A lower price only helps when the roof is still built right. We quote three material levels from the same measurements and base scope, so you can see exactly what each upgrade costs.

Good, better, and best roofing options
You should only pay more when it makes sense for your family and your wallet. You choose what shingle performance, finish and warranty makes sense for your situation.
GOOD$
Proven value
Architectural shingles
A dependable laminated shingle with synthetic underlayment, starter shingles, matching ridge caps, flashing, and balanced ventilation.
Best for keeping the initial price responsible without stripping out the roof system.
BETTER$$
Upgrade where it counts
Class 4 shingles
A polymer-modified, impact-rated shingle installed over the same complete system. Some insurers offer discounts for qualifying products.
Best when the upgrade cost makes sense against your actual insurance savings.
BEST$$$
Long-term shingle
Premium Class 4 shingles
A heavier premium shingle with stronger construction, upgraded appearance, and eligibility for enhanced warranty options.
Choose this when long-term ownership makes the premium construction and finish worth the higher upfront cost.
Considering metal? Planning to stay for decades? Standing-seam metal may deserve a look. Because it costs substantially more upfront, we compare it separately—not as a convenient “best” column.
DON'T SAVE IN THE WRONG PLACE
Save on upgrades—not essentials
Underlayment, starter shingles, flashing, ridge caps, and ventilation help the finished roof shed water and stay secured. Removing those details can make a bid look cheaper while moving risk back onto your home.

WAYS TO CONTROL THE TOTAL
Get more roof for your money
✓Choose a stocked color instead of a special order.
✓Price decking with a clear per-sheet allowance.
✓Check the insurance discount before buying Class 4.
✓Compare the total financed cost, not only the payment.
Class 4 is an impact rating, not a hail-proof guarantee. We show the upgrade separately so you can ask your insurer what it changes before deciding.
