Price drivers
What drives the cost of a new roof
- Size.Roofs are measured in squares. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface.
- Pitch.Steeper roofs take more safety gear, more labor and more time.
- Material.Shingle costs least up front. Metal and tile cost more and last longer.
- Tear-off.Every extra layer of old roofing adds removal and disposal time.
- Decking.Rotted plywood is replaced sheet by sheet before the new roof goes on.
- Details.Skylights, chimneys, valleys and vents all add flashing work.
Materials
How roof materials compare
| Material | Upfront cost | Typical life | Best for |

| Metal | $$$ | 40+ years | Long-term owners, heat and wind |
| Tile | $$$ | Decades (underlayment 20–25 years) | Tile communities and Mediterranean-style homes |
| Flat / low-slope | $$ | 10–20 years | Additions, porches and commercial roofs |
Relative costs and typical ranges. Your inspection and quote set the real numbers.

Keeping cost down
Ways to spend less over the life of the roof
- Repair when it makes sense.If the roof has years left, a repair beats a replacement.
- Compare lifetime cost.A roof that lasts twice as long can cost less per year.
- Plan before storm season.Scheduling in the off-season beats an emergency replacement.

FAQ
Common questions
Why do roofing quotes vary so much?
Different underlayment, different decking assumptions, and whether tear-off, permits and disposal are included. An itemized quote makes them comparable.
Is the cheapest quote a bad sign?
Not always. Compare line by line. Underlayment, the per-sheet decking price and the warranty are where cheap quotes usually cut.
