Cost factors
What drives the price
Roof size and pitch
Steeper roofs need more safety gear and time per square.
Tear-off layers
Removing two old layers costs more than one.
Decking repair
Soft or rotted plywood, common under PNW moss, is replaced at a per-sheet price.
Ventilation and details
Vents, flashing, skylights and chimneys add labor.
Ways to save
How to keep the price down
Get the per-sheet price for replacement decking in writing, so surprises are priced up front.
Ask whether the bid includes new underlayment, flashing and ventilation – not just shingles.
Book in late spring or summer for the widest choice of crews.
