About North Star Roofing in North Idaho

North Star Roofing is an owner-operated roofing company serving North Idaho, founded in spring 2023 by an owner whose roofing education started long before the business did. Growing up working alongside his father—who owns and operates a commercial roofing business—the owner built practical, hands-on knowledge of roofing systems before ever running a job site of his own.



That background shapes how every project is approached. Rather than learning on the job at your expense, the owner came to residential roofing with years of training already behind him. That distinction matters when someone is making decisions about your roof.

North Star Roofing installs IKO, Owens Corning, and GAF shingles—established manufacturers with documented performance data and warranty programs. Metal roofing materials are sourced locally through Ibex, a supplier based in Bonners Ferry. Keeping the supply chain local means tighter quality control and a connection to the regional market that large national contractors often skip.

From Logging to Roofing—How North Star Roofing Got Started in North Idaho

Before starting this business, the owner spent three years in logging. When he was ready for a change, his father—drawing on decades in commercial roofing—told him plainly: there's plenty of work out there for roofers who do the job right. That conversation led directly to North Star Roofing. The first year was intentionally measured, with a handful of residential projects. Year two brought nearly double the work as the reputation built.

North Idaho's climate—with its cold winters, significant snowfall, and seasonal moisture—puts real demands on roofing systems. Understanding how those conditions affect materials and installation isn't something learned from a manual; it comes from working in the region and knowing what holds up over time.

Because this is an owner-operated business, the person you speak with before the job is the same person on your roof. There's no hand-off to a crew you've never met. That structure keeps accountability direct and communication simple.

The owner also volunteers alongside his father on large commercial roofing projects and works collaboratively with local builders and contractors throughout the area—relationships that reflect a genuine investment in the North Idaho trades community.

What to Expect When You Work with North Star Roofing

Job site cleanliness is something the owner talks about directly and takes seriously. In his own words: "We like to keep our job sites real clean. After a day we pick up all the trash... we pick up nails, just stuff like that." That means at the end of each workday, materials are returned to the job site trailer, debris is cleared, and your property is left orderly. It's a standard that not every roofing contractor holds—and one that's easy to verify by simply watching how a crew operates.

That same attention carries into how the work itself is conducted—professionally, respectfully, and without leaving behind the kind of mess that turns a roofing project into a weeks-long frustration for homeowners.
