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

Roofing tar is a thick, black adhesive used to seal joints, flashings, and small gaps to keep water out. It is often a temporary fix for minor leaks, but it can also be used as a component in built-up roofing systems. If you notice localized leaks around your chimney or vents, tar is often the first line of defense. It is not a permanent solution for large-scale damage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Generally, metal roofing can be installed over existing asphalt shingles, but it depends on the condition of the existing roof and local building codes.

Sometimes, removing the old shingles is necessary to ensure proper ventilation and a secure base for the new metal roof.
