(208) 858-8078 Call for a Free EstimateFlat roof repair in Meridian fixes open seams, punctures, failed flashing and ponding water on the low-slope membrane roofs of homes and commercial buildings.
A flat roof is not shingled. It is a single sheet of TPO, PVC or EPDM, or layers of modified bitumen, laid over tapered insulation and closed with welded terminations at the edges. When a seam, a puncture or an edge lets go, water gets under the membrane and into the insulation, so the stain inside can show up well away from the opening.
What we repair
We repair TPO, EPDM, PVC and modified bitumen membranes, from open seams and punctures to failed edge flashing and clogged drains.
These are the membranes makers such as Carlisle supply as the commercial roofing standards, so the patch material matches the roof it goes into.
Call for a Free EstimateThese are the membranes we work on and the failures we fix on them:
"TPO" is the white single-ply membrane, heat-welded at every seam, and PVC welds the same way. Standard commercial TPO is 45-mil; 60- and 80-mil sheets go where foot traffic is heavy.
"EPDM" is the rubber roof, laid ballasted, fastened or fully adhered. The EPDM Roofing Association is the trade body for this membrane and its long-term performance.
"Modified bitumen", the torch-down or rolled roofing, is a layered asphalt membrane made for low-slope roofs that people walk on.
Seams and the welded terminations at the roof edge are where a membrane tends to open up. We reweld or patch the seam and reset the edge flashing.
A dropped tool, foot traffic or hail can punch through a membrane. We cut out the damaged piece and the wet insulation under it, then patch new membrane in.
"Ponding water" is water still standing on the roof days after the rain stops. We clear the drain and find the low spot that holds it, because the puddle is wearing out the membrane under it.
What it costs
A flat roof repair is priced by the membrane, the size of the damaged area and whether wet insulation has to come out and be replaced.
Here is how each one moves the number:
We put your number in writing after the roof walk, and we quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

From the call to a sealed roof
We find the wet areas, cut out the damaged membrane and insulation, patch or weld new membrane in and test every seam before we leave.
A flat roof repair runs in these four steps.
We walk the roof and map where water got under the membrane. Thermal imaging finds hidden moisture in a roof without cutting into it, so we know the size of the job before we quote it.
The damaged membrane and any wet insulation under it come out, back to dry, sound material, so no water gets sealed in under the new patch.
New membrane goes in to match the roof: heat-welded on TPO and PVC, adhered on EPDM, layered on modified bitumen, with welded terminations at the edges.
We check every new seam along its full length before we call it done, and we clean up when the work is done.
We show up when we say we will.
From a neighbor
Michael did a great job for us. Met him randomly because he bought something from me on FB Marketplace, and then we got talking. Soon enough we were walking around on my roof and he gave me a very competitive quote. He was super professional and the roof is done right. I feel lucky to have found him!

Where we work
We do flat roof repair across Meridian, Idaho, and the nearby towns our service area lists, on homes and businesses alike.
Low-slope roofs turn up on shops, offices and warehouses as often as on houses, and we repair both. A job outside our footprint is a question for the call.
Service Area Around MeridianMeridian and the towns around it
The questions below sit right next to flat roof repair, and the coating answer points to the page that covers it in full.
Ponding water degrades the membrane and adds about five pounds per square foot of load for every inch of depth. Water still sitting there days after a storm means the roof is holding it, and the fix is the low spot or the drain, not only the membrane on top.
A coating on a sound commercial flat roof can add 10 to 15 years of service life for roughly 50 to 70 percent of the cost of a full replacement. A coating does not close an open seam or dry wet insulation, so those get repaired first.

Short answers to what Meridian owners ask us most about a leaking flat roof. The rest we answer on the phone.
Call Idahome Grown RoofingThe best repair uses the roof's own membrane: new TPO or PVC heat-welded over a failed seam, EPDM on an EPDM roof, and modified bitumen layered into modified bitumen. Any wet insulation under the damage comes out first, or the patch seals the water in.
In Meridian, a flat roof repair typically runs $219 to $1,649. Where yours falls depends on the membrane, the size of the damaged area and whether wet insulation or decking has to be replaced, the price factors our roof cost guide covers in full. The estimate is free, and we quote the whole job before we start.
Put back the membrane that failed: a welded or adhered patch of the same material over the opening, with the wet insulation cut out underneath. A coating can add years to a sound flat roof, but it goes on after the leaks are repaired, not instead of the repair.
