Signing a contract for a new roof can feel like a big step. But did you know unexpected costs can pop up mid-project?

In this episode, we dive into the common hidden costs that come with roofing projects and how to handle them. A big one? Replacing roof decking. "Ask upfront: Does the quote include extra plywood?" I always advise.

Contractors should give you a clear breakdown of the costs for materials like 4x8 sheets of plywood and installation fees. Knowing this can save you from last-minute anxiety and unexpected bills.

We’ll also cover other sneaky expenses like fixing improperly vented bath fans and cleaning out blocked soffit vents. These issues can lead to mold, rot, and poor roof performance if left unchecked.

Tune in to learn what to ask your contractor and discover how to protect your wallet from hidden roofing costs. Don’t miss out—your roof (and your budget) will thank you!
