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
Sheet metal roofing involves custom-fabricating flat metal sheets to fit the specific dimensions of your roof. This method is highly versatile and perfect for complex roof lines, valleys, and chimneys. You need this service if you want a custom, high-end look with fewer joints to prevent potential leaks. Because this requires custom metalwork and experienced craftsmanship, costs are typically higher than standard shingles; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Rubber roofing, often EPDM, is a durable synthetic rubber membrane. It's ideal for flat or low-slope roofs on homes or commercial buildings. It offers excellent waterproofing and can withstand harsh weather. It's a long-lasting and cost-effective solution for certain roof types.
