Roof Replacement in Meridian, Idaho

Meridian housing stock and what it means for roofing

Meridian's housing stock is unusual. The city more than doubled in population between 2000 and 2020. That means most of the homes you see were built in that 20-year window, often as part of large subdivisions. Most of them have the same builder-grade three-tab or basic architectural shingles that came standard at construction. Those shingles were rated for 20 to 25 years. Most of them are now 18 to 25 years old.

​

Practically, this means there are entire Meridian neighborhoods where every house on the block needs a roof in the next five years. We are replacing roofs in Paramount, Bridgetower, Lochsa Falls, The Spurwing, Movado, Bainbridge, and the rest of the city's major subdivisions every week.

​

What is different about Meridian replacement work

Most Meridian roofs are simpler than older Boise homes. Pitches are moderate (typically 4/12 to 7/12), architecture is consistent within a subdivision, and access is usually easy. This is good news for you because it keeps the labor portion of the job manageable.

​

The most common factor that pushes a Meridian replacement up in price is multiple layers. A surprising number of Meridian homes had the original roof covered over once by a previous owner instead of replaced properly. We find a double or triple layer underneath and the tear-off takes longer. We will flag this during the estimate so there are no surprises.

​

Decking quality varies a lot in Meridian. Some builders used premium OSB or plywood. Others used the cheapest sheathing they could find. If we find soft, delaminated, or rotted decking after tear-off, we replace it before the new roof goes on. Code requires it. We bill it per sheet so you only pay for what gets replaced.

​

Materials we install most in Meridian

Architectural asphalt shingles are the standard. Warranties run 30 to 50 years.

​

Class 3 impact-resistant shingles are growing fast in Meridian because Idaho carriers (State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, American Family, USAA) offer premium discounts of 10 to 35 percent for installing them. The upgrade often pays for itself in insurance savings.

​

We will also install standing seam metal if that is what you want. It runs higher up front but lasts 50 plus years and gives the modern look a lot of newer Meridian homes pair well with.

​

What the replacement process looks like

A typical Meridian roof replacement takes one to two days. Tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, flashing, shingles, ridge cap, cleanup. We pull a permit with the city of Meridian for every replacement and schedule the final inspection for you. Our crew arrives between 7 and 8 AM on day one and works until the job is done.

 

We protect your landscaping with tarps, run roof magnets across the yard and driveway at the end of every day to pick up nails, and haul off all old materials. When we leave, the only sign we were there is the new roof.
