How Much Will Roof Replacement cost?
Roof replacement can be a pricey business but it is well worth the price considering that it is your roof that protects the rest of your house from the weather and other elements. Getting roof replacement done from someone who offers you a ‘too good to be true’ low price can cost you more in the long run as you’ll likely need expensive repairs sooner rather than later. Paying for a roof replacement with a reliable and respectable company may cost more up front, but you will get higher quality services and materials.
Why Do I Need A Roof Replacement?
Unfortunately, weather and time wear out roofs, and damage can accumulate easily over time. Sometimes if a storm is very severe it can rip off or crack too many shingles, and water can start to leak into your home. While no one ever wants a roof replacement – sometimes they are necessary to protect the rest of your home. If your roof is over 10 years old and you have not had it inspected recently, it would be a good idea to call a contractor to inspect it and make sure that it does not require repair or replacement before winter arrives.How Is Roof Replacement Priced?
The exact pricing varies from one roofer to another, from state to state and even within one state. However, it’s safe to say most roofers and insurance companies will set the price of roofing at an average of $ 3.5- 5. Keep in mind that this is an estimate and actual prices will fluctuate. Also be aware that the size and slope of your roof, as well as the desired materials will impact the cost. Slate is certainly more expensive than asphalt, however, when looking at pricing remember that more expensive materials often need fewer replacements and repairs over time and can pay off in the long run.

When a roofer quotes a price for roof replacement per square foot they are taking several factors into consideration. These include the price of the material and the labor required. Also taken into consideration are things like insulation, flashing, and sometimes disposal of other roofing materials. With all of these items priced differently the cost will vary based on the type of roof, and the quality of your contractor. Remember, a roof is an investment, and picking your roofing contractor means that sometimes you will have to pay more for better quality.
Other Miscellaneous Costs
The price of roof replacement also depends on the complexity of the job. For example, a colonial style or tudor style house more layers and roofs and will require more labor so will be more expensive to replace. A simple ranch style house on the other hand will cost less to get a roof replacement. The cost will also go up if you have 2 layers of shingles because of the increased work required to strip off and replace both layers. The presence of skylights, chimneys and gables and the flashing required to be installed around all these structures will also influence the final cost as they require more materials, sometimes special cuts of materials, and depending on the roof, a specialist.
