Navigating The Costs of Roof Replacements

Estimating the cost of a new roof for your house can be an intimidating prospect, but with a little research and knowledge of several key items, you can find an accurate number much more easily than you might think.

Here are a few basic considerations to help you determine an approximate cost of a roof replacement for your home:

ROOF TYPES

One of the most significant variables in new roof cost is the material you select.

A new asphalt roof on a 1700 square foot house can cost--on average-- $7,000 to $8,000 while metal roofing on the same house will likely cost an average of $11,000.

Other materials like slate, composite, or wood all have different price points. Detailed references compiled by knowledgeable experts can offer helpful estimates for each of these options.

ROOF PREPARATIONS

If you are in need of a full roof replacement, your old roof will likely need to be removed completely before the new installation can begin. (Metal roofing is occasionally an exception to this as it can sometimes be installed over the existing roof.)

This service generally costs $100-$200 per 100 square feet.

ROOFING CONTRACTORS

Selecting a contractor is one of the most important steps in getting your new roof.

Although it may be tempting to find the most budget-friendly quotes available, it is crucial to be sure you are not compromising quality for a lower rate.

Carefully research review and recommendations and only consider quotes from reliable and trustworthy companies for your roofing job.
