Six things that move your number
- 01
Roof size and steepness
Steeper roofs have more surface and need more safety setup and labor.
- 02
Layers to tear off
Two or three old layers take longer to remove and cost more to dispose of.
- 03
Decking repairs
Rotted plywood has to be replaced before the new roof goes on. You only know once the old roof is off.
- 04
Shingle line and warranty
Architectural and designer shingles, and the higher warranty tiers, cost more up front.
- 05
Chimneys, skylights, dormers
Every penetration and wall needs flashing, which adds time and material.
- 06
Access and logistics
Tight lots, attached houses and street permits for dumpsters all add cost in the city.

What a fair roof replacement quote includes
- Full tear-off to the deck, and a stated allowance or price for replacing rotted plywood.
- Ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, and synthetic underlayment everywhere else.
- New drip edge, step and chimney flashing, and pipe boots, not reused old metal.
- Ridge or attic ventilation checked and corrected.
- The shingle line and color, and which manufacturer warranty it qualifies for.
- Permits, dumpster, cleanup and a magnetic nail sweep.
Tip: when comparing quotes, line them up item by item. A lower total often means something above is missing. See what's included in a B&B roof replacement.
Repair instead?
If the roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is in one area, a repair may be the better value. See roof repair or take the 60-second roof check.

Roof cost questions

On Staten Island, asphalt shingle replacement averages about $5–$8 per square foot installed, or about $8,100–$12,700 for a basic 1,500 sq ft roof. Your price depends on your roof; the free estimate gives you an exact number in writing.
Why do roofing quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: full tear-off or a roof-over, how much decking is allowed for, underlayment and ice and water shield, new flashing, ventilation, and the warranty. Compare line by line, not just the total.
Is it cheaper to put a new roof over the old one?
It can cost less up front, but it hides the deck, adds weight, and the top manufacturer warranties require a full tear-off. We recommend tear-off on almost every job.
Does B&B offer financing?
Yes. Flexible financing available. Ask about payment options.

On Staten Island, flat roofs average about $8–$13 per square foot installed for TPO, $6.50–$11 for EPDM and $8–$14 for modified bitumen. See flat roofing.
