Inspecting Your Roof: Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements, making it essential to conduct a thorough inspection each spring.

If you're unable to do so safely, Tony's Roof Care can assist you with professional gutter cleaning services.

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.
