V. Nanfito Roofing & Siding

When your roof is deteriorating, aging, or leaking, it may be time to get a new one. Besides choosing the right material, style, and color, you also need to create a budget. Doing so allows you to prepare for the cost of your new roof and help surprise expenses in the middle of your project. 

A trusted general contractor shares which factors affect the cost of a new roof. 

The Size of Your Roof

A bigger roof would be more expensive to replace than a smaller one. It’s because it would need more materials and labor. However, some roofers might offer a discount on the total square foot price if you have a larger roof. 

Your Chosen Roofing Material

The roofing material you will choose will have a dramatic impact on your overall project cost. It affects the durability, appeal, and lifespan of your roof. Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material today. However, you can also go for other materials, such as slate, metal, wood shake, and concrete tiles. 

The Pitch or Slope of the Roof

It’s often costlier to replace a steep roof because it can be dangerous to walk on. Your roofer would need to use more safety gear to prevent accidents. It will also take your home improvement contractor more time to work on a pitched roof, resulting in higher labor costs. 

Access to Your Roof

If your roof is difficult to access, your project’s cost may increase. A house with too many surrounding trees or has obstructions that can get in the way of the workers can be challenging to access. Expect the cost of your project to increase if it will be a challenge for the crew to access the roof.
