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

Roof sealant is a specialized liquid or paste applied to joints, flashings, and small cracks to prevent water infiltration. It acts as a barrier in vulnerable areas where leaks are most likely to start, such as around chimneys, vents, or skylights. If you have noticed minor moisture spots in your ceiling, a professional application of sealant might resolve the issue before it leads to structural rot. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
