What affects the price

Several things change the final bill when you replace a roof. The total area of your home is the biggest factor, followed by the specific materials you choose, like asphalt shingles versus metal or tile. We also look at the pitch or slope of your roof and how many layers of old material need to be pulled off before we start. If there is hidden wood rot or damaged decking underneath, that adds to the labor and supplies required.

Clay tiles are a premium, natural roofing material known for their distinct aesthetic and incredible lifespan. They are heavy, fire-resistant, and excellent at reflecting heat, making them popular in warmer climates. You should choose these if you are looking for a long-term architectural upgrade for your home. Because of their weight, your roof structure may need reinforcement, which impacts the project cost. Pricing typically starts in the higher range; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
