What Drives Prices in Boise
- Hard water shortens water heater life to 8–10 years — well below the national 12–15.
- High-desert wind is Boise's real roofing enemy, tearing shingles in spring.
- Older neighborhoods (North End, the Bench) often have aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, adding $500–$2,000 to electrical work.
