Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.

About this service
Roofing tar is a thick, black adhesive used to seal joints, flashings, and small gaps to keep water out. It is often a temporary fix for minor leaks, but it can also be used as a component in built-up roofing systems. If you notice localized leaks around your chimney or vents, tar is often the first line of defense. It is not a permanent solution for large-scale damage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
