Question

How much does roof restoration cost compared to a full replacement?

A fraction. Restoration runs a small share of what a tear-off costs on the same house, which is why it makes sense on a roof with life left in it.

We will not quote a number here, because roof size, pitch and how much repair work the roof needs all move it. What we will do is measure your roof, tell you the price in writing, and show you the photos behind it. No number gets invented on a doorstep.

The things that move your number are the same things that move a roofer's number. Square footage first, then pitch, because a steep roof is slower and needs more setup. After that it is complexity: valleys, dormers, skylights and anything else that breaks a roof into small awkward planes.

Repairs are quoted separately and shown separately. If a slope needs flashing work or lifted shingles put right, that appears as its own line rather than disappearing into a single figure, so you can see it and decline it if you want.

The comparison that matters is cost against remaining life, not cost against a replacement quote. Treating a roof with years left in it is a different proposition from treating one that was going to need replacing next spring, and the inspection is what tells those two apart.
