What roofing and gutters
actually cost around here.
Almost nobody in this business will put a number on their website. So here are ours, plus the honest explanation of what moves them — which is the part that actually helps you judge any quote, including someone else's.
Four things and we'll call you back. Days, usually within the hour.
$6,000 to $50,000, and here's what decides where you land.
That is an honest range, not a dodge. A small single-story roof with one layer coming off and sound decking underneath sits near the bottom. A large, steep, cut-up roof with two layers to tear off and rot to repair sits near the top. Most houses around here land somewhere in the middle.
Size, measured in squares
A roofing square is 100 square feet. Your roof is always bigger than your floor plan because of pitch and overhang — a 2,000 sq ft house does not have 2,000 sq ft of roof.
Pitch and complexity
Steep roofs need more labor and safety setup. Valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights all add cuts, flashing and time. A simple gable costs less per square than a cut-up roof of the same size.
Layers coming off
One layer of shingles is a normal tear-off. Two layers is roughly double the disposal and labor before a single new shingle goes on.
What's under there
Rotted decking has to be replaced and nobody can see it until the old roof is off. This is the single most common reason a roofing number changes mid-job.
Material
Architectural asphalt shingles are the standard here and the most affordable. Metal costs considerably more up front and lasts considerably longer — worth pricing both if you plan to stay.
Stories and access
Two-story work is slower and takes more setup. So does a roof a truck cannot get near, or one hemmed in by live oaks.
Most gutter jobs come in under $2,000.
Not because we cut corners — because most houses do not need every run guarded. Your number depends on how much footage you have and how much of it is actually under trees.
From $500
Installation starts at $500 and is priced per foot after we measure. Your quote lists your actual footage, downspout count and what's included.
Seamless gutters →Per foot
Quoted per linear foot once we've measured. The number depends on which system your house actually needs — and sometimes that's the least expensive one.
See the options →After we look
Too many variables to fake a number: square footage, pitch, layers coming off, decking condition, material. That's why the inspection is free.
Roofing →The things that actually change your price.
None of this is mysterious. It's just rarely explained.
Linear feet
Gutters are priced by the foot. More roofline, more gutter. This is the single biggest factor and it's the one most quotes leave off entirely.
Stories
Two-story work is slower and takes more setup. It costs more, and any honest quote reflects that.
Roof pitch
Steep roofs are slower and less safe to work. They also throw more water, which can push you to six-inch gutters.
Condition underneath
Soft fascia or bad decking has to be fixed before anything new goes up. We check at the quote so it isn't a surprise later.
Material and size
Five-inch versus six-inch. Standard aluminum versus heavier gauge or copper. Which guard system. All of it moves the number.
Access
Tight side yards, fences, landscaping and power lines all slow the work down.
One number, in writing, good for 30 days.
You get one number, in writing. Not a range, not a “starting at,” and not a figure I quote out loud and you try to remember. It comes by text the same night, so you have it in hand to think about or compare.
It doesn't change. There's no same-day discount, no manager to call, no version of this where the price drops because you decided tonight. If a number can fall thirty percent because you stood up to walk away, it was never the real number.
And if something's found mid-job, you approve it first. Rotted decking under intact shingles is a real thing and we can't see it until the old roof comes off. When it happens, you get a photo and a cost before anyone touches it.
How to read any roofing quote you get.
Ask how many squares. If a contractor cannot tell you the roof area he measured, he did not measure it. Two quotes are not comparable until you know they are pricing the same roof.
Ask what happens if there is rot. The honest answer is a per-sheet price agreed up front. A quote that pretends this cannot happen is a quote that will change later.
Ask whether tear-off and disposal are included. On a two-layer roof this is real money and it is the easiest thing to leave out of a low bid.
Ask how long the price is good for. If it drops because you hesitated, it was never the real price. Ours holds for 30 days and does not move.
Ask who is actually on your roof. Plenty of companies sell the job and subcontract the work to whoever is available that week.
