Detailed Pricing by Service
Roof Replacement (Asphalt Shingles): $4,100 – $25,500 (Average: $14,727)
A full roof replacement is the most common large job. The wide range comes down to one thing above everything else: how big is your roof?
What’s included at the base price ($4,100-$8,000):
- Tear-off and disposal of existing roofing
- New decking inspection (repairs extra if needed)
- Ice and water shield underlayment
- Standard asphalt shingles (30-year)
- Flashing around vents, pipes, and edges
- Cleanup and haul-away
What pushes the price up:
- Larger roof – every additional 100 sq ft adds $400-$600
- Steep pitch (above 6:12 slope) – adds $1,000-$3,000 for safety equipment and labor
- Decking damage – rotted plywood adds $75-$150 per sheet replaced
- Multiple layers to remove – a second layer of old shingles adds $500-$1,500
- Premium materials – architectural shingles add $500-$2,000 over standard

Metal Roofing: $9,490 – $25,000 (Average: $10,897)
Metal roofing costs more upfront but lasts 40-70 years compared to 20-30 for asphalt. For Yakima homeowners planning to stay long-term, the math often works in metal’s favor.
| Material | Cost per Square | Lifespan | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel panels (exposed fastener) | $400-$600 | 30-40 years | Budget metal option |
| Standing seam steel | $700-$1,000 | 40-70 years | Premium residential |
| Aluminum | $600-$900 | 40-60 years | Coastal or humid areas |
| Copper | $2,500-$3,500 | 70-100 years | High-end custom |
Roof Repair: $300 – $3,000 (Average: $800)
Most roof repairs fall in the $300-$1,500 range. The main variables are how many spots need fixing and whether the decking underneath is damaged.
| Repair Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Single leak fix / flashing repair | $300-$600 |
| Shingle replacement (small area) | $400-$1,000 |
| Valley repair | $500-$1,200 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $500-$1,500 |
| Larger leak with decking damage | $1,000-$3,000 |
Emergency Roof Repair: $500 – $5,000 (Average: $1,500)
Emergency calls carry a premium because they require same-day response and often after-hours work. Fast response limits damage to insulation, drywall, and structural framing – which costs far more to fix than the roof itself.
Storm & Hail Damage Repair: $500 – $15,000 (Average: $5,000)
Yakima sees hail and windstorms regularly. Most homeowner policies cover hail and wind damage. Yakima Roofing assists with insurance documentation and works alongside your adjuster.
Flat Roofing (TPO / EPDM / PVC): $5,000 – $20,000 (Average: $10,000)
| Material | Cost per Square | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| EPDM (rubber) | $400-$600 | 20-30 years |
| TPO | $500-$700 | 15-25 years |
| PVC | $600-$800 | 20-30 years |
| Modified Bitumen | $400-$650 | 15-20 years |
What Affects the Price
1. Roof Size
Impact: High. Roofing is priced by the square (100 sq ft). A 1,500 sq ft home has roughly 15-18 roofing squares. Every additional square adds $400-$600 for asphalt replacement. A 2,000 sq ft ranch with a simple gable roof runs $8,000-$12,000. The same footprint with a complex hip roof: $14,000-$18,000.
2. Roof Pitch
Impact: High. A flat or low-slope roof (under 4:12) is fast and easy. A steep roof (over 8:12) requires harnesses and specialized equipment. Expect a 20-40% labor increase for steep roofs.
3. Material Choice
Impact: High. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable and most common. Metal costs 2-3x more upfront but lasts twice as long. Tile and slate are premium options.
4. Existing Roof Condition
Impact: Medium. Rotted or damaged decking must be replaced before new roofing goes on. This is only visible once tear-off begins – reputable contractors document any issues before proceeding.
5. Roof Complexity
Impact: Medium. Valleys, skylights, chimneys, and multiple dormers require more labor and custom flashing. A simple gable roof costs significantly less than the same square footage on a complex multi-slope design.
Yakima vs. National Average
| Service | Yakima Average | National Average | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $14,727 | $11,500 | +28% |
| Metal Roofing | $10,897 | $12,000 | -9% |
| Roof Repair | $800 | $1,050 | -24% |
Yakima’s climate – hot summers, cold winters, and regular hail events – requires heavier-grade materials and more robust underlayment than milder climates. Labor costs run below Seattle, but material specs run higher. The net result is replacement pricing slightly above the national average.
