A repair does not. Somebody drives out, finds the failure, fixes it and leaves. Three numbers set the price: the truck, the crew hours, and the material the failure eats.<\/p>\n<p>The visit itself is the part nobody publishes. We looked for a price a roofing company is bound by. Everything we found was a lead generation cost guide, which is not a source. So this page prints no diagnostic fee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a> turns a photo of the failure into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.<\/p>\n<h2>What the material actually costs<\/h2>\n<p>Every price below sits on a listing where the seller names the product and states its price.<\/p>\n<table class=\"pm__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Failure<\/th>\n<th>Material<\/th>\n<th>Published price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Leaking pipe boot<\/td>\n<td>No-Calk pipe flashing, Oatey part 11854<\/td>\n<td>$10.99 to $13.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wall intersection<\/td>\n<td>Step flashing shingle, 5 in by 7 in<\/td>\n<td>$0.59 to $1.19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Open valley<\/td>\n<td>Valley roll, Amerimax part 70424, 24 in by 10 ft<\/td>\n<td>$49.99 a roll<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Any of them<\/td>\n<td>Roof cement, Black Jack part 6220-9-34<\/td>\n<td>$13.49 to $13.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The valley roll carries one listing, so treat it as single source.

Both list the product and print zero, because the yard quotes bundles.<\/p>\n<p>So the calculator counts bundles from published coverage and leaves the price blank. IKO prints 33 and one third square feet per Cambridge bundle, three to the square.<\/p>\n<h2>What the labor side pays<\/h2>\n<p>The occupation is Roofers. The May 2025 national median is $26.65 an hour, the mean $27.95.<\/p>\n<p>The spread matters more. Across 135,490 roofers the 25th percentile is $22.24, the 75th $31.44, the 90th $39.29.<\/p>\n<p>Those are wages an employer pays an employee, and the survey skips the self employed. Your billed rate sits above it once burden and margin go on.<\/p>\n<h2>The code decides how the repair gets done<\/h2>\n<p>Base flashing at a vertical sidewall is continuous or step flashing, 4 inches high and 4 inches wide at a minimum, under R905.2.8.3. On shingles that means step flashing, so a wall leak means tearing shingles back.<\/p>\n<p>An open metal valley lining has to be at least 24 inches wide under R905.2.8.2. Shingles need a 2:12 slope or steeper under R905.2.2.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pm__callout\">\n<p>R908.5 is the line that pays for itself. Damaged or deteriorated flashing comes off and a new piece goes on. <strong>Quote the flashing<\/strong> before you open the roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"pm__promo\">\n<h2>Turn the failure into a priced job<\/h2>\n<p>SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.
