What will my new roof cost?The initial cost for your new metal roof or shingle roof is carefully calculated. Factors such as slope, linear feet of trim, access, color, and style all need to be determined before any pricing accuracy is possible. The number of "squares" of roofing also is a factor but it alone is not enough.
If you are interested in a specific estimate for your home, please contact us. If you're still trying to choose, contact us and I will try to answer any question you have. I prefer a metal roof for its beauty and durability, but some people like shingles. For more information see SHINGLES VS METAL ROOF.

The three different homes featured here illustrate that point. The first home is relatively simple. This type of install is referred to in the roofing business as an "up and over". The slope is mild and the detail work is minimal. 
Home number two gets more complicated. It's up high, the slope is less walkable, wall flashings and other trim work is needed, and it's bigger. 
The third home is very complex and therefore can expect more labor and more trim accessories (this is true regardless of whether metal or asphalt is put on). The slope is very severe, it's up high, it's very "cut up", and it requires some work behind the chimney to redirect the flow of snow, ice, and water.
