Cost information on this site is educational. Actual pricing depends on your roof, materials, access and local labour rates, and can only be established by a written quote from a licensed contractor who has inspected the property.
What drives the price
- Policy deductible
- Some Virginia policies carry a separate, percentage-based hurricane or wind deductible. Check your declarations page.
- Replacement cost vs actual cash value
- ACV policies pay depreciated value, which can leave a large gap.
- Matching
- Whether undamaged slopes must be replaced to match is a common point of dispute.
- Code upgrade coverage
- Bringing a roof up to current code may or may not be covered depending on the policy.
- Related damage
- Interior water damage, gutters, siding and insulation are often separate line items.
Why two quotes differ
- Adjuster scopes and contractor scopes routinely differ; reconcile them in writing before work begins.
- Never accept an offer to waive or absorb your deductible.
