What moves your price
Six factors set where your roof lands.
-
Roof size
Fixed costs spread over more squares, so larger roofs price lower.
-
Tear-off vs overlay
Each existing layer adds labor and carting to the tear-off line.
-
Deck condition
Rotted sheathing is billed per sheet, at the rate already quoted.
-
Height and access
Taller buildings without stair access need a hoist, which raises the access line.
-
Flashing and drainage
Parapets, curbs and rooftop units add linear feet of flashing.
-
Permits and debris
Building permits, the street permit for the container and carting fees fill the flat line.
Why building type shifts the per-square figure
Rowhouses are small, so permits and access weigh heavily against twenty or thirty squares. Apartment buildings and co-ops add crew, hoisting and protection for tenants under the deck.
Mixed-use and retail roofs carry exhaust fans and units that need flashing. Warehouses run large and open. That pulls the price toward the low end.

When the price can change, you see it first
Rotted plywood or wet plank found under the tear-off is the usual cause. The per-sheet deck rate is already fixed on your quote.
We photograph the damage, show it to you or your board, and start extra work only after a signed change order. Here is what we do when rotted decking turns up under the tear-off.
