While a solid roof can protect your home from dirt, cold, rain, snow, and other potential dangers, it might require replacement if the roof is more than 20 years old and showing signs of failure.
But roof replacement is a major expense that can intimidate a homeowner who isn’t prepared. It always helps to understand the factors that impact roof replacement cost, so you’ll know what to expect as far as variability in the quote you’ll receive.
How much does roof replacement cost?
The average cost to get your roof replaced is about $8,000, but this isn’t set in stone. You can spend as much as $11,000 to get the job done. The final amount you need to prepare for roof replacement will depend on several factors:
1. Your roof size
Your roof size will impact the time and labor required to replace your roof, so it’s one of the major variables affecting roof replacement cost.
The roof pitch, or the roof’s steepness or angle, also affect the cost.
2. Your roof material
The roofing material needs careful consideration, as it can amount to 40% of the cost of the project. Depending on the roofing material, you’ll have to pay anywhere from $100 to $1,000 per square.
For example, homeowners using asphalt shingles can spend dramatically less, but a slate roof will require deeper pockets.
Fortunately, there are several roofing materials you can choose from, so up to a certain degree you can control the cost of getting a new roof.
3. Labor
Aside from roof size, labor costs are determined by the extent of the roof damage, environmental conditions, and – if applicable- removal of old material.
A roof that’s difficult to reach will also add to the cost, since it will require more time and equipment.
4. Your home’s location and accessibility
Can your home be easily accessed by trucks and equipment?
Aside from your home’s geographical location, your roofing contractor will also consider HOA guidelines and local building codes.
