What drives the price of roofing in Birmingham
Two roofing contractors can quote the same job and land hundreds of dollars apart, because the price is set less by the company than by the work itself. For roofing, the factors that move the number most are:
- Roof size in squares and the pitch.
- A full tear-off versus an overlay.
- Shingle grade and underlayment.
- Flashing, decking repair, and permits.
Before you compare quotes, write down your version of each of these. When every roofing contractors prices the identical scope, the cheapest bid is finally a real deal rather than a different, smaller job in disguise.
