What changes the price
Roof pitch and complexity
A steep-pitch roof with multiple valleys, dormers, or hips can add 20 to 40 percent in labor over a simple gable. Crews need safety harnesses and slow down.
Tear-off layers
Most jurisdictions only allow one layer of asphalt over the original deck. A double tear-off adds about 1 dollar per square foot in disposal.
Material choice
Asphalt remains the cheapest install. Metal and tile cost two to three times as much up front but last two to three times as long.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take?+
A typical 1800 sq ft asphalt re-roof takes one to three days. Metal and tile run three to seven days because of fastener and underlayment requirements.
Is a roof replacement covered by homeowners insurance?+
Insurance covers replacement caused by a sudden, named peril such as hail or wind. Age-related wear and deferred maintenance are excluded under almost every policy.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof?+
Yes in most US cities and counties. Permit fees usually run 150 to 500 dollars and are bundled into the contractor's quote.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof?+
Late spring and early fall offer the best installation temperatures for asphalt sealant. Winter installs are possible but slower and may carry a 5 to 10 percent surcharge.
Should I repair or replace my roof?+
Repair if the roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized. Replace if shingles are curling sitewide, granules fill the gutters, or two or more leaks have appeared in a single season.
