GUIDE / PRICES
What a roof
costs here,
in numbers.
Our own typical prices, as of October 2026. Not a national average and not a teaser rate: what we bid on Phoenix-area roofs, with tear-off and disposal already in them.
HOW TO READ THEM
“A square is 100 square feet of roof. A 2,000 square foot roof is 20 squares.”
01 / THE PRICES
Per square,
by type
of job.
These are our typical prices for a straightforward roof. Your own price comes from measuring your roof, which is what the free inspection is for. Section 04 lists what moves a price up.
| Job | Typical Atlas price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Tile underlayment replacement | $450 per square | Your tile is lifted, new underlayment goes down, the same tile goes back. |
| Tile roof with new tile | $1,250 per square | New underlayment and all-new tile. |
| Shingle roof | $400–$500 per square | The old shingles torn off and a new shingle roof installed. |
| Foam roof recoat | $350 per square | A new protective coating over existing foam that is still sound. |
| New foam roof | $750 per square | New sprayed foam and its coating. |
| Metal roof | $1,500–$2,000 per square | A new standing seam or stone-coated steel roof, on a home or a commercial building. Metal roofing. |
| Roof repairs | Priced per job | Small roof repairs and leak repairs on tile, shingle, foam and flat roofs, including slipped or broken tile and flashing. Roof repair. |
| Solar panels | $150 per panel | Detaching and resetting panels so the roof can be done. How that works. |
Prices as of October 2026. Material costs move, so the date is here to show how current they are.
02 / FOR A WHOLE ROOF
What 20 squares
comes to.
A 20-square roof is 2,000 square feet of roof surface. At the prices above:
01
Tile underlayment replacement.
$9,000
02
Tile roof with new tile.
$25,000
03
Shingle roof.
$8,000–$10,000
04
Foam roof recoat.
$7,000
05
New foam roof.
$15,000
06
Metal roof.
$30,000–$40,000
07
Plus 20 solar panels.
$3,000
Your roof is not the same size as your house. Overhangs and pitch add roof area, and a two-story home has much less roof than its floor area suggests. We measure it rather than estimate it from the listing.
03 / WHAT IS IN THE PRICE
In the number,
not added
afterward.
Each price covers the whole job of that type, including the parts that quotes often list separately:
- Tear-off and disposal — removing the old roof where the job replaces it, and hauling it away
- Flashing — at valleys, walls and penetrations
- Underlayment — on tile and shingle roofs, the layer that keeps the water out
Solar panels are the one thing priced separately, because the cost depends on how many you have: $150 per panel, on the same quote.
04 / WHAT RAISES IT
Five things
that make a job
cost more.
The typical prices above are for a straightforward roof. These are what move a price above them, and the inspection is where you find out whether your roof has any of them.
01
Damaged decking.
The boards under the roof can only be seen once it is open. Rotten or broken sections have to be replaced before anything goes on top.
02
A second story.
More height means more setup, more safety equipment and slower handling of every bundle and tile.
03
A steep pitch.
A steep roof is slower to work on and needs more fall protection.
04
Broken tile.
Some tile is already cracked and some breaks in handling. Replacements have to be found and matched to what is on the roof.
05
Difficult access.
Where materials and equipment cannot get close to the house, everything takes longer.
05 / THE BIGGEST DECISION ON TILE
$450 or
$1,250
a square.
On a tile roof, re-laying your own tile instead of buying new takes almost two-thirds off the price. Sound tile can usually go back on; failing, obsolete or unmatched tile cannot. Two quotes for the same tile roof can be far apart simply because one assumes new tile. How to tell which a quote has priced.
06 / COMMON QUESTIONS
About the
numbers.
Why price per square?
It is how roofs are measured and how materials are ordered, so it lets you set our figure beside anyone else’s. Compare what each price includes as well, or you are comparing different jobs.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. No charge and no obligation. It is where your actual price comes from, because it is where the roof is measured and what is under it is assessed.
Do you charge to move solar panels?
$150 per panel to detach and reset them. We coordinate it with your solar company or an independent licensed contractor. More on solar and a new roof.
Do you do small roof repairs?
Yes. We repair roofs as well as replace them, from a single slipped tile or a leak around a vent to flashing and foam roof repairs. A repair is priced for the job after a free inspection, not per square. More on roof repair.
Will my price match this page?
For a straightforward roof, it should be in line with it. If your roof has any of the five things in section 04, the inspection is where you find out by how much.
Want your actual number?
A free inspection measures your roof and tells you which of these jobs it needs.
