Roofing guides

How to read a roofing quote

A roofing quote should spell out the exact material brand and grade, whether tear-off and disposal are included, underlayment type, flashing details, permit handling, cleanup, and warranty terms for both labor and materials.

Red flags to watch for

Upfront payment of more than 30%, no contractor license number, no permit mention, cash-only requirement, and missing warranty language are all warning signs. Our quote check surfaces these automatically.

How much does a Bay Area roof replacement cost?

Bay Area roofing projects typically range from $12,000 to $45,000 depending on square footage, material, tear-off complexity, and access. Asphalt shingle replacements run $4–$8 per square foot installed; metal and tile cost more.

Repair vs. replacement — which do you need?

If the roof is under 50% of its typical lifespan and damage is isolated, repair is usually appropriate. If it's leaking in multiple areas, near end of life, or a repair estimate exceeds 50% of replacement cost, replacement is likely better value.
