho?
Most homes cost $8,000 to $15,000 for a full replacement with architectural shingles. Standing seam metal runs about $18,000 to $24,000 for a 1,500 square foot roof.

What Roofing Materials Do We Install?
We install Owens Corning architectural shingles and standing seam metal on homes, and TPO membrane on flat and low-slope sections.
Architectural shingles
Owens Corning shingles such as Duration carry a Limited Lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects for as long as you own a single-family home. In North Idaho they realistically last 20 to 25 years.
Standing seam metal
Sheds snow well and lasts 40 to 70 years. It costs more upfront and can cost less over the life of the home.
TPO membrane
A single-ply membrane for flat and low-slope sections, like porches and additions. See commercial roofing for larger flat roofs.

Why Use an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?
Only Owens Corning Platinum and Preferred Contractors can offer Owens Corning's extended warranties, which add coverage beyond the standard shingle warranty.
Anyone can install Owens Corning shingles under the standard warranty, as long as they follow the installation instructions and local code. The extended warranties are different: Owens Corning authorizes only its Platinum and Preferred Contractors to offer them, and they require Owens Corning hip and ridge shingles, underlayment, and two other Owens Corning accessories.
- Lakeview Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor
- Owens Corning warranties can transfer to the next owner if the transfer happens within 60 days of the sale
- Ask which warranty your estimate includes. Owens Corning notes its contractors are authorized, but not obligated, to offer the extended warranties

What Happens During a Roof Replacement?
We tear the old roof off down to the deck, repair any damaged decking, install ice barrier, underlayment, and the new roof, then clean up and walk the job with you. Most homes take 1 to 3 days.
- Permit and prep
We pull the building permit and protect your landscaping, siding, and driveway before work starts.
- Tear-off
Every layer comes off down to the roof deck, as Idaho's residential code requires for a replacement.
- Deck repair
We replace any rotted or damaged decking so the new roof has a solid base.
- Ice barrier and underlayment
Ice barrier goes on at the eaves, which code requires where ice dams are a known problem, then underlayment and drip edge.
- New roof and ventilation
Shingles or metal, flashing, and ridge venting, installed to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Cleanup and walkthrough
A full cleanup, including a magnet sweep for nails, and a walkthrough of the finished roof.
