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

A standing seam roof consists of metal panels that run vertically from the ridge to the eaves, with raised seams that lock together. This design keeps the fasteners hidden and protects them from the elements, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks compared to traditional exposed-fastener roofs. While the initial investment is higher due to the materials and labor, many homeowners choose it for its longevity and clean, modern look. We provide expert installation to ensure every seam is perfectly secured.

Roofing tar, also known as asphalt-based sealant, is used to waterproof and seal joints or small cracks in roofing systems. It's often applied to flashing around chimneys or vents, or to seal seams on certain types of flat roofs. While effective for minor applications, it's not typically a primary roofing material.
