What moves the price
- Roof size. Larger roofs cost less per square foot — mobilization is spread over more area.
- Tear-off vs. recover. Tear-off carries the labor and disposal; a recover over a dry, sound roof is the cheaper path where code allows it.
- Insulation and drainage. Code R-value, and tapered insulation where ponding has to be fixed.
- Deck condition. Rotted or rusted decking found at tear-off is repaired before the new system goes down.
- Details. HVAC curbs, skylights, parapets and penetrations all add labor.
- Warranty length. Longer manufacturer terms require heavier assemblies.
Storm damage may be covered by insurance rather than by you — see roof insurance claims. For everything else, financing spreads the cost over the life of the roof. A free inspection turns these ranges into an exact written number for your building.
