Is your Arizona home in need of a new roof? Are you concerned with the price of replacing your current roof? Being informed and educated on the different components that determine the cost of a new roof will help you when the time comes. We are reviewing five of the main elements to consider when discussing cost.
5 Components That Help Determine The Price Of A New Roof
1. Size Matters
One of the main influences on the cost of a new roof is the size. A large home is going to require a large roof. The larger the square footage of your roof is going to increase the cost of replacing your current roof. If your roof has several planes or high peaks, your roof will have a higher cost.
2. Different Materials, Different Cost
When replacing your roof, you will have the option of several roofing material options. Each have different characteristics, different uses, and different costs. We recommend assessing your home’s roofing needs to help you determine which material will be best and fits within your budget.
You will also want to determine your roof’s pitch to establish what materials are suitable for your roof. For example, a roof with a pitch of 1 cannot use metal shingles. Check out our roof pitch multiplier here.
3. Labor
One cost most homeowners do not think of when determining the cost of a new roof is labor. Typically an hourly rate is charged, but this may vary, depending on your roofing contractor. When discussing the labor cost including in the price of a new roof, ask your contractor what they estimate this cost will be. Also double check that all roofers are professionally trained and certified to complete your project. This will help with efficiency and ensure safety while instlling your new roof.
4. Current Roof Condition
Once your old roofing material is removed, it is important to examine the materials underneath. Often times, minor repairs to the wood or sheathing is needed prior to installing the new material. Upon a professional assessment, you contractor may also determine your roof does not need to be replaced. Your roof may be in need of professional repair services.
5. Additions
While you are having a new roof installed, it is a great time for any additions or changes you would like to see for your roof. This can include additional attic ventilation, new peaks, adding gutters, or new skylights and sun tunnels. There will be additional charges for these items, but it is best to add them while you have a roofing contractor available. Waiting to add these items later, could generate additional costs.
