Idaho weather is unpredictable, but your roof doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re in Boise or up north in Coeur d’Alene, you know how quickly the weather can change. One moment it’s sunny and 75—then suddenly, the skies open up with heavy rain, howling winds, or a surprise hailstorm barreling in.
Your roof plays a vital role in protecting your home from all that chaos. If it’s been a while since someone took a good look at your roof, now’s a good time to check in. Springtime is the perfect time to get roof repairs or a new roof before the summer storms kick in
What Idaho Storms Can Do to Your Roof
Across Idaho, from the neighborhoods of the Treasure Valley to homes nestled in the pines near Coeur d’Alene, roofs face a variety of challenges during the warmer months. The unpredictable weather can bring high winds that tear off shingles or loosen flashing, leaving your roof vulnerable. Heavy rains often find their way into even the smallest weak spots, causing leaks inside your home that can lead to costly damage. Sudden hailstorms, although brief, can leave dents in metal parts of your roof and crack shingles, compromising their ability to protect your home. Additionally, the UV exposure from the summer sun can dry out roofing materials, weakening them and breaking down seals that keep moisture out.
Even a seemingly small issue like a single lifted shingle or a section of rusted flashing can turn into a much bigger problem if it’s not addressed before the next storm rolls in. It’s important to get ahead of these risks before they escalate.
Signs Your Roof Might Not Be Ready
If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut. Keep an eye out for common warning signs that could indicate roofing issues, like:
- Shingles that are curled, cracked, or missing
- Water stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls
- Shingle granules collecting in gutters or downspouts
- Flashing that’s bent, rusted, or pulling away from chimneys or vents
- Moss or algae growth, especially in shaded areas
If you notice any of these signs or if it’s been a while since your last roof inspection, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional checkup before the storms roll in.
