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

A tin roof is a classic metal option that offers a distinct, traditional aesthetic. While often used as a general term for metal coverings, true tin roofs are rare today due to modern material advancements. You might need one if you want a specific architectural look for a historic home or a rustic structure. These roofs are known for their longevity and ability to withstand harsh weather, provided they are installed correctly to prevent rust and ensure proper sealing.

It's best suited for specific applications.
