The six things that move your price

01

Roof size (squares)

The biggest driver. A 1,600 sq ft ranch roof costs roughly half what a 3,200 sq ft two-story does.

02

Pitch & walkability

Steep roofs (8/12+) need more safety rigging and time — typically adding 15–30%.

03

Layers to tear off

Each extra layer of old shingles adds labor and disposal. Older {{city}} homes sometimes carry three.

04

Penetrations & details

Chimneys, skylights, dormers, and valleys all add flashing work — the part bad roofers skip.

05

Deck condition

Rotted decking is replaced per sheet ($85–$120 each). Honest contractors photograph every board they bill.

06

Material choice

The table above — shingle to metal to tile roughly doubles, then triples, the budget.

Cost questions, answered

Up front, yes — a layover saves $1,500–$3,000. But it shortens the new roof's life, voids many manufacturer warranties, hides deck rot, and costs more at the next tear-off. We don't recommend it, and we'll show you why on your specific roof.
Usually scope, not greed: one quote includes ice & water shield, new flashing, and ventilation; the other reuses what's there. Always compare line items. A single-number quote is a red flag.
Yes — financing from $129/month with $0 down, terms to 120 months. Checking your rate is a soft pull. See the financing page for payment examples.
If it has documented hail or wind damage, often yes — you pay your deductible, not the full price. Our insurance claim guide walks through the whole process.
