What a roof costs 
in Ohio. Written down where you can read it.

We are one of the only roofing companies in Ohio that publishes its pricing. Below are honest ranges for every service we offer, plus what actually pushes a number higher or lower. If a real quote falls outside our published range, we will tell you why, in writing.

Why most roofers won't do this, and why we do. 

Roofing prices have been hidden for decades. The industry standard is "schedule an inspection and we will tell you the price in person". There are three reasons for that, and none of them are good for the homeowner:  

Right-Arrow

It lets contractors charge more to customers who do not know the range. 

Right-Arrow

It filters out "price shoppers," which in practice means customers who are doing their due diligence. 

Right-Arrow

It is just how it has always been done, and nobody has bothered to change it. 

We publish our pricing because we think a better-informed customer is a better customer to work with. If our number is wrong for your situation, we would rather you know before we drive over than after. And if you find a roofer who will beat our price, we want you to have enough information to figure out why, because usually the reason is somewhere in the underlayment, the flashing, or the warranty.

Why do roofs range in price?

SCHEDULE A FREE INSPECTION
1.
Roof Square Footage (Not House Size)

Your 2,000 sq ft house does not have a 2,000 sq ft roof. Pitch and overhang usually add 20% to 30%. We measure off satellite imagery and confirm on-site.

2.
Pitch (How Steep the Roof Is)

A 12/12 pitch roof needs more safety equipment, more labor time, and sometimes scaffolding. A flat-ish 4/12 roof is faster and less labor-intensive to install. Same materials, meaningfully different labor cost. 

3.
Material Choice

Architectural asphalt, designer shingles, stone-coated metal, standing seam metal. The spread between basic architectural and premium metal is substantial due to material and installation requirements.

4.
Tear-off vs. layover

A layover (new shingles over old) is cheaper but almost always voids manufacturer warranties and traps moisture underneath. We almost never recommend it. Every quote assumes a full tear-off unless you ask otherwise.

5.
Decking condition

When we tear off the old shingles, we sometimes find rotten wood decking underneath. Replacing it is priced into your contract at a fixed per-sheet rate, so if we find 4 sheets of bad decking, you see the exact line item before we install new wood. No surprises at invoice time.

6.
Complexity

Valleys, dormers, chimneys, skylights, satellite dishes, solar panels, every penetration needs custom flashing. A simple gable roof is simpler than a cut-up roof with 6 valleys and 3 dormers, even at the same square footage.

What you sign is what you pay.

Our Pricing

  • Fixed written quote before you sign, not a range, not a ballpark.
  • Any unexpected work (bad decking, rotten fascia) is priced into the contract at a fixed per-unit rate. We show you the issue before we fix it.
  • No change orders without your written approval.
  • Price includes permit fees, disposal, and landscape protection.
  • Financing is optional, no rolled-in financing costs hidden in the base price.

What you’ll see elsewhere

  • "Up to $3,000 off!" promotions that bake the markup back into the base price.
  • "We will beat any quote by 10%", usually by cutting materials (thinner underlayment, cheaper flashing, no ice-and-water shield past code minimum).
  • "We will cover your deductible", this is insurance fraud, and the homeowner is the one held liable.
  • Vague ranges on the initial quote followed by unexpected change orders that land you at the top.

If you get a cheaper quote, ask these three questions before you sign it.

01
What brand 
and grade of underlayment?

Synthetic (good) or felt (cheap)? Full-coverage or just the eaves? This is where cheap roofs leak first.

02
How far does 
the ice-and-water shield go?

Ohio code requires 24 inches past the exterior wall. We go further. Cheap roofs stop at code minimum, which is where ice dams find the decking.

03
Is it step flashing 
at the walls, or a continuous strip?

Continuous flashing is faster to install 
and the reason most 10-year-old roofs
leak at chimneys and sidewalls. We 
step-flash everything.

If a competitor's quote is meaningfully cheaper than ours, it is almost always because of one of those three. Ask. Get the answer in writing. Then compare like-for-like. 

Can't pay cash? Financing starts at $0 down.

We work with multiple financing partners to offer flexible terms, promotional 0% options, fixed-rate installment loans, and longer-term reduced-rate plans. No money down options are frequently available for qualified homeowners. Checking your options is a soft credit pull only, so seeing your rate will not affect your credit score.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Pricing

Why are these price ranges so wide?

+
Rectangle 145

Two reasons. First, roofs vary a lot, a 1,500 sq ft ranch and a 3,500 sq ft cut-up colonial are both single-family Ohio homes, but they are thousands of dollars apart. Second, material matters, architectural shingles and standing seam metal on the same roof differ significantly. A real written quote narrows it down to a single fixed number. 

Are these ranges for my specific city?

+
Rectangle 145

Yes, they are our actual ranges for Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati markets. We do not charge more in higher-income ZIP codes. The scope and rate you receive in Oakwood is the exact same scope and rate you receive in Trotwood. 

What if my real quote is higher than the range you publish?

+
Rectangle 145

Tell us, and we will walk you through exactly why. Reasons it can happen include a very large roof, steep pitch, extensive decking replacement, specialty materials, or complex flashing (such as multiple chimneys, dormers, and skylights). If we cannot explain it clearly in one conversation, we are doing something wrong. 

Do you negotiate on price?

+
Rectangle 145

Not on price, we are not marked up to leave room for haggling. We negotiate on scope: if your quote is over budget, we can talk about different shingle lines, phasing the work, or financing terms. We will not cut corners on flashing or underlayment to hit a number. 

Why don't your competitors publish prices?

+
Rectangle 145

Mostly because they never have, and changing is hard. Some will tell you it is because "every roof is different," but so is every car, and manufacturers manage to publish baseline pricing. The real reason is usually that in-person estimates allow contractors to flex pricing based on how much they think a customer will pay. We do not work that way.
