What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Galvanized steel is treated with a zinc coating to prevent rust and corrosion, making it a very popular choice for metal roofing. It provides a tough shield against the elements and requires very little upkeep compared to other materials. You might choose this if you want the strength of steel with added protection against moisture. Pricing typically depends on the gauge of the steel and your roof's complexity.
