Roofing prices in San Jose
No price is published here, because a figure given before the roof has been read would be invented. The roofer sets the price on site and writes it into a scope, line by line.
Two jobs that sound the same on the phone can differ widely on the roof. A stain in a ceiling can be a valley that needs a re-line or a deck that needs a strip, and the two scopes cannot be compared directly.
The table names the drivers of the quote. It does not name a figure for any of them.
| Driver | Why it moves the quote |
|---|---|
| Layers and deck | One layer on a firm deck may recover; two or more usually mean a strip |
| Exposure | Wet-season storms, valley sun and bay damp each change the metal and the fixings |
| Storm faults | Valleys, flashings and outlets that a long wet spell has opened add their own lines |
| Access | Narrow lots, steep foothill slopes and shared stairs add time and equipment |
| Scope lines | Each line in the scope can be checked, and a total without lines cannot |

Five things that move your quote
Layers and the deck
The count of coverings and the state of the deck decide whether a job is a repair, a recover or a strip. The attic shows what the covering hides.
Storm and drainage
Valleys, flashings and outlets that water has reached are named in the scope with the reason for each.
Trees and slope
Shade, debris and a steep slope change the materials and the access, and the scope names them.
Access and protection
The route for materials, the protection of the walls and yard and the notice to neighbors are lines of the scope.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a rough figure on the phone?
No. A figure given without seeing the roof would be a guess. The roofer reads the roof and writes the scope.
Why does the scope list each line?
So two scopes can be laid side by side and compared on the same lines. A total with no lines cannot be checked.
