Re-roof your home the smart way.
Re-roofing can save money over a full tear-off - when your roof is a good fit for it. We match you with a few vetted local pros who tell you straight.
Reviewed by Michael ThompsonRe-roofing - laying new shingles over your old ones - costs about $4,500-$14,000 in 2026, less than a full tear-off. It only works if your roof has one shingle layer and a sound deck. HomeMatchup matches you with a few vetted local pros who check your roof and tell you honestly whether an overlay or a full replacement is the smarter call. It is free, with no pressure.
What does re-roofing include?
Every vetted pro does the job by the book, so it's done right the first time.
An honest check first
Your pro checks your layers and deck to see if an overlay is even safe - no overlay on a bad roof.
New shingles over old
If it qualifies, new shingles go over the existing layer, saving tear-off labor and dump fees.
Fresh flashing where needed
Your pro replaces worn flashing and seals the weak spots so the new layer keeps water out.
A clear price
You see the cost before work starts, and an honest take on overlay vs. full replacement.
