Bench-side replacement after a June hailstorm
A 1970s ranch on the east bench took hail on the south face. The owner was told the whole roof was gone. Our walk found the north face intact — the claim and the quote covered what the photos showed, nothing more.
The work. South-face tear-off to the deck, two sheets re-decked, ice-and-water at the eaves, architectural shingles color-matched to the intact face.
The result. The claim closed on our documentation without a second adjuster visit. Half-roof cost, whole-roof look.

Two days on one roof
Dry-in to locked courses
Underlayment down, courses set, edges straight. The slider is the kind of tool your estimator opens on a tablet at the kitchen table — because seeing the stages beats being told about them.
Is it time?
Not every roof needs replacing. Here's what we look for first.
Three things you can check from the ground with binoculars. None of them means climbing up — that part is our job, and a roof walk is how a real answer gets made.
Lifted or missing shingles
Wind gets under the edge courses first. A few tabs on one face is a repair; a scatter across the field is age.
Granules in the gutters
Some loss is normal. Bald patches that catch the light mean the mat is exposed and the clock is running.
Stains on interior ceilings
Water travels before it drips — the stain is rarely under the hole. Repeated stains after storms point at flashing, not shingles.
If a repair is enough, that is what the quote says.
Systems we install
Material, chosen for the weather it meets
Architectural asphalt
The workhorse for most of the bench — handles freeze-thaw well and repairs cleanly.
Tradeoff. Shorter life than metal; color match matters on partial replacements.
Class 4 impact-rated options exist for hail country.
Standing seam metal
Wind corridors and steep pitches. Sheds snow, shrugs off gusts that lift shingle edges.
Tradeoff. Higher upfront cost; a quality install is everything — seams are the system.
Quietest option in rain when decked and insulated properly.
Weathered cedar (maintenance)
We maintain and repair existing cedar on older homes rather than tearing it off.
Tradeoff. Real upkeep. When it goes, most owners transition to asphalt or metal.
Character worth keeping while it lasts.

Where we work
Service area
Serving Pocatello, Chubbuck, Inkom, McCammon, American Falls.
Southeast Idaho weather does not read city limits. If the bench sees it, we roof under it — same crew, same documentation, town to town.
Know what the roof needs before you decide what to spend.
The inspection is the estimate. Photos of every face, a plain-language read, and an itemized number built from what the photos show.
