What drives the price of a new roof
- Size. Roofs are priced by the "square" (100 square feet of roof). More squares, more material and labor.
- Pitch and complexity. Steep roofs, multiple stories, valleys, dormers and skylights take more time and safety equipment.
- Tear-off. Removing one layer of old shingles costs less than removing two.
- Shingle choice. Standard architectural shingles cost less than Class 4 impact-resistant or designer shingles.
- Decking. Rotted or damaged plywood under the shingles has to be replaced. You often can't know how much until the old roof comes off.
- Ventilation and flashing. Bringing vents, flashing and drip edge up to code is part of doing the job right.
- Permits. Re-roofs in the Pikes Peak region need a PPRBD permit and inspections. Triumph pulls them on every build.
If insurance is paying
If hail or wind damaged your roof and your claim is approved, your insurance company pays for the replacement based on its estimate, and you pay your deductible. In Colorado it is illegal for a roofer to pay, waive or rebate your deductible, so be wary of anyone who offers. Learn more in our roof insurance claim guide.
If you're paying out of pocket
Not every old roof has storm damage. If yours simply has worn out, we'll give you a written quote with options, and you can spread the cost into monthly payments through our financing partners (third-party lenders, subject to credit approval).
How to compare roofing quotes
- Make sure every quote includes the same shingle line, underlayment, ventilation and tear-off.
- Ask how damaged decking is priced, per sheet, so there are no surprises.
- Check the roofer's license (in the Pikes Peak region, look them up with PPRBD) and insurance.
- Ask who handles permits and inspections.
- Get the workmanship warranty in writing.
