How we price
No mystery line items.
A clear roof quote shows the square count, materials, flashings, deck allowance, disposal and permit separately. That gives you a number you can actually compare, and a number that cannot quietly grow.
By the square, on paper, before we start
Roofing is measured in squares, and every Arista quote starts from a square count we measured and drew ourselves, which you receive with the report. From there, each part of the job is its own line with its own price. You can see what the underlayment costs, what the flashings cost, what the deck allowance is, and what disposal and the permit cost, instead of one number with everything buried inside it.
That matters for two reasons. First, you can compare it line by line against any other bid and see where the difference actually is. Second, the only line that can change after you sign is the deck, and only with your written approval at the per-sheet price that is already on the quote.
What other valley roofers publish
Some Las Vegas roofing sites post ranges: roughly $8 to $20 per square foot for a tile lift and relay, and $18,000 to $35,000 for a full tile replacement, with repairs from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. Those are their numbers, not ours, and they are wide for a reason: pitch, profile, valleys, access and deck condition move a relay by thousands. Treat any range, including those, as orientation. Our number comes from the walk.
What we do not do
- We do not quote a roof we have not walked.
- We do not bundle financing into the price.
- We do not inflate a number to offer a "discount" that expires tonight.
- We do not quote a tear-off when a relay will do.
Sample quote — tile lift & relay
Your number depends on square count, pitch, tile profile, access and deck condition. We will not quote a roof we have not walked. The example shows the structure of an Arista quote, not a price for your home.
What moves the number
Eight things that decide the price per square.
| Driver | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Square count | One square = 100 sq ft of roof surface. A typical single-storey tract home is 20–30 squares; two-storey and custom homes run higher. |
| Pitch | 4:12 and 5:12 are walkable and the cheapest to work. 6:12 and above slows the crew and may need staging. |
| Tile profile and weight | S-tile and flat concrete relay fastest. Clay, lightweight and discontinued profiles take longer to match and handle. |
| Valleys, hips and penetrations | Every valley is metal and cut tile; every penetration is a flashing. A cut-up roof costs more per square than a simple gable. |
| Stories and access | Second-storey work, tight side yards and no driveway access for the tile stack all add labour. |
| Deck condition | Priced as an allowance of sheets; anything beyond is approved per sheet before it is cut. |
| Solar | Removal and reinstall is a separate per-panel line from the solar contractor, shown as its own number. |
| Permit | Clark County or the city, pulled by us, shown as its own line. |
Reading someone else's roofing quote
Nevada law also sets the shape of the contract. NRS 624.970 caps the deposit on an owner-occupied residential job at the lesser of $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, requires change orders in writing, requires the contractor's licence number and monetary limit on the contract, and makes the contractor responsible for the permit. A roofer asking for half up front on the driveway is asking for something the statute does not allow.
Hold any quote up to five questions. Does it state the square count, and did they measure it or guess it? Does it name the underlayment product, or just say "underlayment"? Is deck repair an allowance with a per-sheet price, or a vague "if needed"? Are disposal and permit shown, or hidden? And is the warranty term written down? If a quote fails three of those, the number on it is not a number, it is an opening offer.
