Why Berkeley is Berkeley
Older homes, steep hills, and a lot of character. Berkeley roofs reward a roofer who has done this exact street before.
What moves the number
- 1How steep and how cut up the roof is. A simple ranch roof is cheaper than the same square footage with dormers and valleys.
- 2Material. Standard shingles sit at the bottom of the range. Designer shingles, tile and metal climb from there.
- 3How many old layers come off. Tear-off is real labor and real dump fees, and it is where cheap quotes quietly skip a step.
- 4Access. If the crew cannot park a truck near the house, you pay for the walking.
