High-altitude UV, big temperature swings and real snow load mean assemblies rated for a mild climate fail early here.
Most leaks are not the field of the roof. They are penetrations and transitions - step flashing at walls, pipe boots, valleys, chimney counterflashing. A roof can look sound and still leak at a boot that has gone brittle.
A tear-off versus an overlay is not just cost. A second layer hides the decking, so soft sheathing stays buried, and it holds heat that shortens the new shingles' life.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems
- Storm damage documentation for claims

Snowfall averages about 38 inches a year.2,3 With real snow, ask for ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys and for attic ventilation to be checked - ice dams form where warm attics meet cold eaves. Summers bring about 39 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Pocatello are of similar age: median build years 1970 and 1971.1
