Step 1 of 6

Where is the property?

Location changes labor, disposal, permit, and material costs.

About how large is the home?

We use home size as a starting point, then adjust for roof complexity.

Choose the roofing system

Material and whether existing tile can be reused are major pricing variables.

How complex is the roof?

Pitch, valleys, dormers, and access affect labor and waste.

What work might be needed?

Select everything you know. Unseen decking damage cannot be priced until inspection.

How old is the existing roof?

Age helps flag the likelihood of extra preparation.

      Questions to ask before accepting a roofing proposal

      • Does the price include tear-off, disposal, permits, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup?
      • How is damaged decking priced if it is discovered after removal?
      • Which manufacturer, product line, warranty, and workmanship warranty are included?
      • Who handles solar panels, gutters, skylights, code upgrades, and final inspection?
      • What payment schedule applies, and what could legitimately change the final price?
