What’s different about Meridian
Meridian's fast suburban growth in the Boise area keeps contractors busy, with snow load and freeze-thaw cycles driving durable exterior detailing.
- Metal sheds snow and resists ice dams, a common pick in heavy-snow regions.
How the cost is built
Metal-roof cost is driven by panel type (corrugated and ribbed steel are cheaper; standing-seam, aluminum, copper, and zinc cost more), roof complexity, and gauge. Metal costs about twice as much as asphalt upfront but lasts 40–60 years, so its cost per year is often lower.
