Roof Replacement Boise is a roofing company serving Boise and the Treasure Valley, and commercial flat roofing (tpo/epdm) is one of the services we handle most. This page covers what the work involves here specifically — the climate, the code, and what it costs — rather than what it involves in general.

What we do on the first visit

The first visit is an inspection, not a sales call. We walk the roof with you, check the deck from the attic side where we can, count valleys and penetrations, and note the pitch and how much staging or safety equipment the job needs. We confirm whether any prior layers are on the roof already — code allows a maximum of two before a full tear-off is required — and then you get a written per-square price with tear-off and any deck repair as separate lines.

If we think repair is the better spend than replacement, or a different material suits your situation better, we say so on that visit — including when it means the smaller job for us.

What's included

On-site inspection and a written per-square price for TPO or EPDM before any work starts
Guidance on TPO vs. EPDM membrane for your building, budget, and roof age
Tapered insulation design for positive drainage where ponding water is a problem
Heat-welded (TPO) or properly seamed (EPDM) membrane installation, not just glued laps
New flashing at parapet walls, curbs, drains, and rooftop penetrations
Roof drains and scuppers cleared, inspected, and repaired if undersized or damaged
Walkway pads placed at HVAC service paths to protect the new membrane
Full site cleanup with magnet sweep for dropped fasteners and haul-away of the old roofing

What this costs in Boise

Commercial Flat Roofing (TPO/EPDM) runs $550–$950 per roofing square installed in this area. 2026 published installed pricing for TPO/EPDM low-slope commercial roofing in the Boise/Treasure Valley area, translated from per-square-foot ranges (r2fidaho.com, idahoroofingcontractors.com); priced per square for comparison, though flat-roof bidding conventions vary by building. The things that move a job up its range are tear-off, how much deck repair is needed, pitch, and how many valleys and penetrations your roof has. If you want a number before you call, the roof cost calculator will get you close.

When it needs doing

Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain
Membrane seams lifting, bubbling, or separating
Blistering or cracking in the membrane surface
Water stains or sagging on interior ceiling tiles
Visible ash or debris buildup around drains and low points
Noticeably higher heating or cooling costs tied to roof condition

Questions

Commercial Flat Roofing (TPO/EPDM) questions

Should I choose TPO or EPDM for my building?

TPO is a heat-welded, white or light-colored membrane that reflects UV and holds up well to this valley's intense summer sun; EPDM is a black rubber membrane with a long track record and slightly different seaming approach. Both fall in the same $550-$950 per square installed range. The right choice depends on your roof's age, existing system, and your building's cooling costs — we'll walk through both at the inspection.

Can you replace our roof without shutting down the business?

In most cases, yes. Flat roof tear-off and install happens entirely from the roof, and we sequence the work to keep noise and disruption to the interior minimal. We'll walk through the specific timeline and any access needs for your building at the inspection.

Does a commercial flat roof need a permit in Boise?

Yes, the same way residential reroofing does — a building permit is required, with the fee based on project valuation. We pull it as part of the job rather than leaving it to you or your property manager.

How does ponding water and wildfire ash affect a flat roof here?

Flat and low-slope roofs are the most exposed to both problems in this valley: ponding water accelerates membrane wear if drainage isn't designed correctly, and acidic wildfire-season ash and soot settle on low-slope roofs, hold moisture, and add real weight. Tapered insulation for positive drainage and periodic debris clearing are the two biggest factors in how long a commercial membrane actually lasts here.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free across Boise and the Treasure Valley, including the drive. We walk the roof with you, check the deck from the attic side where we can, and hand you a written per-square price with tear-off and any deck repair broken out as their own lines.
