Roof Replacement Boise is a roofing company serving Boise and the Treasure Valley, and metal roofing installation is one of the services we handle most. This page covers what the work involves here specifically — the climate, the code, and what it costs — rather than what it involves in general.
What we do on the first visit
The first visit is an inspection, not a sales call. We walk the roof with you, check the deck from the attic side where we can, count valleys and penetrations, and note the pitch and how much staging or safety equipment the job needs. We confirm whether any prior layers are on the roof already — code allows a maximum of two before a full tear-off is required — and then you get a written per-square price with tear-off and any deck repair as separate lines.
If we think repair is the better spend than replacement, or a different material suits your situation better, we say so on that visit — including when it means the smaller job for us.
What's included
- On-site inspection and a written per-square price before any work starts
- Full tear-off to the deck, with any rotten or delaminated sheathing repaired and priced as its own line
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, rated for use under metal
- Concealed-fastener standing-seam panels installed with the clip spacing that lets the metal expand and contract without buckling
- New step and counter flashing at chimneys, walls, and vents, fitted to the panel system
- Panel color and finish selection suited to the home
- Snow-retention considerations addressed at the design stage where roof pitch and entries require it
- Full site cleanup and haul-away of the old roofing
What this costs in Boise
Metal Roofing Installation runs $850–$1500 per roofing square installed in this area. 2026 published installed pricing for standing-seam metal roofing in the Boise/Treasure Valley area, translated from per-square-foot ranges (instantroofer.com and related sources), reflecting the higher material and labor cost of standing-seam panels.. The things that move a job up its range are tear-off, how much deck repair is needed, pitch, and how many valleys and penetrations your roof has. If you want a number before you call, the roof cost calculator will get you close.
When it needs doing
- Current asphalt shingle roof reaching the end of its service life and weighing whether to upgrade materials
- Visible shingle granule loss, cracking, or curling from years of high-altitude UV exposure
- Planning to stay in the home long-term and wanting to reduce how often the roof gets replaced
- Steep or highly visible roofline where a metal finish is part of the home's design
- Interest in a roofing material built for wide summer-to-winter temperature swings
