Factors That Affect Your Roofing Cost
- Roof Size: Measured in roofing squares (1 square = 100 sq ft). Larger roofs cost more in total but may have a lower per-square-foot cost.
- Roof Pitch and Complexity: Steeper roofs and roofs with many valleys, dormers, or skylights require more labor and safety equipment.
- Material Choice: Asphalt shingles are the most affordable. Metal roofing costs more upfront but saves money long-term.
- Tear-Off Layers: Removing multiple existing layers adds to the cost. South Carolina building code limits roof layers to two.
- Decking Repairs: Rotted or water-damaged decking must be replaced before new roofing is installed. This is common in our humid climate.
- Accessibility: Multi-story homes and homes with limited access around the perimeter may require additional equipment.
Tips to Save on Your Roofing Project
- Get at least three quotes from licensed, insured contractors
- Schedule your project during fall or winter when demand is lower
- Ask about financing options to spread the cost
- Check with your insurance company for storm damage coverage
- Consider metal roofing for long-term savings on replacements and energy
- Bundle your roof and gutter installation for potential package savings

Is metal roofing worth the extra cost?
Metal roofing costs two to three times more than asphalt shingles upfront, but it lasts 50 or more years compared to 20 to 30 years for shingles. When you factor in energy savings and potential insurance discounts, metal roofing often has a lower total cost of ownership over the life of your home.
