Roofing contractor in Twin Falls, ID

Zircon Construction is a general contractor that handles roof replacement, roof repair and the rest of the roofline for homeowners in Twin Falls and nearby towns. We inspect the roof, write up a clear price, schedule a vetted local roofing crew, and stay on the job until it passes our final walkthrough. You have one contract and one person to call.

What’s included in a roofing project

A roof is more than shingles. Water gets in where the pieces meet, so we price and manage the whole roofline together.

• Full roof replacement, including tear-off and haul-away of old roofing
• Leak and storm repairs, including missing or lifted shingles after wind
• Roof inspections with photos and a plain-language summary
• Deck inspection and replacement of soft or rotted sheathing as needed
• Underlayment, ice barrier at eaves and valleys, and drip edge
• Flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights and pipe boots
• Ridge, box or other roof vents, balanced with soffit intake
• Fascia and soffit repair or replacement
• Gutters and downspouts sized to move water away from the foundation
• Daily cleanup and magnetic sweeps for nails

Roofing materials for Magic Valley weather

The right roof here has to handle wind, hail, strong summer sun and a lot of freeze–thaw cycles. The City of Twin Falls lists a 115 mph design wind speed and rates the local weathering risk as “severe” in its residential design criteria. Here’s how the common choices compare.

Architectural asphalt shingles

Architectural (dimensional) shingles are the most common roof in the Magic Valley. They’re thicker than old three-tab shingles and hold up better to wind when installed with the right nailing pattern and starter strips. They’re usually the lowest upfront cost of the options below.

Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles

Class 4 is the top rating under the UL 2218 impact test, where a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from 20 feet onto the shingle without cracking it through. These shingles cost more than standard architectural shingles. Some insurers offer a premium discount for them, so it’s worth asking your agent before you choose. They resist hail better, but no shingle is hail-proof.

Standing-seam metal

Standing-seam panels lock together with raised seams and hidden fasteners. There are no exposed screws to back out as the metal expands and contracts in hot days and cold nights. It sheds snow well and handles wind well, and it costs more than shingles upfront.

Exposed-fastener metal

Exposed-fastener panels (often called ag or R-panel) are screwed through the face of the panel. They cost less than standing seam and are common on shops, barns and some homes. The screws and washers need checking over time, since movement and UV can loosen or wear them.

Signs it’s time to call

• Water stains on ceilings or in the attic, or daylight through roof boards
• Missing, curled, cracked or lifted shingles, especially after a windstorm
• Lots of shingle granules in the gutters or at downspouts
• Dents or bruises on shingles, vents and gutters after hail
• Soft spots when walking the roof, or a sagging roofline
• Peeling or rotted fascia, or gutters pulling away from the house
• Ice dams or long icicles along the eaves in winter, which often point to ventilation or insulation problems
• Loose screws or rust at fasteners on a metal roof

Storm damage and insurance claims

If wind or hail damaged your roof, we can help with the claim process. We inspect the roof, take dated photos, and write up the damage and the repair scope. With your permission, we’ll meet your adjuster on site and walk the roof with them.

To be clear about what we don’t do: we don’t decide your claim, and we can’t promise what your insurer will pay. Coverage, deductibles and depreciation are between you and your insurance company. What we can do is make sure the damage is documented well and that the repair scope matches what the roof actually needs.

How a roofing project runs with Zircon

You won’t be the one calling the roofer, the gutter installer and the dumpster company. We handle the scheduling and keep you updated.

1. Inspection. We look at the roof, attic and roofline, take photos and talk through your options.
2. Written estimate. You get a line-by-line price and scope. If the decking turns out to be rotten, the estimate explains how that’s priced before work starts.
3. Scheduling and permits. We book a vetted roofing crew and order materials. Inside Twin Falls city limits, a straight reroof doesn’t need a building permit, but structural changes do; outside the city, the county or your town’s building department sets the rules. We check and pull any permit the job needs.
4. The work. We keep an eye on the job, check flashing and ventilation details, and handle any surprises with a written change order.
5. Final walkthrough. We walk the finished roof and the yard with you before we call it done.

1. Tell us about the project

   Call or send the estimate form. We'll ask a few questions and set a time to come look.

2. On-site visit and written estimate

   We measure, talk through options, and send you an itemized price in writing. No pressure, no surprise add-ons.

3. We schedule and manage the crews

   We book vetted local trade partners, order materials, handle permits, and check the work as it goes. You deal with one person.

4. Final walkthrough

   We walk the finished job with you and take care of anything on the punch list before we call it done.

What affects the price of a roof

Every roof is priced after an inspection. These are the things that move the number most:

• Size and pitch. More squares and steeper roofs take more material and labor, and steep roofs need extra safety setup.
• Material. Standard architectural shingles cost less than Class 4 shingles; metal costs more still.
• Layers to tear off. Removing two layers costs more than one.
• Decking condition. Rotted or damaged sheathing has to be replaced, and you often can’t see it until the old roof is off.
• Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys and walls all need flashing work.
• Roofline work. New gutters, fascia, soffit and added ventilation add to the scope.
• Access and timing. Tight lots, detached buildings and busy storm seasons can affect cost and scheduling.
