Tony's Roofcare answers roof cost questions

Thinking about a new roof? It’s a significant investment and one of the first questions homeowners ask Tony’s Roofcare, Inc. is, “How much does a new roof cost?” We understand that budgeting is crucial for any project as large as a new roof. While providing an exact figure is impossible without a personalized assessment, we can offer a general overview of what goes into the costs for a new roof.
What Factors Influence Roof Costs?
Before we dive into pricing information, it’s important to understand the factors that will impact the final price:
- The size of your roof.
- The complexity of your roof. This includes multiple levels, dormers, intricate designs and more.
- The roofing materials you choose. Homeowners have the option of asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile and wood shakes and all have varying price points.
- The cost of labor. These costs vary based on your location and the experience your roofing contractor brings to the table.
- Underlayment and flashing. You will want to invest in quality materials and ensure proper installation because these are essential for a long-lasting roof for your investment.
- Removal and disposal of old roofing materials adds to the overall cost of the project.
- A difficult to access roof may increase labor costs.
- Addressing underlying issues like damaged decking or framing will add to the cost of the roof replacement.
General cost ranges – keep in mind these are ever-changing and are only averages
- Asphalt shingles are the most common and affordable option. For an “average-sized” home the costs could begin at around $10,000.
- Metal roofs are the most durable and long-lasting option and are becoming more popular in recent years. The cost for an “average-home” size for a metal roof could begin at around $18,000.
- Tile or slate roofing is a premium option; these materials are great for historic buildings or homes concerned about moisture problems. These are the most expensive option and for an “average-sized” home the starting costs would be around $25,000.
What are other considerations for a new roof?
- Any of the price options are rough estimates. Actual costs vary and depend on your roof, its condition, the roofing material you choose, where you live and other factors.
- Get more than one quote from a reputable roofing contractor. If the prices are vastly different ask for an explanation on the differences.
- Don’t shop for the lowest price for your roof. Consider the roofing contractor’s experience and reputation. Because a roof is such a significant expense, you want to get the absolute best.
- Inquire about warranties.
- Remember, a low price could sometimes mean low quality work or materials, and that could cost you more to fix in the future.
- Your roof is your home’s protection from the outside elements and you want the best protection your budget allows.
