New roof installations are not cheap and vary in price. The cost of having a new roof installed is determined by a handful of factors. In this blog, we will explain the main factors that determine the cost of getting a new roof.
1. Roofing Types and Material
With so many different roofing types and materials, the cost of a new roof will vary from home to home. There is no set price for roofing types and materials. Every contractor and manufacture prices differently. Ultimately, the type of roof and material you choose will factor into the overall cost.
2. The Size of a Roof
Every home’s roof has different dimensions. Another factor that will affect the cost of a new roof is the size the new roof will need to cover. The less space a roof has to cover, the less it will cost. The more space a roof has to cover, the more it will cost.
3. Labor Costs
Another factor that will determine how much a new roof costs is the amount of labor needed to complete the task. The more time and manpower needed will likely add to the final cost.
4. Permits and Inspection Costs
Roof permits and inspections are usually required before any roofing project can commence. Roof permits and inspections cost money and that cost is typically part of the overall cost for a new roof. Roof permits and inspections help ensure safety regulations are being followed and the that the contractors you choose are reputable.
5. Protection of Property
A new roof installation can do damage to other parts of your home so it is important to protect parts of your property the best you can before and during a new roof installation. Contractors can help you protect your property with tarps and boards but it will likely be a add-on to the final cost.
