We are a veteran-owned roofing company registered with the Idaho Contractors Board (RCE-66571) and GAF-certified, working from our office at 9201 W State St #127, Boise, ID 83714. We inspect homes in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle and the surrounding communities, and fall is the time to book one: it catches summer sun damage before snow and freezing nights arrive.
Boise is dry but hard on roofs. According to the National Weather Service Boise climate report (1991–2020 normals), Boise averages about 11.5 inches of precipitation a year, roughly 108 nights at or below freezing, and about 55 days a year at 90°F or hotter. That swing from summer heat and UV to freezing winter nights, plus thunderstorm wind and occasional hail, is what wears shingles, sealants and pipe boots out. Regular inspections catch that damage before it becomes an interior leak, a rotted deck or an early replacement. We recommend an inspection every spring and fall and after any major storm. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors publishes standards of practice for roof inspections that describe what a thorough inspection should cover.
We do not send a salesperson with a clipboard. Our inspectors are roofers who know what to look for, how to document it, and how to explain what we find in plain language. You can see examples of our work in our project gallery. Every inspection covers:
For homeowners, a professional inspection answers the questions that matter most. How much life is left on the roof? Is that stain on the ceiling a leak or something else? Will the roof pass the buyer’s inspection when you sell? Should you file an insurance claim after the last storm?
We inspect homes across the Treasure Valley, from starter homes in Nampa to custom builds in the Boise Foothills, and we focus on asphalt shingle and metal roofs. The inspection is free with no obligation, and the report is yours to keep whether you choose us for the repair work or not.
Homeowners often schedule inspections in specific situations:
Our full residential roofing services are ready to handle whatever the inspection uncovers.
We also inspect sloped asphalt shingle and metal roofs on commercial buildings, with the same photo report and written findings for property management, insurance and warranty files. See our commercial roofing page for details.
When severe weather hits the Treasure Valley, the damage is not always obvious from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles without cracking them, wind can break the seal between shingles without ripping them off, and driving rain can force water where normal weather never reaches. That damage shortens roof life and may be covered by your policy, so it needs to be found and photographed. After a storm in Boise, our Boise storm damage repair page lists what to do first, and our storm damage roofing inspectors look for:
If you file a claim, our insurance claims assistance covers the roofing side: we meet your adjuster on the roof to show what we documented. Idaho law reserves negotiating the settlement for licensed public adjusters, so the settlement stays between you and your insurer.
Book your roof inspection in the fall. Boise averages about 108 nights at or below freezing a year, according to the National Weather Service Boise climate report, and every freeze-thaw cycle works water into small gaps. A fall inspection finds them before snow sits on the roof. Before winter, we check:
Winter savings: sign for your roof work before February 28 and save up to 10%, and military and senior customers save 10%. Ask about both when you book your free inspection. For what your insurance does and does not cover after a heavy snow, read our guide to home insurance and snow damage.
Different problems show up at different ages. This table shows what we commonly find on asphalt shingle roofs across Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell.
Roof Age | Most Common Issues Found | Typical Cause |
0 to 5 years | Improper flashing details, missed nail sealing | Poor original installation |
5 to 10 years | Cracked pipe boots, lifted ridge caps | UV exposure and wind cycling |
10 to 15 years | Granule loss, failed sealant at flashings, minor leaks | Weathering and sealant breakdown |
15 to 20 years | Widespread granule loss, shingle curling, rusted flashing | Material fatigue and UV damage |
20+ years | Brittle shingles, decking issues, structural concerns | End of service life |
Any age (post-storm) | Hail bruising, wind-lifted shingles, impact damage | Severe weather event |
The inspection report is the starting point. If the roof is in good shape, you get peace of mind and a baseline for future inspections. If repairs are needed, we provide a written estimate for the recommended work, including roof repair, roof maintenance, or specific services like leak detection and missing shingle replacement.
If replacement is the right call, we walk you through the options for roof replacement, explain the differences between shingle grades, and provide a detailed quote; Boise reroofs are permitted on the city’s application 428, which we file for you. We also offer financing for larger projects. You are never pressured into work you do not need, and the inspection report is yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Answer a few questions about your roof to see whether it sounds like a repair or a replacement. A free inspection gives you the real answer, with photos.
This is general guidance, not an inspection. Typical life estimates used here: about 20 years for 3-tab asphalt shingles, about 25 years for architectural shingles (the useful life the Idaho Department of Insurance uses in its example), 40 years or more for metal, and 50 years or more for concrete and clay tile. Flat roofs vary too much by membrane to judge by age. Ventilation, installation quality and storms can shorten or stretch any roof's life.

Kings Roofing & Contracting LLC offers free, no-obligation roof inspections in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell and Eagle from its office at 9201 W State St in Boise.

A standard residential roof inspection from Kings Roofing & Contracting LLC is free, with no obligation to hire us for any follow-up work. It includes the roof walk, attic check where accessible, photo documentation and a written report. If repairs are needed, you get a written estimate before any work starts.
A typical residential roof inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size, pitch and layout of the roof. We walk the roof when it is safe, check flashing, pipe boots, valleys, ridges, eaves and gutters, inspect the attic where there is access, and photograph every issue. You receive a written report covering current condition, immediate concerns, items to monitor, estimated remaining roof life and cost estimates for any recommended work.
We recommend two inspections a year for asphalt shingle roofs in the Treasure Valley, in spring and fall. Spring catches winter damage before summer UV makes it worse, and fall catches summer wear before snow and freezing nights arrive. Roofs should also be inspected after any major hail, wind or heavy snow event, and before buying or selling a home.
Yes. Boise averages about 108 nights at or below freezing a year, according to the National Weather Service Boise climate report, and freeze-thaw cycles work water into cracked pipe boots, loose flashing and lifted shingles. A fall inspection finds those gaps before snow sits on the roof, and it checks the gutters, insulation and attic ventilation that lead to ice dams. Sign for any roof work before February 28 and you can save up to 10%.
A ground-level check with binoculars can tell you whether shingles are obviously missing or damaged, but most roof problems are not visible from the ground. Cracked pipe boots, failed sealant, broken shingle seals, soft decking and early hail damage need someone walking the roof. Climbing your own roof is also dangerous without proper equipment, and a fall from a two-story home can be serious or fatal.
It gives your adjuster evidence to review. We photograph every instance of hail, wind or debris damage, note where it is on the roof, and provide a written report you can add to your claim file. Your insurer decides what the policy covers, and Idaho law reserves negotiating the settlement for licensed public adjusters, so our insurance claims assistance stays on the roofing side: the documentation and a meeting with your adjuster on the roof.
A general home inspection covers dozens of systems, so the roof portion is usually brief, and home inspectors often look at the roof from the ground or a ladder at the eaves. A dedicated roof inspection from a registered roofing contractor covers the whole roof surface, every flashing detail and the attic space underneath. If you are buying a home in Boise with a roof over 10 years old, a dedicated roof inspection is worth scheduling.
A roof inspection gives you an answer based on what is actually on the roof: its age, how widespread granule loss and curling are, how many past repairs it has had, and whether the decking is soft or sagging. If several of those show up across the roof, replacement is usually the better investment; if the problems are limited to one area, a targeted repair often adds years. Try the Repair or Replace Roof Check on this page for a quick first read.
