Pricing Factors

How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of a new roof varies significantly — every home is designed differently, so each project gets a customized estimate. These are the main variables we consider when preparing your roof replacement estimate:

Roof Pitch

Pitch is how steep your roof is. The steeper the roof, the more labor-intensive the project — steep roofs require additional safety measures, slower production, and more time to complete.

Type of Shingles

Shingles come in different thicknesses and quality levels — generally, the thicker and more durable the shingle, the higher the material cost. Premium shingles also offer better longevity, appearance, and warranty coverage.

Gutters & Drainage

Gutters are an important part of your roofing system. In some cases existing gutters can be kept; standard colors are white and brown, and custom colors to better match your home can increase the cost.

Existing Roofing Layers

Some roofs were installed over an existing layer, meaning two layers must be removed during replacement. Tearing off multiple layers increases labor and disposal costs — more time, effort, and dump fees.

Dry Rot & Wood Repairs

Older homes may have damage to fascia boards, eaves, or exposed wood, and small leaks can hide damage beneath the shingles. These issues often aren’t visible until tear-off, when damaged wood must be repaired for a solid, long-lasting system.

Roof Ventilation

Proper ventilation matters for both performance and warranty coverage. Standard warranties typically require a 1/300 ventilation ratio, while extended warranties often require around 1/150.

The Process

Our shingle roof replacement process

Step 1

Permits

We pull permits from the local building department in your jurisdiction.

Step 2

Tear-Off

We schedule a date to begin the tear-off of your existing roof, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Step 3

Dry Rot & Deck Inspection

Once the roof is torn off, we check that the sheathing is nailed down and dry rot is not present. If hidden dry rot is found, we review a change order with you before proceeding with repairs.

Step 4

Material Delivery

The supply yard delivers roofing materials directly to the top of the roof.

Step 5

In-Progress Inspections

We begin installation and schedule an in-progress inspection from the building department once 50% of the roof is installed. Some counties require a deck inspection before any materials go on, plus a final inspection.

Step 6

Finish Installation

We finish installing the shingle roof system and gutters, making sure the roof is up to code and everything is tidy for the final inspection.

Step 7

Smoke & CO Compliance

You sign a certification stating smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are installed throughout the home, as required by the local building department.

Step 8

Final Inspection

We call the building department for the final inspection and set up a ladder for the inspector. The inspector collects the compliance certification and checks the roof to complete the permitting process.

Step 9

Final Walkthrough

We confirm everything is complete and you’re satisfied. The final invoice is billed, and your workmanship warranty, paid invoice, and photos are submitted — plus the manufacturer warranty is registered and emailed to you.

The Problem

  • Storm damage caused by wind, with worn-out shingles throughout the roof
  • Insurance required repair or replacement to keep the homeowner’s policy
  • Risk of more shingles blowing off in subsequent high winds — a repair would only delay a near-term replacement

Our Solution

  • Recommended full replacement based on overall condition and limited remaining lifespan
  • Complete tear-off and new GAF Timberline HDZ Reflector Series shingles (Stone Gray), with O’Hagin vents and added intake vents to pass inspection
  • Provided documentation of the new roof so the homeowner kept their insurance policy

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

For a standard home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an attached garage, a new roof can range anywhere between $12,000 and $15,000. Factors such as the design of the roof, extent of damage to wood, and choice of materials affect the price of a new roof replacement.

The three leading manufacturers are GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed — all three offer similar quality. The key to a superior roofing system lies in proper ventilation and strictly following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ultimately, the best choice is not just the brand, but installing it correctly.

Conditions are rarely as ideal as those used to rate shingle lifespan. If your home is shaded from harsh sun, you may achieve the full rated life — but as a rule of thumb, expect shingles to last about 80–85% of their rated lifespan with proper maintenance. The higher the rating, the thicker the shingle.
