How much does a new roof cost in Sioux Falls?
By national figures published by HomeGuide for 2026, a roof replacement costs $5,700 to $16,000, or $3 to $6 per square foot installed. Those are not our quotes. Size, pitch, layers to remove and material set your price, and we give it in writing after a free inspection.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Sioux Falls?
Yes. The City of Sioux Falls requires a building permit to re-shingle a house. We handle permits when they are needed. Nearby towns and the counties set their own rules.
Do roofers need a license in Sioux Falls?
Yes, for homes. South Dakota has no state roofing license, but the City of Sioux Falls requires a Residential Roofing and Repair Contractor license for shingling one and two family homes and townhomes. We are licensed and insured.
Can a roofer pay my insurance deductible?
No. South Dakota law (SDCL 37-24-50) says a residential roofing contractor may not advertise or promise to pay or rebate any part of an insurance deductible.
Is ice and water shield required on a roof in Sioux Falls?
Yes. The city's residential code marks ice barrier underlayment as required. It runs from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take 1 to 3 days, depending on size and weather. Larger or flat commercial roofs take longer.
Can you repair my roof or does it need replacing?
Many leaks can be repaired. We inspect the roof, show you photos of what we find and tell you honestly which makes more sense.
Do you work on flat roofs?
Yes. We install and repair TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up roof systems.
Do you offer emergency leak repair?
Call us. We do our best to get a crew out quickly to stop the leak and protect the building.
