What Actually Drives Your Quote
- 01
Roof pitch
6:12 and under installs at base labor. 8:12 adds ~12%. 10:12+ adds scaffolding and roughly 20–30%.
- 02
Number of stories
Three-story homes carry an access premium for staging, lifts, and fall-protection beyond the standard two-story setup.
- 03
Complexity
Each valley, dormer, skylight, and chimney adds flashing hours. A simple gable is ~1.0x; a multi-dormer colonial can be 1.25–1.35x.
- 04
Historic review
Homes in historic districts require architectural review submission and, sometimes, site visits. Budget 2–6 weeks of lead time on top of the permit.
- 05
Electrical upgrades
Older homes with knob-and-tube or 60-amp service need panel work before solar-ready components can be tied in. Quoted separately.
- 06
Tear-off layers
Westchester code allows two layers max. A full tear-off of two existing layers adds disposal weight and labor versus a single-layer overlay.
These numbers are a starting point. Every Rivertown proposal is based on a drone scan, site walk, and line-item quote — not a square-foot calculator.
