What Drives Roof Replacement Cost

Material choice, tear-off versus overlay, and roof pitch are the big three. Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile all price differently per square, and a steep or complex roof adds labor. Comparing several written bids for your exact roof is the only reliable way to know what it should cost.

How Matching Works

Answer a few questions about your roof and we share your request with local roofing contractors through our partner network so they can contact you with bids. You choose who to talk to and who to hire — there is no obligation.

What To Ask A Roofer Before You Hire

Ask whether the bid includes full tear-off and disposal, how flashing and ventilation are handled, and what the warranty covers on both materials and workmanship. A reputable roofer will inspect before bidding — be wary of any firm number given sight unseen.

What To Expect, Start To Finish

A straightforward replacement usually runs from delivery and tear-off through installation and cleanup inside a few days, weather permitting. Your contractor should walk the finished roof with you and leave the site magnet-swept for nails.
