Roof replacement is a big cost that requires professional roofers
to get it done. If it has been over 8 years with the current roof or there has
been damage to the roof, you need to start budgeting for roof replacement costs.
But without proper knowledge, you might be lost trying to find out the real
costs of roof replacement. So basically what are the costs that need to be
considered while looking for replacing the roof? Is energy saving on your mind?
It has been calculated that nearly 35% of the cooling and heating costs are due
to poor insulation in the roof. If you are looking at long-term roofing, different
materials need to be used.
Expert roofers say that as most cities and towns allow three
layers of shingles, it is best to check each layer for damage. Oftentimes, the
damage is in the wood. While in some homes the entire roof needs to be
replaced. It is best for the contractor to estimate the cost of debris removal
within roof replacement costs. In case you have been advised complete roof
replacement, get at least 3-5 estimates and never go with the lowest bid. It is
better to go with the average bid and ask for references. Check the roofing
company at BBB to ensure professional work.
As per the current market prices, the cost of roof
replacement with asphalt shingles that do not need any repairs is about USD
1.75- USD 2 per square foot. But if the wood needs repairs or there are tears
that require repair, the cost is higher. However, if heavier shingles are
needed, the cost doubles on the 20-year and 40-year shingles. The average cost
of such a roof includes about USD 4,500-5500 which includes just the
replacement of the whole roof of an average sized home. No repairs are
included.
Metal roofs are long lasting options and are known to last
to about 70-80 years. To replace the entire metal roof, without repairs costs
about USD 10,000-15000 while the tar or rubber that is used on the flat roofs
are available at the cost of USD 2.5 per square foot. Although they last for
over 20 years, damage repair costs around USD 9.5 per square foot. It is
expensive to get a complete roof replacement done and usually with proper
maintenance, you do not require it. But if the asphalt shingles have been over
8-10 years old, it may need a tear-down and replacement. If there are any
gutters, they will need to be replaced which further adds to the cost of the
roof replacement for homes and offices.
Before you sign on any roofing contractor or roofing
company, it is best to ask your family or friends for references. Talk to a few
roofers, get estimates and then decide what suits your own budget. Usually, the
estimates will differ according to the company but never hire the lowest bid as
the quality might be cheap or has hidden costs.
