Church roofing questions

Pastors and committees ask us these most. Something else? Call a project manager.

01Can you replace a church roof without moving services?

Yes. We work weekdays, block off services, weddings and funerals, and leave the site clean and safe every weekend.

02How much does a church roof replacement cost?

In 2026, standing-seam sanctuary roofs run about $12 to $20 per square foot, flat hall and school roofs $9.50 to $14, and shingle $5 to $9.

03Can the project be phased over several years?

Yes. Many churches fix the worst roof first and do the rest as funds come in.

04Do you repair steeples and bell towers?

Yes, from lifts and rigging, including copper caps and base flashings.

Usually. We source matched or salvaged slate and tile for repairs.
