Why tile roof installation quotes vary — and how to compare them fairly
Two contractors can price the same job thousands apart. Almost always it's the scope each assumed — here's what drives the gap and how to close it.
Why a quote looks high (or low)
- A storm-chaser's lowball often skips flashing, ice-and-water shield or a real warranty.
- Shingle tier (3-tab vs. architectural vs. premium) changes both material and labor.
- Deck repair, underlayment grade and ventilation may or may not be in the price.
Get an apples-to-apples bid
- Verify the contractor is licensed, insured and local, with recent references.
- Compare the workmanship warranty, not just the material warranty.
- Ask how deck/sheathing repairs are priced if rot is found.
- Specify tear-off vs. overlay so all bids match.
Questions to ask Paradise Roofing pros
The only honest way to compare is to hold every quote to one checklist. Start with these.
- 1Is a full tear-off included, or are you laying over the existing roof?
- 2How will you handle deck repairs or rotten sheathing found after tear-off, and at what rate?
- 3What underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and ventilation are included?
- 4Are you licensed and insured here, and can you share recent local references?
- 5What's the workmanship warranty, and how does it interact with the material warranty?

Where does a smart roofing budget go in 2026?
Roofing budgets swing on decisions most homeowners don't think to ask about — overlay vs. tear-off, shingle tier, deck condition. Our editors break down each one.
The do-it-right case
Skipping the tear-off means burying whatever's failing underneath, and a second layer bakes the shingles from below until they curl early. Doing it properly means stripping to the deck, then paying for real underlayment, flashing and airflow — the work that sets how long the roof lasts, not just how it looks the first week.
The risk case
Nail down the per-sheet decking rate in writing before anyone climbs up. Soft or rotted plywood is the most common mid-job discovery, and without an agreed number the crew names the price after they've already found the damage — turning a cheap quote into an open tab.
The value case
Architectural shingles sit between bargain 3-tab and premium metal or tile, and for most houses that middle ground is exactly right. They carry longer wind and wear ratings than 3-tab for a small step up in price, without the four-figure jump metal or tile demands.
Insist on tear-off over overlay, get the deck-repair rate in writing before work starts, and lean toward architectural shingles. Skipping any of the three tends to cost more later than it saves now.
