Why quotes vary
- • Square count: crews price per 100 sqft of roof area — verify their measurement against your home's footprint × pitch factor
- • Tear-off layers: each existing layer adds $100–$175/square in labor and disposal
- • Pitch and stories: steep or 2+ story roofs carry a legitimate 10–25% access premium
- • Decking: rotten sheets are a real cost, but open-ended 'decking allowances' are where surprise charges live — cap it in writing
- • Material grade: 3-tab vs architectural vs designer shingles can swing materials cost 2x
