Roof work prices by the failure and the square, which makes it legible once the vocabulary is clear. Published national guides put minor repairs at $150 to $450, leak repairs at $350 to $1,200, and emergency tarping at $200 to $1,000. Replacement is priced per square foot installed: roughly $3.50 to $6.00 for asphalt shingles and $9 to $16 for metal.
In Spring, read every cost through the claim lens this market runs on. A patch after a named storm is a claim document with a price attached; the same patch in a quiet month is a maintenance line. Per square foot anchors hold either way, shingles at roughly $3.50 to $6.00 installed, metal at $9 to $16, but the variable that moves Spring totals is tier: the master planned northwest prices its cut-up rooflines differently from the older community's simple planes, and an honest quote says which tier it measured.
What moves a specific quote: pitch and height (labor), how much decking is found failed under the tear off, the component that failed, and timing, since storm weeks price emergency work as emergency work across the whole market.
The decision rule mirrors the rest of the trades: when repairs in a short window total a third to a half of a replacement, and the roof's age says more failures are queued, replacement usually wins. Ask for both numbers in writing, with decking priced per sheet so the tear off holds no surprises.
