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.

About this service

Regular maintenance involves inspecting your roof for debris, damaged shingles, or compromised seals to catch issues before they turn into major leaks. It is recommended to have a professional look at your roof annually, or after significant wind and hail storms. Keeping gutters clear and vents unobstructed is also part of this process. This routine care extends the life of your roofing materials and helps you avoid sudden, costly damage.
