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 tiles are heavy, durable units often made of clay or concrete, known for their unique shape and fire resistance. They are common in areas with warmer climates and can last for decades. You should choose tiles if you want a premium look that adds significant character to your home. Because they are heavy, your roof deck may need extra reinforcement, which is a factor in your total cost; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
