How the job goes
Inspection
Shakes, flashing, ridges and valleys are checked, and soft or rotted areas found.
Repair or replace
You hear whether repair still makes sense or the roof is at the end of its life.
Work
Damaged shakes are replaced to match, flashing is repaired, and the site is cleaned up.
What affects the price
We don't publish prices because no two roofs are the same. These are what move the number on your written estimate.
- Shakes or shingles
- Thickness and grade of the cedar change the price.
- Repair or replace
- A few shakes is a quick repair; widespread rot means a new roof.
- Flashing
- Chimneys, valleys and walls often need new flashing with the roof.
- Size and pitch
- Bigger and steeper roofs take more material and more time, and steep roofs need extra safety setup.
- Access
- Height, landscaping, tight driveways and neighboring buildings change how the crew and materials get up and down.
See a ballpark price range for your own home. The only exact number comes from seeing the roof.
Shakes or shingles
Cedar shakes
Thicker and split, with a rough, rustic texture.
Cedar shingles
Thinner and sawn, with a smoother, tailored look.
Underlayment and airflow
Cedar needs to dry out between rains, so what goes under it matters.
Flashing
Valleys, chimneys and walls need metal flashing that will last as long as the wood.
