UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVESTMENT
What Actually Drives Roofing Costs
The real question isn't just "how much does a roof cost?" It's "what am I paying for and why?" Here's what actually goes into the number on your final estimate.
Size and Pitch
Bigger roofs need more materials and labor. Steeper pitches need more safety setup and slow the crew down. Both are real cost factors.
Material Choice
Standard architectural shingles cost less than Class 4 impact-resistant. Metal costs more than asphalt. The right choice depends on your home, your budget, and the look you want.
Complexity
Dormers, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and multiple roof pitches all take extra work. A simple ranch is cheaper to roof than a complex two-story.
Under the Shingles
If your plywood sheeting is rotted or damaged, it needs replacement before shingles go on. We can't know for sure until tear-off, so the estimate could be adjusted if needed.
Ventilation and Ice & Water
Proper attic ventilation and ice and water shield are non-negotiable in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Permits and Disposal
Local permits and dumping fees for tear-off material add up. We handle both and include the cost in your estimate. No surprise fees.
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING
Your Good Faith Estimate, Explained
A good faith estimate is what the name suggests. Our honest starting number based on the information we have so far. It's not a lowball to hook you in, and it's not padded with margin we know we'll shave off later. Think of it as the number to start planning around, not the final invoice.
The instant quote you get above uses aerial imagery to measure your roof, combined with our current pricing on materials and labor. That gives you a solid baseline to work from. The final estimate comes after our free on-site inspection, where we can walk your roof, check your entire roofing system, and identify anything special about your home. That's when the baseline becomes a firm written proposal you can hold onto.
What's included in every Buildtec estimate
Materials and Labor. Full line-item breakdown.
Permits and disposal. Handled by us. Included in the total.
Any known repairs. If we can see decking issues, flashing problems, or ventilation needs from the inspection, they're in the estimate up front.
Warranty coverage. Manufacturer's warranty on materials plus our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on the install.
What you won't find in a Buildtec estimate: hidden fees, mystery charges, or surprises on the invoice. If something changes during the project, we tell you before we do the work. That's how we keep it straight from start to finish.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Instant Quote FAQs
The instant quote is a baseline. It uses aerial imagery of your roof plus our current pricing to give you a solid starting point, but it's not a final firm price. That comes after our free on-site inspection, where we can check things a satellite can't see like the decking, flashing details, and any special work your home might need.
No. The instant quote is free, and so is the on-site inspection that follows. You're not signing anything, not committing to anything, and not obligated to move forward. Get the quote, think about it, and decide what makes sense for you.
You enter your address and the tool pulls the satellite view of your home. From there, you select your shingle brand, color, and answer a few quick questions about your project. The system generates a baseline quote using aerial measurements and current Buildtec pricing. Takes about 30 seconds.
Because a satellite can only see so much. It can measure your roof size and pitch, but it can't tell us the condition of your decking, whether your flashing is failing, or if your ventilation needs work. Those details show up in the on-site inspection and can change the final number either way. That's why we call it a baseline.
Yes. You can see how different shingle brands, colors, and product tiers affect your baseline quote. Compare GAF and Owens Corning options and see how each affects pricing before you talk to anyone.
Most projects can be scheduled within 2-4 weeks of signing. Spring and early summer schedules book faster. Fall installs often have shorter wait times. Emergency work like active leaks always gets moved to the top of the list.
Yes. Buildtec installs siding across the East Metro and Western Wisconsin, including LP SmartSide, James Hardie, vinyl, and metal. See our siding page for details on materials and project examples.
Every roof we install comes with the manufacturer's warranty on the shingles plus our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on the install itself. No expiration date, no fine print, no runaround. Just a real family-owned company you can call if something ever needs attention.
