Does Removing Two Layers of Shingles Cost More?

If an older roof has multiple layers of shingles, replacement can require substantially more tear-off labor and disposal than a roof with only one layer. The Lane House guide estimates that removing a second layer can add roughly $50–$100 per roofing square to a project.

Knowing what's already on your roof is an important part of creating an accurate estimate. If you're considering roof replacement in Mehlville or St. Louis South County, call Lane House Roofing & Exteriors to have your roof professionally evaluated.

Does Roof Pitch Increase Replacement Cost?

Yes. A steep roof generally costs more to replace because installation takes longer and requires additional safety precautions. Once roofs reach steeper pitches, staging, harnesses, and slower production can increase labor costs even when two roofs have approximately the same surface area.

South County and St. Louis homes come in all shapes, ages, and roof designs, so pricing should be based on your actual property. Lane House Roofing & Exteriors can evaluate your roof's pitch and complexity and explain how they affect your project. Call to request an estimate.
