How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
Roof claim clients typically have their new roof costs covered by insurance.
Your roofing materials and labor rates play a factor in how much a new roof costs; below are estimates based on basic asphalt shingles for residential home sizes.
Materials
As one might imagine, the materials necessary for installing a new roof can be costly – this includes things such as shingles, insulation and other necessities for complete roof replacement.
Cost per square foot will depend heavily on your selection of roof material. Working with an experienced roofing contractor will allow you to understand exactly what to expect in terms of pricing per square foot.
Other things that could increase the cost of your roof include skylights and dormer windows that require specialty materials; you'll also have to account for any special considerations such as chimneys or soffits your roof requires; some homeowners may choose to add features like sunrooms which could add even further expenses.
Labor
Installing a new roof requires significant labor costs that vary based on its material. Also, deconstructing an old roof can incur extra expenses; often these are included as part of the total replacement price.
Building permits may cost between $100 and $1,000 and getting one early can help save time and delays down the line. Furthermore, some HOAs require approval for your shingle style and color choice before proceeding with your project.
Roof replacement for newer homes will usually cost more than for older houses due to structural elements like trusses and support beams that need to be addressed, like trussing. Therefore, when replacing all or parts of an older roof at once it would make more sense; but in certain instances partial replacement might make more sense; for instance if only part of it needs replacement. Changing only damaged sections won't lengthen its lifespan though.
Additions
Roof replacement can be one of the biggest investments a homeowner makes, yet also one of the most essential ones. Without an effective and secure roof covering your home, moisture damage, pest infestation and higher energy costs could occur.
While the average roof replacement cost is $9,117, this figure can significantly vary based on factors like material type and home size.
There are ways to bring down roof replacement costs. For instance, opting for metal roofing over asphalt shingles could save money or installing skylights instead of chimneys could reduce expenses significantly.
Savings opportunities exist if you submit an insurance claim successfully for hail damage; this can offset much of the overall replacement cost. When considering upgrading, professional roofing companies provide accurate estimates on how much a new roof would cost for your specific home.
Insurance
Your roof serves as the first line of defense against rain, snow, wind and debris accumulation – it's one of the smartest investments you can make for your home!
However, replacing your roof can come at a substantial expense; fortunately, homeowners insurance may cover some or all of those costs.
An upgrade can save money on energy costs by preventing heat loss, and may qualify for an insurance discount of anywhere from 5-35% depending on location, materials used and insurance company.
Before your homeowners insurance will pay for a new roof, however, a deductible must first be met. Most policies typically require between 1% and 10% of dwelling coverage limits as an upfront deductible payment for roof damage claims; this is especially relevant in states prone to tornadoes, hurricanes or other extreme weather events. As with anything, older roofs tend to attract higher premiums.
