Does insurance pay for a new roof in Tacoma?
Homeowner insurance usually pays for roof damage caused by a sudden event — a windstorm that tears off shingles, hail, or a falling tree — but not for normal wear and age. If a storm hit your roof, we document the damage with photos, meet your adjuster, and write a scope that matches the insurance line items. On an approved claim, most homeowners pay only their deductible. If your roof is simply old, insurance generally won't cover it, and a planned replacement is the better route.
Financing a new roof
A roof is a big purchase, and many Tacoma homeowners spread the cost out. Ask Curtis about payment options when you book your free inspection — he can walk you through what's available for your project. Getting an accurate price first, from a real roof measurement, makes it much easier to plan the budget.
How to get an exact price for your roof
Online averages are a starting point, but your roof's real size matters most. Our instant quote measures your roof from satellite imagery and applies the same per-square-foot ranges shown above, so you see a realistic range for your own house in about a minute. From there, a free on-site inspection confirms pitch, layers and decking so your final written price has no surprises.
What's included in our roof replacement cost guide
- Tear-off of all existing roofing layers and disposal
- Replacement of soft or rotted roof decking (priced per sheet if needed)
- Synthetic underlayment plus ice & water shield in valleys and eaves
- New drip edge, pipe boots and step flashing
- Ridge and intake ventilation sized for your attic
- Manufacturer material warranty plus our 10-year workmanship warranty
- Magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup
What changes the price of a new roof
- Roof pitch: steep roofs need more safety gear and labor
- Layers: each extra layer of old shingles adds tear-off cost
- Complexity: valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys add flashing work
- Decking condition: rot found during tear-off is replaced as needed
- Material: architectural shingles vs. metal vs. specialty products
Materials
Architectural asphalt shingles are the value choice for most Tacoma homes and the basis of the $7.00–$10.50 per square foot range. Standing-seam metal typically costs about 1.8 to 2.5 times an asphalt roof, but it can last 40–60 years and sheds moss and fir needles better. Cedar shake replacements are priced like a shingle reroof plus extra tear-off and re-sheathing, since shake roofs usually sit on spaced boards.
Built for Pacific NW weather
Our wet climate affects cost in a few ways. Good roofs here need full ice & water shield in valleys and eaves, proper attic ventilation to control condensation, and moss-resistant shingles under heavy tree cover. Skipping these items makes a quote look cheaper, but it is the most common reason Pacific Northwest roofs fail early — so compare quotes line by line.
Typical timeline
Most Tacoma reroofs take 1–3 days once materials are delivered. You can get a price range in about 60 seconds with our satellite-measured instant quote, then book a free inspection to lock in an exact written price.

Excellent work. Worked non stop each day to complete the job in a few days. Did a lot of repairs along the way to make sure it was going to last. Highly Recommend.

The house I rent needed a new roof. The owners live out of state, so I volunteered to find a good contractor. By word of mouth, I found DHT and we could not be happier with the result.

Roof Replacement Cost Guide FAQ
How much does a new roof cost in Tacoma?
Most asphalt shingle replacements in Tacoma run about $7.00–$10.50 per square foot of roof, or roughly $9,500–$22,000 for a typical home. Metal costs about 1.8–2.5 times more.
Why do roof quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ on tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing and ventilation. A cheap quote often leaves out ice & water shield, new flashing or deck repair. Compare what's included, not just the total.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement?
Insurance usually covers sudden storm, hail or tree damage, not age and wear. We document damage and meet your adjuster; on approved claims most homeowners pay their deductible.
