Quick answer: The cost of a roof in Flagler County depends on size, pitch, material, how much rotten decking turns up, permits and access. Shingle is usually the most budget-friendly, metal costs more up front and lasts longer, and tile is typically the biggest investment. The only honest number comes from measuring your roof, so estimates are free.

Shingle vs metal vs tile on cost
Although shingles tend to be less expensive upfront, currently the insurance company wants you to replace your shingle roof every 15 years. Most insurance companies will leave a tile roof for 25 years, and a coated standing seam metal roof can last for 50 years. Please check with your insurance company to verify what they allow.
Metal options
Exposed fastener is the least expensive initially, but will cost $3,000 to $5,000 every 10 years and should be inspected every 7 years. The fasteners get dry and break down. With a standing seam roof there is little to no maintenance other than rinsing it twice a year, and it can last up to 50 years, making it the least expensive if you think about it.
Comparing quotes
To be honest, most roofing companies pay the fair market price for materials, so legitimate estimates should be within $1,000 of each other. Anything greater is suspicious and a reason to question your estimates. If you need help understanding what your estimate includes, please call us.
