    How Roofing Pricing Works

    We believe in complete transparency. Here's what goes into a roofing estimate and why prices vary.

    What affects your roofing cost?

    Roof Size

    Measured in roofing squares (100 sq ft each). Larger roofs require more materials and labor.

    Material Choice

    3-tab shingles, architectural shingles, designer options, or metal — each has different cost profiles.

    Roof Pitch & Complexity

    Steeper roofs and complex shapes with many valleys, hips, and dormers cost more to install safely.

    Tear-Off Layers

    Removing multiple layers of old shingles adds labor and disposal costs.

    Decking Condition

    Rotted or damaged decking must be repaired before new shingles can be installed.

    Ventilation & Add-Ons

    Ridge vents, ice/water shield, gutter replacement, and other upgrades affect the total.

    Why we don't advertise a single price

    Every home is different. A ranch-style home with a simple roofline costs significantly less than a two-story colonial with multiple dormers, valleys, and steep pitches. Advertising a single number would be misleading.

    Instead, we provide detailed proposals that break down every line item so you know exactly what you're paying for — and why.

    • No hidden fees or surprise charges
    • Detailed material and labor breakdown
    • Multiple material options at different price points
    • Financing options available
    • We explain every line item in person
