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.

About this service

A steel roof is a high-durability option designed to last much longer than traditional asphalt shingles. These systems are highly resistant to wind and hail, making them a smart long-term investment for many homeowners. If you are tired of replacing shingles every time there is a storm or if you want to lower your home's energy absorption, steel is a strong candidate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.
