Factors That Determine Roof Replacement Cost

broken image

A roof replacement project can be quite expensive and time-consuming. Do not let a roofing expert give you a quote before they do a proper assessment of the roof. You need to be clear on the roof replacement cost in order to avoid getting in stuck in the middle of the project.

There are quite a number of factors that determine the cost of replacing a roof. One of them is the pitch or slope. A steep roof may not be walkable and may need additional planning and setup. So if you have a flat roof, the labor costs can increase significantly. The pitch of the roof also determines the type of system that will be installed underneath the top visible layer during the replacement process. Depending on the material that you will use, there are code differences that the roofing contractor will need to abide by as per its pitch. For instance, a flat roof may require different materials than a steep roof.

The size of the roof is another factor that will definitely influence the roof replacement cost. If your roof is too big, expect to spend more money on the project because more materials and labor will be needed. The cost can be even more if you are going to high end roofing materials that are very expensive. You should not expect to spend the same amount as someone who has a smaller roof.

Last but not least, the removal of the old roof will also influence the roof replacement cost. The amount of time it takes to remove the old layer or layers as well as the time it takes to dispose determines the replacement cost. If the roofing materials to be removed are very heavy, they will take longer to remove and dispose, and hence cause you to spend more.
