Residential Roofing

Your Home Deserves a Roof That Performs

Residential roofing is the core of what we do. Every home is different — different age, different roof pitch, different material, different climate demands. A 1960s ranch with original composition shingles needs a different approach than a 2020 custom home with standing-seam metal. We size the solution to the home, not the other way around.

We handle every aspect of residential roofing: repair, replacement, new construction, maintenance, storm damage, and ventilation. Our crews are trained on every major roofing system — shingles, metal, tile, slate, cedar, and flat membranes — so you get a recommendation based on what your home actually needs, not what one crew happens to know.

How We Work With Homeowners

We know a roof project is a major decision. We make the process straightforward.

1. Free inspection — we walk the roof, check the attic, and document the condition with photos
2. Honest assessment — we explain what we find, show you the photos, and tell you whether repair or replacement makes the most sense
3. Material guidance — we help you choose the right material for your climate, budget, and home style; we bring samples and color options
4. Written estimate — detailed, line-item pricing with no hidden charges; you see exactly what you are paying for
5. Scheduling — we work around your schedule, protect your landscaping, and clean up every day
6. The work — our crews install your new roof to manufacturer specs with quality you can see
7. Walkthrough — we walk the property with you, explain the warranty, and answer every question

Residential Roofing Costs

The total cost depends on material choice, roof size, tear-off requirements, and deck condition.

Home size (roof area)	Shingle system	Metal system
1,200 sq ft	$5,000 – $10,000	$12,000 – $22,000
1,800 sq ft	$7,000 – $15,000	$16,000 – $30,000
2,500 sq ft	$10,000 – $20,000	$20,000 – $40,000
3,500+ sq ft	$15,000 – $30,000	$28,000 – $55,000

These are ranges for a standard tear-off and replacement. Every project gets a custom estimate based on the actual roof conditions.

Asphalt Shingles vs. Metal Roofing: A Deeper Look

The two most common residential roofing materials in the United States are asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal. Understanding the real differences helps you make the right call for your home.

Factor	Architectural shingles	Standing-seam metal
Upfront cost	Lower — $350 to $550 per square	Higher — $800 to $1,400 per square
Lifespan	25 – 30 years	40 – 70 years
Maintenance	Periodic inspections, occasional repairs	Minimal — fastener checks, sealant inspection
Wind resistance	110 – 130 mph depending on product	140+ mph with standing-seam panels
Fire resistance	Class A (with proper underlayment)	Class A — non-combustible
Energy efficiency	Standard — absorbs some heat	Reflective coatings reduce cooling costs 10 – 25%
Resale value	Standard market expectation	Premium feature — buyers notice
Snow shedding	Holds snow — ice dam risk in cold climates	Snow slides off — reduced ice dam risk

Metal roofing costs more upfront but pays back through longevity, lower maintenance, and energy savings. Shingles make sense when you need a reliable roof at the lowest initial cost, or when the home will be sold within 15 to 20 years.

Understanding Roof Ventilation

Roof ventilation is not optional — it is a structural requirement that directly affects shingle life, energy costs, and ice dam risk. A properly ventilated attic has balanced intake (soffit vents) and exhaust (ridge vent or roof vents) that keep air moving year-round.

In summer, ventilation removes superheated air from the attic, reducing cooling costs and preventing premature shingle aging. In winter, it keeps the roof deck cold and dry, preventing ice dams and condensation that leads to mold and wood rot.

We evaluate ventilation on every roof replacement and correct imbalances before installing new roofing. This is not an upsell — it is a requirement for the roof system to perform as designed.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims

Storm damage is the most stressful roofing situation a homeowner faces. We make it less overwhelming by handling the entire process.

1. Emergency response — tarp the damaged area to prevent further water intrusion
2. Damage documentation — photograph every affected area with detailed notes for the insurance adjuster
3. Insurance coordination — we meet with your adjuster, review the damage together, and ensure nothing is missed
4. Repair or replacement — once the claim is approved, we complete the work to code and to the insurance specifications
5. Deductible clarity — we explain what your policy covers and what your out-of-pocket cost will be before work begins

We do not inflate claims or encourage unnecessary work. Our reputation depends on honest assessments, and insurance companies trust our documentation because it is accurate.
