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

This service covers the installation, repair, and replacement of roofs for homes.

You should reach out for a professional inspection if you see loose shingles, water stains on your ceiling, or granules in your gutters.

Fall is arguably the best time for roof work. The heat of the summer has faded, and the heavy winter storms have not yet arrived. This window provides ideal conditions for shingles to cure, ensuring a solid installation before the year ends. Many customers prefer this season to get their homes ready for the colder months ahead.
