$150 to $400 (about 0.1 to 0.26 weeks of Boise's $81,308 median household income) for a standard visit, $200 to $500 with a drone. We show the national band because the city hub does not index it.
Is an inspection worth the money against a Boise re-roof at $11,500?
A standard visit equals 1.3% to 3.5% of the typical asphalt re-roof, and in Boise a report that finds a flashing leak early can save the decking.
How often should I inspect my roof in Boise?
Every 2 to 3 years, and every year once the roof passes 15 years. Ten yearly checks cost $1,500 to $4,000 (about 0.96 to 2.6 weeks of Boise's $81,308 median household income); ten years on the longer rhythm cost $600 to $1,600.
Does a drone inspection cost more in Boise?
Yes, by $50 to $100 (about 0.03 to 0.06 weeks of Boise's $81,308 median household income) at the two ends of the band: $200 to $500 against $150 to $400 for a standard visit. A drone helps on steep or tall Boise roofs; on a low-slope ranch a standard walk-over is often enough.
How old is the typical roof in Boise?
We do not have roof ages, only home ages. The median home in Boise was built in 1985, which is 41 years ago, and 42.6% of homes predate 1980. A roof that was never replaced is past the yearly-check mark.
