About Pocatello Premium Roofing: Licensed Roofing Pros in ID
We work on a particular kind of building. Pocatello grew as a division point and shop town on the Oregon Short Line, which means its housing filled in decades earlier than the fast-growing parts of Idaho, and the roofs reflect it. Milled plank decking, spaced sheathing under old wood-shingle roofs, boxed cornices with no intake, and abandoned masonry stacks left over from coal heat.
That shapes how we estimate. A satellite measurement and a drive-by give you a square count and nothing else, and on this stock the square count is the easy half. We open the roof, count the coverings, identify the deck and photograph it, then price the job with the deck work broken out as its own auditable line rather than folded into a number nobody can check.
Some work we decline outright. Coating a residential shingle roof is off the table, so is tile on framing never designed to carry it unless an engineer has reviewed it, and we will not sign a remaining-life certificate on a seventy-year-old roof we have not opened. If you want a company that will say yes to all three, there are some, and we would rather you knew that now.
If you have a roofing project in Pocatello, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

Credentials
- License: Two things govern us and they are not the same thing. Idaho registers contractors through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses under Title 54, chapter 52 - no trade exam, no state bond, so that number proves insurance and identity rather than skill. The City of Pocatello goes further and issues its own building contractor license out of the Building Department at 911 N 7th Avenue. Ask any roofer for both numbers.
- Insurance: General liability written at or above the $300,000 single limit the state application demands, plus an Idaho workers' compensation certificate. Both come straight from the carrier; neither gets photocopied in our office. Pocatello's own Class B license also requires a $10,000 license and permit bond with the City named as an additional insured.
- Association: Building Contractors Association of Southeast Idaho, the Pocatello trade body that has represented builders here since 1979. Where a manufacturer's printed instructions run out, we build the detail the way the NRCA manual draws it.
- Warranty: a written workmanship warranty that lists deck work as its own line, separate from the covering
How Pocatello Premium Roofing works
How a job with Pocatello Premium Roofing runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty that lists deck work as its own line, separate from the covering backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Pocatello.
Where Pocatello Premium Roofing works and who we work with

Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Portneuf Valley. Start with the Pocatello services, the Pocatello Premium Roofing homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Pocatello Chooses Pocatello Premium Roofing
- ✓We open the roof before we price it. Two or three test squares through to the structure turn the biggest unknown on an older house into a number you can read.
- ✓Deck work is a separate line with a per-sheet rate and a not-to-exceed count, so the figure cannot quietly grow between the handshake and the final invoice.
- ✓Attic first, roof second. Deck species, stain age, fastener rust and whether the eave has any intake at all are all questions answered faster from underneath.
- ✓We recommend against our own products in writing. Coatings on residential shingles, tile on unreviewed framing and metal on a small roof needing a full overlay all get argued down.
- ✓Fastening schedules are set to the deck we actually found, not to a default. Longer ring-shank nails and six per shingle where the roof sits on milled plank.
- ✓Ventilation gets solved at the eave rather than the ridge, because cutting a ridge vent into a house with no intake pulls conditioned air out of the rooms below.
What Pocatello Customers Say
They cut two squares in the roof before quoting and showed me the boards underneath. Nobody else did that. The final bill matched the estimate because the sheet count was already capped.
Called about a ceiling stain expecting to hear I needed a new roof. Got a split pipe boot replaced instead and a report telling me the covering had years left. That is rare.
Our 1951 house had no soffit vents at all. They put intake in at the fascia line instead of just cutting a ridge vent and explained exactly why the cheaper version would have made it worse.
Talked me out of a coating on the house and did one on the shop roof instead, which is where it actually belonged. Straight answers and the crew cleaned up every night.
