2. Total Project Cost by Home Footprint in Kootenai County
Your roof footprint is larger than your home interior square footage due to roof pitch, eaves, and garage overhangs. Here is what typical projects cost from tear-off to final magnetic clean-up:
| Home Style & Floor Area | Estimated Roof Area | Architectural Shingles | Standing Seam Metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Story Ranch (1,500 sq ft) | 18–20 Squares | $7,800 – $11,500 | $19,800 – $28,000 |
| Standard 2-Story (2,400 sq ft) | 26–30 Squares | $11,500 – $17,500 | $28,500 – $42,000 |
| Custom Mountain Home (3,500+ sq ft) | 40–50+ Squares | $18,000 – $29,000 | $44,000 – $72,000 |
3. The 4 Big Factors That Move Your Roofing Price in North Idaho
Walkable pitches (4/12 to 6/12) install fastest. Steep roofs (8/12 to 12/12+) require harness anchors, stage scaffolding, and safety gear, adding 15% to 25% to labor costs.
Stripping one layer costs $75 to $110 per square. If a home has two previous layers or damaged plywood decking requiring sheet replacement, labor and disposal weight increase accordingly.
Basic code mandates 3 feet of eave membrane. Because 24" overhangs allow freeze damming past the wall line, American Made Construction installs two full courses (6 feet) of self-adhering SBS membrane.
Re-using old rusted flashings leads to early failure. We bend custom 26-gauge pre-painted metal valley pans and step flashings with soldiered seams around every chimney saddle.
