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.

There are several options for shingles, including asphalt, architectural, and composite materials. Each has different durability ratings, lifespans, and resistance levels to high winds or heavy rain. Choosing the right type depends on your local climate, your budget, and the architectural design of your home.
