Tips

  • Confirm whether your re-roof needs one or two inspections before applying — the fee differs ($60 vs $80) and is tied to that inspection count.
  • If your roof pitch is 12:12 or steeper and uses metal shingles or panels, mechanical snow barriers are a mandatory code requirement, not optional — plan for the material and installation cost.
