What moves the price

  • How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
  • The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
  • Ventilation work, if the old roof was cooking itself from underneath
  • How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
  • Where you land in the season; crews discount when the phone is quiet

Locally

Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.

Ask specifically whether the quote is for new tile or for relaying the existing tile. The difference is enormous and easy to miss.

Questions about price

What if the decking is rotten underneath?

Expect a few sheets on most older roofs. Get the per-sheet rate in the contract. Open-ended decking charges are where a fixed price stops being fixed.

Should I take the cheapest quote?

Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
