The size and type of roof on your home or building are the largest factors affecting cost. Asphalt shingles are a popular choice due to their appearance and lower cost. If you're looking to upgrade your roofing to metal, it will on average cost 2.5 times more than asphalt. Fancier roofs such as composite or cedar shake can cost up to 3 times more. Most material are priced by square footage, so larger roofs will cost more regardless of materials.
The cheapest roofing material is asphalt, averaging approximately $6.54 per square foot. However, price is not always an indicator of quality or roof longevity. The choice of both shingle brand and roofing installer significantly influences the overall quality of your roof.
The most expensive roofing material is metal, with an average cost of $19.62 per square foot. Despite its higher cost, opting for metal roofing offers advantages including extended durability, enhanced aesthetic appeal, and a potential increase in property value. Material choice isn't the sole indicator of roof quality; the brand and installation precision of the metal roofing are key for long-term performance.
The slope angle of your roof will affect the cost. When steep slopes require the use of extra safety equipment, this increases the time, and subsequent price, of roofing installation. As an example, an average size open gable roof with steep slopes costs around $1,250-$2,500 more than a flat, walkable roof of similar size.
Typically the best times for replacing your roof are in the spring, fall, or early winter. Summer is considered the busiest time for roof replacement, with most roofing jobs increasing in price by 5–15%.
Some options for getting a new roof for free include:
Grants are available from various government agencies and non-profit organizations. Eligibility criteria for grants may include factors like income level, location, and the purpose of the roof replacement. It's important to research and identify specific grant opportunities in your area and review their application requirements.
If your roof has been damaged by a covered peril, such as a storm, fire, or other insurable event, you can file a claim with your homeowner's insurance. Ensure you understand your insurance policy's terms and coverage limitations before filing a claim. It may be necessary to document the damage with photos and provide estimates for repairs from qualified roofing contractors.
