See below some of the must significant factors that may affect the cost of your new roof.
Where you are located, the pitch and size of your need roof and the roofing material that you choose will influence the quote that you receive from your area's roofing company.
Home Size
The biggest cost difference will come with the size of your roof. To get your roofing square feet, divide the number of square feet of roof surface by 100. Cost per square usually includes materials and installation.
Roofing Materials
This is where you have a little control over costs. Asphalt shingles are most typically cost less and are very popular. Other roofing materials like metal, wood, slate, clay or solar will come at a higher cost.
Roof Slope and Pitch
Steeped roofs are more labor intensive. This may increase a roofing estimate. Your roof may be more complex, which requires additional labor and may also influence the selection of materials.
Where You Live
The area you live in - its cost of living, climate, local building codes and permit requirements - are variables that also factor into the cost of your new roof.
You should know some of the elements that go into your average roofing estimate because a new roof is so much more than just replacing shingles.
A roofing contractor will need to get all of your roof measurements. The measurements include elements like facets, pitch, eaves, rakes and more.
The scope of your roofing project makes it necessary for your roofers to get up on your roof to check shingle condition and other parts of your roof.
Shingles, underlayment and ventilation areas will be outlined by your roof contractor.
The cost of these products will vary depending upon your choices.
Eligible warranties may vary depending on the combination of products that are installed, as well as the certification of the contractor installing them. GAF Factory-Certified contractors can offer our strongest warranties for your roof replacement. It’s always a good idea to learn about all of your warranty options. If you think your roof was damaged by a storm, or may be at risk of future storm damage, see our storm resources.
To complete the estimate, your contractor will add in labor costs, and any fees that may apply for services such as permitting and disposal.
Knowing a little bit about a roof replacement pays off. Make sure that you understand the costs of roofing before you accept any quote or estimate.
Any good roofing contractor will answer all of your questions. They will recommend the best roofing materials for your home and budget.
Your roofer should be able to provide and itemized breakdown of cost and answer any questions you may have about products and labor.
Your contractor should be able to give you a full, clear explanation of available warranties and coverage, and that information should be reflected in your cost estimate.
The cost to remove old roofing material and clean the work area during and after installation should be part of your estimate, not a surprise cost that pops up later. A reliable contractor will be able to provide you with a number on your estimate.
Because if it does, it probably is. Be sure your cost estimate isn’t missing any roofing materials or expenses. A low cost is not always the best choice.
