How the job goes
Inspection
The inspector checks seams, flashing, drains and rooftop equipment, and probes for wet insulation.
Written scope
You get a written scope with photos, and whether the roof needs repair or replacement.
Work
Seams are hot-air welded, details are flashed, and drainage is checked before the crew leaves.
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.
- Roof area
- Large, open roofs go faster per square foot than small, cut-up ones.
- Tear-off or recover
- Whether the old roof comes off, or a new membrane can go over it.
- Insulation and drainage
- Wet insulation has to be replaced, and tapered insulation adds to the job.
- Rooftop equipment
- HVAC units, curbs and penetrations each need flashing work.
- Access
- Height, landscaping, tight driveways and neighboring buildings change how the crew and materials get up and down.
The only way to a real number is to see the roof.

| Seams | Heat-welded | Glued or taped | Torched, mopped or self-adhered |
| Color and heat | Reflects sunlight, so the roof stays cooler | Absorbs heat, which can help melt snow | Usually dark, or with a reflective granule cap sheet |
| Foot traffic | Fair; walk pads help near equipment | Fair; can puncture under sharp objects | Good; a thick, tough surface |
| Common on | Newer commercial roofs | Older commercial roofs and many flat home roofs | Commercial roofs and flat sections on homes |
