Hail and wind damage repair in Star starts from $149; a full replacement runs $7,200 to $13,400 for a typical 2,300 square foot home. Star's open plain sits on the storm track that produced Canyon County's June 2026 disaster declaration just downstream, and wind creasing is what claims document. Your roof is measured from aerial LiDAR and county imagery; a local pro documents the damage on site before any claim.

Star's position on the open plain between the Boise River and the foothills leaves it exposed to the west-to-east storm track that produced the June 2026 Canyon County disaster declaration just downstream. Wind is the recurring threat: gusts crease and lift shingles on the broad, unsheltered rooflines of newer subdivisions.
Star more than tripled in population after 2010, and its housing stock is correspondingly young: large 2010s-2020s single-family homes on generous lots, roofed almost uniformly in architectural asphalt. Most Star roofs have never been replaced - the market there is storm repair, inspection, and the first big replacement wave now approaching for the earliest builds.
Star's roofs are young and unsheltered, which shapes what a storm does to them. Most of the city went up after 2010 in large architectural-asphalt roofs on open lots, so there is no aging field of shingles to fail wholesale; instead the northwesterly and storm-track winds crease tabs and lift edges on the broad windward faces, and the first sign is often a ridge cap missing after a gust. Storms tracking northeast from Oregon cross Star before Eagle and Boise, and the granule loss already showing on south- and west-facing slopes from the mid-2000s building boom means wind-driven hail takes more off those faces than off a fresh roof.
For most Star homes the answer after a storm is a repair from $149: a ridge cap, a few creased tabs, a resealed edge on a roof with decades left. The first replacement wave is only now approaching for the earliest builds along Star Road and the Linder corridor, and on those roofs a storm that creases several slopes can tip the decision. A typical 2,300 square foot Star home replaces for $7,200 to $13,400.
Either way the estimator gives you the measured roof, measured from aerial LiDAR and county imagery, and an itemized estimate to put beside the adjuster's figure.
Star straddles the Ada and Canyon County line, so the first thing to settle is which county's adjusters and which permitting office apply to your parcel; the City of Star's building program permits reroofs inside city limits. Document the storm date, photograph each slope from the ground, and get a rooftop inspection before the adjuster, because a creased tab reads as an intact roof from below and as a failed seal from above.
Idaho registers general contractors rather than licensing them; check that the roofer who documents your damage is registered with the state, and never sign an assignment of benefits at the door.
