What to Expect in Your Roofing Project
Roofing bids can look wildly different for the same house. Knowing what goes into the work helps you compare them properly.
Tear-off vs. overlay
A full tear-off removes the old material down to the deck and lets the roofer inspect and repair the sheathing. An overlay is cheaper but can hide problems. A good bid tells you which one it's quoting.
Material choice
Asphalt shingles, metal, cedar, and membrane roofs differ in cost, lifespan, and look. Metal and premium shingles cost more up front but last far longer — worth weighing against how long you'll stay.
Underlayment, flashing, and ventilation
The parts you don't see — ice-and-water shield, flashing around chimneys and valleys, and proper attic ventilation — are what make a roof last. Cheap quotes cut corners here.
What affects the cost
- Roof size, pitch, and number of stories
- Tear-off of one or more existing layers
- Material (asphalt vs. metal vs. cedar vs. membrane)
- Condition of the decking underneath
- Flashing, skylights, chimneys, and valleys
What to have ready
- The approximate age of your current roof
- Photos of any visible damage or leaks
- Whether you've seen water stains inside the home
- Your preferred material if you have one in mind
