How Much Does A New Roof Cost?

There are many factors that are considered in roof replacement cost estimates.

Understanding the cost of your roof

Roofing contractors take many factors into account when preparing an estimate,
including your preferences, budget, goals, and location.

How roof costs are determined

To get an accurate estimate of the cost of your new roof, roofing contractors consider several factors, including the materials, the size of the roof, and the labor involved.

Measure the roof – With new technology being used in the roofing industry, most measurements are obtained digitally, using satellite imagery or drone technology, and include the slope, peaks, and overall complexity of the roof.
Roof Inspection – A roof inspection allows contractors to identify any issues, assess the overall condition of your, and plan accordingly.
Recommend products – Next, your contractor will outline the best roofing system materials for your project (shingles, ventilation, and accessories) and warranty options.
Calculate costs – Your contractor can use the above information to calculate the total cost of the project, including labor, materials, warranty, and any applicable fees and services (permits, preparation, clean-up).

Key factors that impact roof qotes

Size

The size of your roof is the most significant cost factor. To estimate the cost, divide the square footage by 100. The average residential roof in the United States is 17 square or approximately 1700 square feet.

Roofing Materials

Asphalt shingles are the most popular and least expensive residential roofing material, but other materials like metal, wood, slate, or clay may cost more. We install GAF asphalt shingles for their durability, curb appeal, and lifetime warranties on materials and workmanship.

Complexity

Steeper roofs require more staging and safety precautions and will likely take longer to install. The pitch also determines the underlayment needed for the highest level of fire safety. Roofing contractors also calculate features like chimneys, skylights, and ventilation pipes that they need to work around and complexities like the number of facets–or faces–the roof has.

Location

The cost of a roof replacement can vary depending on your location in the United States. The price may be higher or lower based on the cost of living in the area, the materials needed, and local code requirements.

Things to consider for your new roof

Think of your roof as an investment, and not a purchase.
When you’re requesting quotes from roofing contractors, the lowest estimate may not be the best choice. It will cost more for better quality, durability, and warranty protection.
Insurance may cover the cost of replacing your roof if it was damaged in a storm. Before hiring a roofer, check with your insurance agent to see what is covered.
The Tri-State area can be prone to severe weather. A more robust warranty may save you more money in the long run.
Remember that your roof does more than protect your family and belongings – it can also add to your home’s curb appeal and value.
