New Roof Installation in Warwick, RI

Most new installations come down to two real options, and each one has a genuine tradeoff, not just a price tag:

• Asphalt shingles. Shingle roofing is the most common choice for a reason: it costs less installed, goes on faster, and comes in enough colors and profiles to match almost any home. The tradeoff is a shorter service life than metal, and shingles are more prone to wind damage and granule loss over time than a metal panel system.
• Metal roofing. Metal roofing costs more upfront and takes longer to install correctly, since it's a more specialized job than a shingle tear-off. In exchange, a properly installed metal roof generally outlasts shingles by decades and holds up better to high wind and heavy snow, which matters more on some structures and roof pitches than on others.

We'll walk both options against your structure, your budget, and how long you plan to own the property, and tell you honestly which one makes more sense instead of steering you toward the bigger job. For the fuller comparison, see our guide on asphalt shingle vs. metal roofing for New England homes.

There's no honest number we can give you sight unseen. Cost depends on the square footage and pitch of the roof, the material you choose (shingle versus metal, above), and what the deck and framing actually need before shingles go on. We'll walk the real number with you after a free, on-site inspection, not a guess from a floor plan.
