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.

What are the pros and cons of metal roofing in general?

Metal roofing offers excellent longevity, often outlasting traditional asphalt shingles by decades, and is resistant to fire and high winds. It's also energy-efficient, reflecting solar heat. However, the initial cost can be higher, and installation requires specialized skills. Sound can sometimes be a concern for those accustomed to quieter roofing materials.
