What people ask us
How much does a roof replacement cost?
Re-roof cost depends on roof size, shape, material and how many layers need to come off. In the U.S., many asphalt shingle roofs fall between $5,000 and $15,000, and metal or tile cost more. Older homes can add cost if the wood under the roof is rotted. Ask the provider for a written quote that lists every item, so you can compare.
How do I choose a roofing company?
Ask the provider to show proof of license and insurance where your state requires them. Ask how long the work takes and what the warranty covers. Get the answers in writing. A good roofing company will inspect the roof first, then give you a clear price. Be careful with anyone who pushes you to sign fast or asks for all the money up front.
What does Coeur d'Alene Roof Replacement do, and who does the work?
Coeur d'Alene Roof Replacement is a referral service. We do not install roofs. We connect you with an independent provider in our network who serves your area. That provider inspects your roof, explains the options and gives you a written price. You decide if you want to move forward. Sending a request carries no obligation, and you can say no at any time.
Why is replacing the roof on an older home different?
Older houses often have worn decking, which is the wood boards under the shingles. They may also have several layers of old shingles and past patches that hide leaks. A roofer may find these problems only after the old roof comes off. Ask the provider how they handle surprises and how a change in price would be agreed before work continues.
Do I need a new roof after a hail or snow storm?
Not always. Hail can crack shingles, knock off the gritty top layer and dent metal. Heavy snow and a fast spring melt can also stress an older roof. A provider can inspect the damage and tell you if a repair or a new roof makes sense. If you only need a small repair, use the request form and say so.
Will insurance pay for my new roof?
It depends on your policy. Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a hail storm, but wear and age are often not covered. Read your policy or ask your agent before work starts. Providers can often help document damage with photos and notes for a claim. The final decision is made by your insurer, not by the provider or Coeur d'Alene Roof Replacement.
Can I replace my roof myself?
Most people should not. Roofing means working at height, carrying heavy bundles and cutting into the structure of your home. A mistake can cause leaks that show up months later. Some local rules also require a permit or a licensed worker. If you want to save money, ask providers to explain what is in their price and which choices can change the total.
Is it safe to stay in the house during a re-roof?
Usually yes, but expect noise, dust and vibration. Things can fall from ceilings in an older home, so take pictures off walls and cover items in the attic. Keep kids and pets away from the yard, since nails and debris land there. Ask the provider how they protect your yard, and where they will park and stage materials.
