Square footage is only half the cost of a Cole Valley roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. On most jobs, a Cole Valley estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Put simply, budgeting a Cole Valley replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm.
