Four roof jobs

Four roofing jobs, and one question that tells them apart

Which job do you have: a whole roof, one damaged patch, a storm that just passed, or ice at the edge? Pick the closest match below and ask for a visit. An independent roofer will look and write you an estimate for the work they would do.

Questions

What owners ask across the four roof jobs

Which of these four jobs is the cheapest?

Prices come from the roofer, so we cannot rank these jobs by cost. The estimate sets the price for the job it describes, so ask for a repair and a replacement side by side.

Can a single visit look at two problems?

Often yes. Tell us everything you see, such as an eave stain and a torn section, and the roofer can write up each as its own line.

Do you do the roofing yourselves?

No. We help you choose and arrange a visit. An independent contractor does the looking, the estimate and any work you later hire them for.

Where do I read how the offer works?

The plain terms are on our Terms page. The roofer's own price stays whatever they quote.

The four jobs

What each job is for

Your situation

Match what you see to a job

Start with when it shows

Most people choose a service by how old the roof is. A better first question is when you notice trouble. A stain that appears only in a thaw usually starts at the eave, and the rest of the roof may be fine. Tell us the timing and we can name the right page for you.

Then ask what is under the shingles

The price of a new roof depends on what the roofer finds when the old one comes off. Ask any contractor whether the estimate tears off to the deck and what happens to damaged boards. The roof replacement page shows how to compare two estimates line by line.

Not sure which one you need?

Say what you have seen so far in the form, or talk it through by phone at (315) 640-3590. Ask the roofer to show the repair and the replacement together on one sheet, so you choose with both in writing. The gap tells you how much roof that roofer thinks you need, and where to ask a question.

Photos help every one of these jobs

Take daylight photos from the yard or a window of each slope, the edge where icicles hang and any stain inside, and date each one. Send them with your request or keep them for the visit. Stay off the roof.
