Residential roof costs vary based on size, pitch, material choice, and complexity. Most homes in our area range from $8,000 to $25,000. We provide free written estimates with no obligation. During your estimate, we'll explain all costs clearly so there are no surprises.

For our Gulf Coast climate, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance and high wind ratings. They hold up well against our heat, humidity, and hurricane-force winds. We work with top brands like GAF, Certainteed, IKO, Atlas & others. During your estimate, we'll discuss options that fit your budget and home style.

That depends on your roof's age and condition. If your roof is less than 15 years old and damage is localized, repairs often make more sense. We'll give you an honest assessment. We're not here to sell you a new roof if repairs will work, we want to be your roofer for the long haul, not just this one job.

We take cleanup seriously. We surround your home with tarps, covering your plants.
