Most homeowners make the same mistake: they call one contractor, get one quote, and either accept it or don't get the work done at all. That's how you either overpay by 30% or leave critical home repairs undone. This guide teaches you how to get multiple quotes the right way — and what to do with them once you have them.
The average all services cost in the US ranges from Varies to Varies depending on the scope of work, materials chosen, and contractor rates in your area. Below is a full breakdown of what you can expect to pay for every type of all services job.

| Job Type | Low Estimate | High Estimate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof inspection / assessment | $0 | $300 | Free through GetPro Estimates |
| Minor repair (1–5 shingles) | $150 | $500 | Common after hail or wind |
| Partial re-roof (under 25%) | $1,500 | $4,000 | Patch damaged sections |
| Full asphalt shingle replacement | Varies | Varies | Most common full replacement |
| Metal roof installation | $12,000 | $28,000 | Longest lasting option |
| Tile roof installation | $14,000 | $30,000 | Best for hot/dry climates |
The single biggest driver of cost is how much work actually needs to be done. A small repair is a fraction of a full replacement. Always get a professional inspection before assuming you need the most expensive option — many homeowners pay for full replacements when targeted repairs would solve the problem at 10–20% of the cost.
Material choice can swing total cost by 50–100%. For all services, budget materials get the job done but premium options last significantly longer and often come with better warranties. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in the home and your climate conditions.
Contractor labor rates vary by city. Markets like New York, San Francisco, and Seattle run 20–40% above national averages. Midwest and Southern cities typically run 5–15% below. Getting local quotes is the only reliable way to know your area's rates.
After major storms, demand for all services contractors spikes and prices follow. If your project isn't urgent, scheduling during off-peak seasons (fall for HVAC, late winter for roofing) can save 5–15% and get you faster service from less-rushed contractors.

Get My Free EstimateFinding a trustworthy contractor is harder than it sounds — especially after a storm when dozens of out-of-state contractors flood in looking for quick work. Here's the fastest and safest process:
Always get at least 3 quotes for any job over $1,000. For major projects (roofing, HVAC replacement, siding), get 3–5 quotes. Multiple quotes reveal the real market price and create competition that often brings contractors' prices down.
A proper written quote should include: detailed scope of work, specific materials with brand/grade, labor breakdown, total price, payment schedule, project timeline, warranty terms, and the contractor's license number and insurance certificate.
Red flags: verbal-only quotes (demand written), large upfront deposits over 10%, no license or insurance info provided, pressure to decide immediately, significantly lower prices than others (often means cutting corners), and vague scope of work.
Don't compare total prices — compare line by line. Different material grades, warranty lengths, and scopes of work explain most price differences. A $2,000 cheaper quote that uses thinner shingles and offers no warranty isn't actually cheaper long-term.
