Want to see a new roof we installed in the Highlands Neighborhood of Boise?
The Highlands is known for its beautiful views and ideal location close to the Bogus Basin and just a few minutes from downtown Boise. There is very little traffic in the area, and aside from a few golf carts crossing the street, residents of the upscale neighborhood can genuinely enjoy all the amenities Boise has to offer.
In addition to all the enjoyment, some homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have unique architecture that adds so much character. However, when it comes to replacing a roof, the right professional roofing company in Boise Highlands is critical!
About the Highlands:
Established in 1955, the Boise neighborhood Highlands sports an ideal location with countless geographical features, making it an amazing place to live and call home. According to the We Know Boise Blog, the Highlands is ideal for outdoor activities, historic homes along the Crane Creek Golf Course, privacy for homeowners, less crowded streets, and amazing schools.
The Highlands students attending Boise High School have a 99% graduation rate. With such great schools and a fantastic location with so many things to do, it is no wonder that The Highlands is one of the most desired neighborhoods in Boise, Idaho!
In addition to the picturesque views and amazing location, the median home price in The Highlands is encouraging for those looking to own a home that will appreciate over time. Establishing curb appeal and a healthy exterior roof ensures that prices continue to increase. Recently, the team here at Legacy Roofing had the privilege of installing a new roof in The Highlands for a resident with GAF Grand Sequoia Charcoal Designer Shingles. Keep reading as we detail the project below!
Roofer in the Highlands:
Are you looking for a new roof but want to understand the process first? Below, we outline the most recent roof we installed in The Highlands. A complete roofing system goes well beyond the shingles; when replacing a roof, each component needs to be correctly installed. A typical roof system replacement consists of:
- Tearing off the old shingles and underlayment
- Inspecting the condition of the roof decking (plywood)
- Installing the new underlayment
- Adding ice and water/drip shield around the eave and in valleys of the roof
- Add flashing as needed around chimneys or skylights
- Install the new asphalt shingles
- Add ridge vent and pipe collar covers
Similar to how a living organism has multiple components that allow it to survive, your home’s roof needs each component to perform optimally, from the ridge vent that protects against severe weather by allowing for proper drainage to the attic to breathe to adequately installed shingles.
A new roof needs to be budget-friendly and fairly priced, but it is vital to keep in mind that a new roof should be seen as a long-term investment. The goal is to have a quality roof installed and make it the last you ever purchase for your Highlands home.
New Highlands Roof:
We recently installed a beautiful new GAF Roofing System with designed shingles for a home that backed up along the Crane Creek Golf Club. As you will see in the photos below, this new roof turned out absolutely stunning and featured GAF Grand Sequoia Charcoal Designer Shingles with all the goodies.
Grand Sequoia Charcoal Designer Asphalt Shingles offer DuraGrip Adhesive, StainGuard Plus™ Algae Protection Limited Warranty, and the GAF Lifetime† Limited Warranty. These shingles add natural character that matches the scenery around The Highlands, and as you can see, the roof turned out amazing!
