The Basics of Roof Replacement

The roof protects you against snow, rain and other extreme weather conditions. You need functional and high-quality roofing to get better protection and avoid other problems including roof damage. Heavy damage, such as roof leaks, can also jeopardize the structural foundation of your home, damaging the ceilings or walls at the same time. If you suspect problems with your roof, we recommend getting a roof inspection first to determine whether you need roof repairs or a replacement. 

Never put off repairs or inspections, or it may cost you a fortune down the road. Contact a roofer immediately if you see a damaged shingle or you see leaks in the ceilings. A professional roofer can thoroughly check all components of your roofing systems and recommend the right solution. 

You'll need to consider the roofing materials when getting a replacement. Metal roofing is a popular choice among homeowners, as it's durable and has fireproof properties. If you prefer a more affordable option, getting asphalt shingles may be the best option. Contact an experienced roofer to determine the type of roofing materials you need. 

Layering vs. Old Roof Removal

A properly installed roofing system can last years. However, the lack of maintenance and extreme weather conditions can reduce their service life. If there's heavy roof damage, roofers may recommend you get a roof overlay or complete removal of your roof. 

Getting a roof overlay means new shingles are placed on top of the old roof, temporarily fixing the damage. An old roof removal means the entire roof is removed and replaced with a new roof. While the former is more affordable, it also means more weight is added to the roof. Not really the best option in the long run because it isn't a permanent solution. Some homeowners on a tight budget may prefer roof overlays because of the cost. 

When there's a lot of damage to the roof, remove them completely and replace them with new ones. A new roof that's installed correctly can last several years and fully address the problem. 

Roof Replacement vs. Repair

If your roof is only a few years old and is damaged by a storm or heavy rain, getting a roof repair service may be a good option. However, we still recommend you get a roof inspection, so professionals can thoroughly inspect all components of your roofing system and give you a detailed evaluation, including the solution to effectively address the problem. One factor to consider when getting a roof repair or replacement is the extent of the damage. If only a small area of the roof is damaged, getting a roof repair would be ideal. However, if there's heavy damage to the roof, a replacement would be a better choice.

When there's a coming storm, you may choose to get a temporary repair first, especially when a full replacement can still take days to complete. How long you intend to stay in your home is also a factor to consider when getting repairs or replacements. Upgrading to a new roof will be a good idea if you're planning to sell and want a price increase for your home. 

Full vs. Partial Roof Replacement

When your roof is several years old with severe damage, a full replacement is recommended. Partial roof replacement is usually recommended when your roof is relatively new and only a small portion of it is damaged. A roof inspection can help you make an informed decision. 

Regardless, get a reliable and trusted roofer to install the new roof (partial or full). Make sure the roof replacement company is fully licensed and insured. Better yet, choose the right roofing materials to ensure they last years.

Cleanup and Disposal

Roof repairs and replacements can be messy. Roofers may need to remove the existing roof system, including rotted wood, and install new roofing. This can take time, especially when you get a full replacement — and if not properly cleaned up, it can even be dangerous.

Before hiring roofing replacement contractors, do proper research on their services and processes. Get more details on how they do roof repairs or replacements, including how long it'll take them to complete the project. Better yet, look for customer reviews to help you decide which roof replacement company to hire. 

Roof Warranty

Understanding the different types of roof warranties and what they cover can help you save money on repairs or installations. Before hiring a roof replacement contractor, ensure you fully understand what you're getting for the warranty. 

There are three different types of roof warranties: manufacturer's warranty, installation and labor and extended manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer's warranty covers any manufacturer defects on the roofing materials. How long the warranty lasts depends on the type of roofing materials installed. High-end and more expensive roofing materials usually have a higher warranty. Some manufacturers may also require homeowners to get their roofs maintained to keep the warranty. Failure to do regular roof inspections can void the warranty. It's important to read the fine print before getting installation services to know what's fully covered in the warranty and what's not included.

Installation and labor warranties will be provided by the contractor. For example, some contractors may offer a 5-year or 10-year warranty on labor or materials. If there are issues with the roofing installation, the contractor may repair or reinstall the new roof at no additional cost to you. Read what's covered in the warranty before signing an agreement with the contractor to know what's fully covered. 

An extended manufacturer's warranty may offer a more comprehensive coverage and last longer, but this usually costs more. If you live in high-risk areas and decide to purchase an extended warranty, clarify if the coverage also includes roof damage from storms or heavy snowfall. 

A roof warranty may help you save money on repairs or installation costs. However, the best way to save money is to stay on top of roof inspections and work with the same roof contractor as much as possible. Get a roofing inspection at least once a year to ensure your roof is still in top shape and all issues are addressed promptly. Never postpone any repairs; if you suspect a problem, contact a roofer for repairs or replacements. Most importantly, hire licensed and fully insured roofers, so the task is properly carried out. 

Roof Replacement Cost by Roof Material

When getting a roof replacement, expect to pay up to 50% of the total cost of the materials alone. Asphalt composite shingles can cost between $1.50 and $4.50 per square foot. These types of roofing materials are lightweight yet durable. Depending on the contractor or the manufacturer, you may get between 20 and 30 years of warranty when the roof is properly maintained. 

If you're planning to stay in your home until retirement, metal roofing may be the best option, since it can last up to 50 years — possibly up to 75 years when properly installed and maintained. However, metal roofing is more expensive than composite shingles, as they cost about $10-$16 per square foot. 

Slate roofing can last between 75 and 150 years, but it also costs more. Expect to pay $10-$30 per square foot with slate roofing material. Installing this type of roofing material can be difficult, so make sure you only hire trusted and reliable roofing contractors for this.

For homeowners who prefer attractive roofing, wood shingles may be the best choice. However, keep in mind these types of roofing materials are prone to getting lots of moisture. They can also be a little expensive, costing about $9 per square foot for shingles and up to $14 per square foot for shakes. Get in touch with your local roofer to help you make an informed decision. 

Roof Replacement Cost Factors

Several factors affect roof replacement costs. They include the size of your roof, the roof pitch and the number of stories. The average cost of roof replacement is about $11,500. This can go as low as $6,500 and as high as $80,000 for luxury homes. The price depends on the type of roofing materials installed and the size of your home. Get in touch with a licensed roofer in your area to know how much it would cost to replace your roofing system. 

Size

For a 1,000 square feet roof, you can expect to pay an average of $7,000 for roof replacement and an average of $14,000 for 2,000 square feet in size. Expect to pay between $2 and $7 per square foot for roof replacement. 

Roof Pitch

The roof pitch is a measurement used to determine if your roof can withstand extreme weather conditions. Roofers use this when giving you a quote for roof replacement. The higher the roof pitch, the more it'll cost you. 

Roofers may also take into consideration other factors, which include the clean-up costs, chimneys or skylights and removal of your current roof. It's best to hire the right roofer to determine how much it would cost to get a partial or full roof replacement. 

Number of Stories

A house with two or three stories will require more time and labor to get up and down compared to a single-story home. You can expect to pay more when your house has two or more stories or sits on a steep slope. Speak with a professional roofer to get an estimate.
