What affects the cost?
- Roof size — measured in "squares" (100 sq ft each); a typical home is 20–35 squares
- Roof pitch/steepness — steep roofs require extra safety equipment and take longer
- Structural damage — rotted decking or damaged rafters must be repaired first
- Permits and inspections — most jurisdictions require permits for full replacements
- Season — late spring through early fall is peak roofing season with higher prices
How to save on roofing costs
- Schedule in the off-season — late fall and winter may bring 10–15% lower prices
- Get 3–5 quotes — roofing estimates vary more than most trades
- Choose asphalt over premium materials — modern architectural shingles last 25–30 years at half the cost of tile
- Bundle with gutters — adding gutters during a roof replacement is cheaper than a separate project
- Check insurance coverage — storm and hail damage may be covered

Frequently asked questions
Will insurance cover a new roof?
Sometimes. Insurance covers roof damage from sudden events: hail, wind, fallen trees, fire. It does NOT cover wear-and-tear, age, or maintenance issues. File a claim if storm damage occurred. The insurer sends an adjuster; you should also have an independent roofer present to advocate for full coverage.
How long does a roof last?
Asphalt shingles: 20–25 years. Architectural shingles: 30 years. Metal: 40–70 years. Tile/slate: 50–100 years. Wood shake: 25–30 years. Lifespan depends heavily on climate (heat and freeze cycles age roofs faster) and quality of installation. Annual inspections extend useful life.
