Frequently Asked Questions

A new asphalt shingle roof typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000 for a standard residential home. Metal roofs range from $10,000 to $25,000, and premium materials like slate or tile can cost $15,000 to $40,000+. The final price depends on roof size, material, complexity, and your location. We provide free, no-obligation estimates with transparent pricing — no hidden fees or surprises.

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1 to 3 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 4-5 days. Weather delays can extend the timeline. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while never compromising on quality. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.

Minor issues like a few missing shingles or a small leak can usually be repaired. However, if your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, shows signs of sagging, or has multiple leaks, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run.
