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.

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.

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.
