What Goes Into the Price for a New Roof?

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

The most important question a homeowner can ask is what goes into the price for a new roof? There are different factors and no two roofs are priced the same. The contractor needs to understand the homeowner's wishes and then give them a good price for the new roof. There could be hidden pitfalls for the homeowner. Here are some factors that go into the price for a new roof:

Is it a replacement roof or new roof?

Does it have existing layers that have to be torn off? If so there could be higher labor costs to replace them. With new construction it only needs installation and no tear off.

What materials are being used?

There is a price difference with 20 year old shingles and 50 year old shingles. There are ranges based on life, appearance, shading etc. The labor is cost is around the same no matter the material. Material costs will be different due to the type of roof, shingle, metal, rubber etc.

Is the old roof getting removed or laid over?

Lay over roofs are not recommended. Finding leaks can be difficult. The labor costs will go up and the increase in tear off labor.

What is under the shingles?

There are different felts and ice and water protection membranes. These are used in valleys, high slopes and low slopes and eaves. Ice and water protection is there for the underside of shingles when ice damming happens.

Roof material:

The choice of materials for the roof is a big part of the cost to replace the roof. Asphalt is affordable. Slate, tiles and wood can be more expensive.

Size

The roof size affects the price. The wider the roof the higher the price. A small one storey home is around $2,000 to $4,000.

Height and Pitch

The height of the roof plays a part in the price of the roof. The higher the roof the harder to get at it. Then cost then goes up. The pitch is the angle of the roof and the steeper the angle the more money.

Complexity

A simple roof is cheaper compared to a roof with layers of shingles and intricate features.

Location

The cost of living differs from area to area. In some cities the permits and materials cost more. In New York for example a roof replacement can average $15,000 while in Georgia it is $9,000.

Contractor

Those with years of experience can charge more. It also depends on their roof replacement packages. If they remove the old roof and dispose of it then they can charge more.
There could also be additional costs with the framing, gutters and flashing.
