Roofing materials — Lafayette, LA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Replacing a roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the primary driver, along with the specific materials you select—as premium shingles or metal options carry higher price points than standard asphalt. We also look at the complexity of your roof’s architecture, such as steep pitches or multiple chimneys, which require extra labor and safety gear. Additionally, the condition of the wood decking underneath your old shingles can add costs if repairs are needed once we strip the old layers.
