What moves the price up or down
Priced per square (100 sq ft of roof). Roof area is usually bigger than your home’s floor area because of slope and overhangs.
Steep roofs need harnesses and more time; expect 5–15% more.
Each extra layer to tear off adds $75–$125 per square.
Rotten plywood or OSB replaced at about $70–$110 per sheet.
Valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights add labor and flashing.
The biggest single choice; see the table.
