Roofing, a roof you stop thinking about

It usually starts with a stain on the ceiling that was not there last winter. The hard part is not the work - it is that every roofing company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Roofing in short

A roof replacement takes most crews 3-5 days once materials are on site, and asphalt shingle - the choice on the majority of US homes - typically runs $6,000-$18,000 installed depending on size, pitch and tear-off.

The three things that move your price most are roof area, how many layers have to come off, and the material you pick. Everything else is noise.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the roofing companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation - confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

What people say after they’ve hired

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first roofing review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

  • Only from homeowners we actually matched
  • Only after the job is complete
  • Published unedited, including the bad ones

FAQ

Roofing questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about roofing.

Fixr puts the national average near $10,000, with most projects between $7,500 and $14,000, or roughly $3.75-$11 per square foot. This Old House’s 2026 figures put standard asphalt on a 2,000 sq ft roof around $8,419-$11,665 and architectural asphalt around $11,914-$16,436. Material and complexity move the range more than brand alone.
Repair if the roof is comfortably within its service life and damage is localized. Replace if it is near end of life, leaking in several places, or shows widespread granule loss and curling. Fixr puts asphalt shingle life at 20-30 years - a 20-plus-year-old asphalt roof with multiple leaks is usually a replacement, not a patch.
Fixr puts asphalt shingles at 20-30 years, metal at 50-70, clay and concrete tile at up to 100, and slate at up to 150. Climate, ventilation, installation quality, and storm history move outcomes as much as material marketing claims.
Fixr puts labor at 40-60% of a typical replacement. This Old House reports that over 70% of its 2026 survey respondents named labor as the biggest single cost driver. Steep pitch, multiple stories, and difficult access all push labor up.
Fixr puts tear-off and disposal at roughly $50-$150 per roofing square (100 sq ft of roof surface). On a 25-square roof that is about $1,250-$3,750, and it should appear as its own line - not hidden inside a lump sum.

The wrong roofing hire costs more than the right one.

Roofing is the trade with the most storm-chasers, and the failure shows up years later - after the crew, the phone number and the warranty are all gone. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
