What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

The cost to install a roof is determined by the square footage, the pitch or steepness of the roof, and the type of material you select.

Frequently asked in Boston

What roofing tar should I avoid in Boston?

Some roofing tar products can become brittle and crack in Boston's temperature extremes. Look for high-quality, polymer-modified asphaltic compounds. These offer better flexibility and adhesion in both heat and cold. Avoid generic, petroleum-based tars that may degrade quickly. The pros we work with select materials proven for our local climate. They'll ensure the best product is used for your specific roof.

How does a standing seam roof perform in Boston's climate?

Are clay roof tiles a good option for Boston homes?

Clay roof tiles offer a classic look and excellent durability, but they are heavy. They can withstand Boston's weather, but your home's structure must support the weight. Installation requires specialized expertise to ensure proper sealing and drainage. If your home can accommodate them, they provide a beautiful and long-lasting roof. Discuss your options with a specialist.
