A re-roof is your chance to fix what the builder rushed. Sage Roofing re-roofs Meridian homes by stripping worn shingles, checking every sheet of decking and correcting attic airflow. You end up with a roof that is better than the one your house came with.
Tell us when your home was built and we'll set up a free assessment.
Re-roofing means putting a new roof system on an existing home. In Meridian, that usually means a house from the 1990s or 2000s getting its first replacement since the builder walked away. The median home here was built in 2007, so most re-roofs we see are first-time re-roofs.
The big decision is tear-off or overlay. An overlay adds new shingles on top of the old ones. It saves a day of labor but hides the deck, adds weight and can shorten the life of the new shingles. We almost always recommend a tear-off so we can see and fix what is underneath.
A re-roof also lets us upgrade parts that builders often skimp on: drip edge, valley flashing, pipe boots and ridge or box vents.
Many Meridian homeowners are surprised by what we find under the old shingles. Builder roofs were often installed quickly, with minimal flashing at walls and short pipe boots. None of that shows from the street, but all of it matters once water finds a gap.
We also look at how the original roof was vented. A lot of 1990s and 2000s attics in Meridian have too little intake at the eaves. Fixing that during the re-roof costs far less than chasing ice dams or curled shingles later.
Finally, a re-roof is a good time to rethink the shingle itself. You do not have to put back what the builder used. Architectural and impact-resistant shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed and IKO are all options, subject to your HOA.

Heavy granule loss leaves shingles bare to the summer sun. Once the asphalt is exposed, it dries and cracks faster. If your gutters fill with dark grit after every storm, the shingles are near the end.
If the roof feels spongy underfoot or dips between rafters, the sheathing is failing. Only a tear-off lets us replace it. Overlaying soft decking just traps the problem under new shingles.
If a past owner overlaid the original roof, another overlay is off the table. General code practice caps roofs at two layers, and we'd strip both. Two old layers also hide twice as much damage.
Poor builder-era ventilation cooks shingles in summer and can feed ice dams in winter. A re-roof is the time to fix airflow with added intake vents and proper exhaust at the ridge.
Under 7% of Meridian homes predate 1980. Most re-roofs fall into one of these groups, and each one tends to need different fixes once the old shingles come off.
About 20.0% of the city's homes were built in the 1990s. Their original three-tab or early architectural shingles are often worn out. Expect a full tear-off and some decking replacement.
The 29.7% of homes built in the 2000s are now entering re-roof age. We often find under-vented attics and thin pipe flashing worth upgrading.
Roofs from the 2010s are usually too young for a full re-roof. When we do one here, it is often after storm damage rather than age. Hail from storms like the September 2013 event can shorten a young roof's life, so we inspect before assuming it is fine.
Most re-roofs take 1–3 days once work begins. Here is the usual sequence, so you know what to expect from the first truck to the final sweep.
Schedule My Re-RoofTarps over landscaping and AC units, plywood against siding and a dumpster placed where you want it. We confirm parking with you so neighbors are not blocked in.
All old shingles, underlayment and worn flashing come off so we can see the sheathing. Debris goes straight into the dumpster, not your lawn.
We replace any rotted or delaminated boards and re-nail loose sheets.
Drip edge, underlayment, valley and wall flashing, vents and shingles go on in order.
We inspect the roof, run magnets for nails and haul off every scrap. Then we walk the property with you and answer any questions.
0% interest for up to 18 months, or long-term plans as low as $149 a month, on approved credit. Since decking repairs are only known after tear-off, we price replacement boards up front in the quote.
An overlay is sometimes possible over a single layer, but we rarely recommend it. It hides decking problems and adds weight. A tear-off is the better long-term choice for most Meridian homes.
Most likely. Many Meridian HOAs require architectural committee approval before a new roof, often with color or material samples. We help you submit that before we schedule.
Yes. Meridian lists roof replacement and repair under work that needs a permit. The city tracks these as residential reroof permits, and we apply online for you.
About half of Meridian's homes were built between 1990 and 2009. Builder-grade roofs from that boom are aging together, so whole streets often come due within a few years.
We show you photos and replace only the damaged boards. The per-sheet price is in your written quote, so there are no surprise costs.
Most re-roofs take 1–3 days once the crew starts. Larger homes, steep pitches or a lot of decking repair can add time, and we tell you up front if we expect that.
