What a replacement is

Roof Replacement in Meridian for Homes and Businesses

Roof replacement in Meridian takes the old roof off down to the deck, repairs the decking and installs a complete new roof system, on homes and on commercial buildings.

That first step is the "tear-off": the old shingles and the underlayment under them come off together, so we can see the wood deck and fix what is soft before anything new goes on. Seeing the bare deck is the point: soft or rotten sheets get replaced before the new roof covers them up.

  • Off to the deck: old shingles and underlayment stripped in full.
  • Deck inspected and repaired before the new roof goes on.
  • A full new system from the underlayment up to the ridge.

What goes on the roof

What a Roof Replacement Includes, Deck to Ridge

A replacement includes the tear-off, decking repair, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing, corrected ventilation and the new shingles or metal panels.

These are the layers and parts every replacement we quote installs, from the deck up:

  • Tear-offOld shingles and underlayment removed to the bare deck.
  • DeckingInspected sheet by sheet, rotten sections replaced with 7/16-inch OSB.
  • Synthetic underlaymentLaid over the whole roof in place of old felt.
  • Ice and water shieldSelf-adhering membrane at the eaves and in the valleys.
  • Drip edgeMetal edge with the underlayment lapped over it at the eaves and under it at the rakes.
  • FlashingAll of it new, with old plastic vents swapped for metal gooseneck and pipe flashings.
  • Ridge ventExhaust along the ridge, matched to intake at the soffits so the attic breathes.
  • Architectural shinglesThe heavier, multi-layer shingle most replacements use, or metal panels where you choose them.

Underlayment, ice barriers, flashing and ventilation are each set out in the International Residential Code roof assemblies chapter, the model code residential roofs are built to.

What it costs

How Roof Replacement Is Priced

A replacement is priced by the "square", 100 square feet of roof surface, and the size of the roof, its pitch, the layers torn off and any decking repair move that price.

A standard estimate covers tearing off one layer and normal disposal. A steep or complex roof, an extra layer underneath and deck repairs all raise it, which is why the number for your house comes from measuring your roof rather than from a chart.

Deck damage only shows once the old roof is off, so we price deck repair per sheet up front. If we find soft decking during the tear-off, you already know what each sheet costs, and nothing on the bill is a surprise.

Tear-off to walkthrough

How a Roof Replacement Runs, Tear-Off to Walkthrough

Materials arrive the day before, we tear off and dry in one slope at a time, install the new roof, sweep the yard for nails and walk the finished roof with you.

Most homes finish in one day; larger or more complex roofs take two.

Here is the job from delivery to the final walkthrough, step by step:

  1. 1

    Materials the day before

    Shingles and supplies are delivered the day before work starts and stored out of your way.

  2. 2

    Yard protected

    The trailer for the old roofing sits on tarps, which keeps debris off the lawn and garden beds and makes cleanup easier.

  3. 3

    Tear-off, one slope at a time

    We strip a slope to the deck and dry it in before opening the next, so your house is never left open overnight.

  4. 4

    Deck and new roof

    Soft decking is replaced, then the underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, vents and shingles go on.

  5. 5

    Cleanup

    A magnet sweep for nails, gutter cleaning, an attic ventilation check and photos of the finished work.

  6. 6

    Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished roof with you, hand over the registered warranty file and activate the warranty.

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!

Cost questions

Questions about what a new roof costs

How much does it cost to get a whole roof replaced?

A whole roof replacement in Meridian typically runs $10,000 to $18,000. Where your roof lands in that range depends on its size in squares, its pitch, the layers coming off and any deck repair, and our roof cost guide walks through each one.

Is $30,000 too much for a roof?

For asphalt shingles on a typical home it is high, since even the top published figure here is $25,100. A quote above that should name what drives it, such as a large, steep or complex roof, extra layers, deck repair, or metal or tile, and the roof cost guide shows how each moves the price.

What is the cheapest way to replace your roof?

Asphalt shingles are the least expensive roofing to install. Fixing the attic ventilation during the reroof instead of later, and getting deck repair priced per sheet before the tear-off, keep the total from creeping up.
