Roof replacement is one of those crucial investments that every homeowner in Arizona will likely face at some point. Understanding the true cost of roof replacement is essential for budgeting and ensuring the best quality for your investment. Roofstar is here to guide you through the financial aspects, so you can make an informed decision for your Mesa-Phoenix area home.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Roof Replacement

The cost of replacing your roof is influenced by a number of variables. Here’s what you need to take into account:

Roof Size and Slope: A larger roof will require more materials and labor, and a steep slope can make the job more complex and time-consuming.
Materials: The choice of roofing materials has a significant impact on the cost. Options like asphalt shingles, tiles, or metal vary widely in price.
Labor: Skilled labor is indispensable for a quality roof replacement, and the cost will depend on the complexity of the job.
Removal of Old Roof: The process of removing and disposing of the old roof can add to the overall cost.
Permits and Codes: Local building codes and permits in the Mesa-Phoenix area can also affect the price.
Additional Features: Things like skylights or chimneys will add complexity and cost to the replacement.

Typical Cost Breakdown

Excellent service! They install some bird barriers that other companies do not. They explained everything in easy to understand terms. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and reputable company.

Our experience with Roofstar was very professional from the moment someone came out for the quote. They were the only company to get on our roof when they were initially quoting us. We really appreciated how thorough and professional they were. The crew working on our roof was very timely, clean and efficient. The quality of the roof exceeded our expectations. We could not feel happier about how it turned out! We will always refer Roofstar Arizona to friends and family! Our neighbor is actually going to get theirs done now because they saw the quality we received!

After a monsoon storm ripped off half our asphalt shingles, I got several quotes from Valley roof companies. Roofstar impressed me with their quote, attention to detail, and quality photos showing the job as a whole. I went ahead used Roofstar, who replaced the entire roof while I was out of town and did a great job picking up the trash, sealing the A/C unit, and affixing new drip edges. I had a small issue with the new trim not matching the old color and the owner, Jeff, was kind enough to come back out and paint the trim himself. Would I recommend Roofstar to friends and family? SURE! They stand behind their work.

This is the second time I’ve used Roofstar for roof repairs. Jeff and Roofstar has been honest and fair with their prices compared to other companies however the big difference to me was with the customer service. Jeff Knudson, the owner, came out to our house personally to explain to me what the problem and the options were. Not everything was “urgent” or “required” to be repaired; some items were necessary and some were “nice to have” in order to prevent future repairs. I appreciated the honesty and the option to select the level of repairs that I needed and fit into my budget. Outside of some delays early on during the quote process, the work was completed timely and per the quote provided, no hidden fees or changes to the original quote. I am very happy with the work performed by Roofstar and will recommend Roofstar to any friends and neighbors requiring roof work.

The estimator, James, was very pleasant, thorough, and did a great job of explaining what was needed to repair our roof. We thought that the quoted cost was reasonable and decided to go with Roofstar. We are happy that we did. Juan Diaz and his crew did an outstanding job with the repair and cleanup. Everything was accomplished per the quote and at the quoted price. Very happy and will recommend Roofstar to any neighbors needing roof work.

Jeff Knudson and Roofstar Arizona, Inc. came recommended to us. Much time was spent with physical, hands on inspection of our roof and specific “problem areas”. Each issue was thoroughly explained and reasonable solution provided. Repair was scheduled within 24 hours of accepting offer. Repair agents arrived on time and introduced themselves and explained what they were going to do. At the end of day one, the supervisor stopped to check on progress and see if an early start the next morning was alright with us. Each day grounds were cleaned leaving no sign anyone was here. On final day the laborers let us know they were finished. Within an hour Jeff arrived and made many trips up the ladder to inspect and made a short list of things they needed to finish the next morning. Job done! EXTREMELY pleased with Roofstar’s service and recommend.

Very impressed with Jeff’s response to my concern over a rain caused leak in our ceiling.

Jeff arrived promptly in the a.m. for an evaluation, congenial, confident – integrity fully present. The same characteristics I respected, wanted and needed and had happily experienced the moment I met him. After observing the
rather slight damage to the ceiling we went to the roof where he promptly flattened himself atop the shingles and like a practiced detective began to assess shingles and flashing, etc, in order to create a likely scenario that might have generated a leak. His minute attention to detail was impressive.

Having isolated the potential problem he proceeded to caulk here and there. He also took the time to address other concerns that I had regarding roofing issues going forward.

All in all Jeff delivered the kind of prompt, competent service all homeowners seek, are entitled to, and hope for in a tradesman.

Thank you, Jeff for living the kind of values that make owning a home worth the while.

This is a great company to work with. Worked with them twice over a 10-year period and both great experiences. The last experience involved a very difficult leak in a sun room/solarium and the owner, Jeff, came out and hunted down the leak and made sure that it was resolved. Cannot recommend them high enough. Thank you to Jeff and the Roofstar team.

I want to extend my compliments to Santiago Sr & Jr. I really appreciated Santiago Sr’s sense of ’ownership’ with the job and recognize and am grateful for the effort that he and his son put into making sure the job was done well. They did excellent work! Thank you.
