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

Proper insulation sits beneath your roofing material to regulate indoor temperatures and prevent heat transfer. If your energy bills are unusually high or you notice ice dams forming on your roof during winter, your insulation may be inadequate or damaged. Upgrading this layer helps keep your home comfortable year-round while reducing the strain on your HVAC system. We evaluate your attic's current state to determine if adding material will improve efficiency. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
