Kellogg homes built during the mining boom often carry steep pitches and multiple layers from previous repairs, which complicates tear-offs. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that push ice under flashing at valleys and around the Bunker Hill Mine site chimneys. We remove existing layers down to the deck, install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, then match new underlayment to the existing rafter spacing common in Wallace and Osburn houses.
Metal panels hold up best against the heavy snow that slides off roofs near Silver Mountain Resort, while asphalt shingles work on milder pitches found closer to Kellogg City Park. We always check for rot at the eaves where meltwater pools during mild summers. Proper ventilation is added to prevent moisture buildup in the tight attics typical of 1920s–1950s Shoshone County construction.

Wind-driven snow around Osburn requires step flashing at every sidewall and cricket installation behind chimneys. We haul debris the same day to keep the job site clear of nails before the next snowfall. Every replacement includes new ridge vent sized to the roof square footage so the home breathes through the long winter months.
Technician insight
In Kellogg the thing that catches most people out with roof replacement is the hidden second and third layers on 1940s homes around the old mine site; once we start tearing off, the deck often needs more work than expected because of decades of ice dam leaks.
Ice Dam Damage on a Kellogg Home
A homeowner near Kellogg City Park called after repeated ice dams caused leaks into the living room. We found three layers of shingles and rotted decking along the north eaves. We removed everything to the rafters, installed full ice-and-water shield, added ridge vent, and replaced with architectural shingles rated for snow. No leaks appeared the following winter.
