Storm Damage Isn't |Always Obvious|
Peak Roofing is an owner-operated roofing contractor working across Caldwell and Canyon County. The company was founded in 2017 and built its name on word of mouth. It was already a trusted name here when Mike took it over. He brought more than 10 years of hands-on experience with him.
Caldwell has a quirk in its permit rules that works in your favour on a normal job and against you on an insurance claim. Most homeowners here have never had reason to think about it.
We inspect, we photograph, and we tell you honestly what we find. Sometimes that means your roof came through fine. Read our story
After a Storm: |What to Do First|
Record when it happened
Insurers work from a date of loss, so write it down while it is fresh.
Photograph the roof yourself before anyone touches it
In Caldwell that matters more than most places.
Book an inspection
We get on the roof, photograph anything worth flagging, and hand you a written condition report.
Active water is a phone call (208) 724-9315
Not a contact form. We move leak calls up the list. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm.
Start at ground level
A perimeter walk tells you a lot. Look at the eaves for granules and across the yard for shingles, and take pictures.
What Storm
|Damage Looks Like|
A tear-off needs no permit in Caldwell, so no inspector will ever see what the storm did.
Bruises from hail
Press a hail strike and it gives, like fruit. The granules are gone and the mat underneath is damaged.
Read the gutters
Granule build-up after hail tells you the roof took hits, even if it looks untouched from below.
Read the soft metal too
Gutters, downspouts, Vent caps and air conditioning fins dent long before shingles do, and they show which way the storm came from.
The shingle that looks fine
Wind lifts it, folds it back, and sets it down again. The mat inside is broken and the seal will never re-bond. This is the damage people miss.
Gone from the edges first
Rakes and eaves lose shingles before the middle of a roof does, which is why damage often sits on one slope you cannot see.
Insurance Claims: |How We Help|
Not being named in a warning is not a finding.
Some Eagle homeowners will have skipped a claim because their town was missing from a warning list. Warnings sample locations inside a polygon rather than listing every community affected, so the roof is the only thing that answers the question.
What an inspection gives you.
Photographs, a dated written report, and someone present when the adjuster walks it. That report is useful even if you never file, because it fixes the roof's condition to a date.
What we leave alone.
Approval decisions, payout figures, and the filing itself. Those sit with you and your carrier.
If the repair comes in under your deductible we will tell you a claim is not worth the effort. And covering a deductible is a serious problem in most places, so it is not something we offer.
Warranties
|and the Peak Promise|
The workmanship is backed and the materials carry their maker’s warranty. We set both out before starting.
The Peak Promise describes how we handle it when something needs attention later.
It matters more here than most places. With no permit record on an exempt tear-off, our written scope and our backing are the only things standing behind the work.
Peak Roofing is licensed, bonded, and insured under Idaho registration #4071991.
Storm Damage
|in Caldwell|
In Caldwell, a straight tear-off doesn’t need a permit. That’s convenient, and on a claim it’s a gap.
Under the city’s code, a re-roof doesn’t require a permit when the new roofing isn’t going over an existing layer. So tear the old roof off, put one new layer on, and the city isn’t involved.
For a routine replacement that’s a genuine convenience. After storm damage it means something else. No permit means no municipal record. No inspection on file, no dated document showing what was found under the old shingles, nothing an adjuster can look up later.
Which makes the contractor’s own paperwork the only independent record you’ll have. Photographs of the damage before anything is touched. A written condition report with a date on it. A scope that says what was replaced and why. If your claim gets questioned six months on, that’s what you’ll be pointing at.
We produce all of it as a matter of course, and you should expect it from anyone. A crew that won’t hand you photographs and a written report has left you with nothing to argue with.
Take your own pictures too. They cost nothing.
If your home is in the historic district, there’s an extra step. Exterior work in Caldwell’s historic district can require a certificate of appropriateness, which is a separate process from a building permit and applies whether or not one is needed. After a storm that affects material and colour choices, it adds time. The district is easy to miss if you are not looking for it. We’ll flag it at the inspection if it applies to you.
Caldwell’s design numbers. The city publishes a 20 pound per square foot ground snow load and a 25 psf minimum on the roof, with a 90 mph design wind speed, which is the same standard as the 115 mph ultimate figure in the code tables. That’s what a sound roof here is built to take. A gust in the sixties won’t lift a healthy roof, but it will finish shingles already near the end.
The storm on record. On May 28, 2026, the Treasure Valley saw one of the strongest May wind events ever measured here, with gusts into the seventies logged across the area. No reading was recorded specifically in Caldwell, so nobody can tell you exactly what hit your street. What we can do is get on the roof and tell you what’s up there now.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Caldwell?
Not always, and Caldwell is unusual that way. Under the city’s code, a re-roof doesn’t require a permit when the new roofing isn’t going over an existing layer, so a full tear-off and single new layer is generally exempt. An overlay does need one. We’ll confirm what applies to your roof, and Caldwell Development Services handles permitting.
Should I just roof over the old one to keep it simple?
We wouldn’t. An overlay hides whatever is wrong underneath, adds weight the structure wasn’t designed for, and shortens the life of the new shingles. A tear-off costs more up front and is the right call almost every time.
Can I really price my roof online without a visit?
Do you repair roofs in Caldwell, or only replace them?
Both. Plenty of Caldwell roofs need a repair rather than a replacement, and we’d rather do the repair and earn the bigger job later. Repair estimates are free.
My house is in the historic district. Does that change anything?
