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.

About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, viscous sealant used to patch holes, seal flashings, and cover exposed nail heads. It creates a heavy-duty waterproof bond that is useful for quick emergency repairs around chimneys or vents. While effective for stopping active leaks, it is generally considered a temporary fix rather than a long-term replacement for proper roofing materials. If you find yourself applying tar frequently, it is usually a sign that the underlying roof structure requires a professional inspection.

Summer offers long, dry days that are ideal for efficient roofing work. High temperatures can be physically demanding for crews, so we often start early to finish before the peak heat of the afternoon. This schedule helps maintain the integrity of your materials and ensures a high-quality finish for your new roof installation.
