Most people want one number. The honest answer is that every roof is different. But you can get a good idea before anyone climbs a ladder.
What cost guides say
Published cost guides for the Charlotte area put an asphalt shingle re-roof at about $450 to $850 per square. A "square" is a roofer's word for 100 square feet of roof.
Those same guides say a typical home in the area lands around $9,000 to $12,000.
These are ranges from published cost guides. They are not our prices. Your exact price comes after a free roof inspection.
Why one roof costs more than another
Two houses on the same street can get very different prices. Here is why.
- Size. A bigger roof needs more shingles and more work.
- How steep it is. A steep roof is slower and harder to work on safely.
- How many layers are on it now. If there are two old layers, both have to come off.
- The wood under the shingles. Soft or rotten boards have to be replaced. You often cannot know this until the old roof comes off.
- Chimneys, skylights, and valleys. Each one takes more time and more flashing.
- The shingle you pick. Architectural shingles cost more than basic 3-tab.
Why the house's age matters in Gastonia
Half of the homes in Gastonia were built in 1978 or earlier, according to the U.S. Census. Many of them are on their second or third roof. Older homes are more likely to have soft wood or an extra layer of shingles, and both can change the price.
How to get your real number
- Fast estimate. We can measure your roof from satellite images and give you a quick idea.
- Free inspection. A roofer gets on the roof, takes photos and video, and texts them to you.
- Exact price. After the inspection, you get an exact price for your roof.
Paying for a new roof
A new roof is a big bill. You do not have to pay it all at once.
Pay over time. Financing is available at checkout, subject to approval. Most customers can see options in minutes. We also take card, ACH bank transfer, and Zelle.
Don't wait for the leak
If your roof is 15 years old or more, the best time to price it is before it leaks. A leak can mean wet wood and wet insulation, and that makes the job bigger.
