What actually moves the price
The eight cost drivers
Roof size (squares)
Priced per 100 sq ft. Larger roofs earn some volume efficiency but scale mostly linearly.
Pitch & complexity
Steep or cut-up roofs need more labor, safety equipment, and material waste.
Material choice
Biggest single variable — asphalt to tile can be a 4x price swing.
Decking condition
Priced per replaced sheet. Older Central Texas homes average 2–6 sheets.
Ventilation upgrades
Balanced intake and exhaust often runs $400–$1,200 additional but doubles shingle lifespan.
Solar detach & reset
Removing and reinstalling panels is $1,500–$4,000 depending on system size.
Permits & inspections
Some municipalities require permits ($150–$500). Others don’t.
Accessibility
Tight yards, delicate landscaping, or long material carries add labor time.
Why we always publish prices
The old roofing playbook is to hide numbers until a salesperson is in your living room. That’s the exact playbook we refuse to run. Homeowners deserve to walk into any conversation already knowing whether the ballpark makes sense — and to leave that conversation with a written, line-item proposal.
