Do you need a new roof, but think it’s unaffordable? You might be surprised to learn that the cost is lower than you think! Every roof is different. The replacement cost of your roof will depend on several factors:
Roof Size
Roof size is a huge factor in pricing. Generally speaking, the bigger your home, the bigger your roof and the bigger your roof, the more materials, and labor will be required. When determining the square footage of your roof, in addition to all covered living spaces, you must also include areas such as overhangs, covered walkways, and entryways. If you have an outbuilding that matches your home, you may wish to re-roof that as well, for added curb appeal.
Slope and Shape of Roof
Second, your roof slope and shape play important roles in determining the cost of a new roof. The more sloped the roof, the more materials required. In addition, a steep roof requires the use of additional safety equipment, which may increase the cost. Complex designs of a roof generally increase the work required to repair or replace them Examples of complex designs are roofs with multiple dormers, steep slants, gables, and/or valleys.
Type of Roofing Material
Roofing materials vary in price. For example, architectural shingles are more costly than three-tab shingles and synthetic underlayment is more expensive than felt. Material, performance, quality, warranty, and style all impact the cost. In addition, replacement of old or worn parts such as decking, underlayment, vents, or flashing often affects the cost of the roof.
Extent of Repairs
The condition of your existing roof may impact the cost of replacement. If your existing roof leaks or has mold or damage to the underlying decking, the cost may increase due to additional repairs/replacement to such damage, since extra labor and materials would likely be needed. The more damage, the higher the cost.
