How Much Does A New Roof Cost?
RoofClaim clients are typically covered by their insurance for the cost of a new roof.
You will need to consider the cost of your roofing materials as well as labor rates. Below you can find estimates based upon basic asphalt shingles and residential home sizes.
Materials
As you can imagine, materials for a new roof are expensive. This includes things like shingles, roofing insulation and other necessities.
Cost per square feet will be heavily influenced by the material you select for your roof. Working with a roofing professional will help you understand what to expect when it comes to pricing per square.
Skylights and dormer Windows that require special materials could also increase the cost of your roofing. You will also need to take into account any special considerations like chimneys or soffits that your roof may require. Some homeowners choose to add features such as sunrooms that could add further expenses.
Labor
The cost of installing a roof is dependent on the type of material. Also, tearing down an old roof can be expensive. Often these costs are included in the price of a new roof.
Building permits can cost between $100 and $1000. Getting one early will save you time, and delay. Some HOAs may also require that you get approval from them before you proceed with the project.
Roof replacement for older homes will cost more because of structural elements, such as trusses or support beams, that must be addressed. In most cases, it makes sense to replace the entire roof or just a part. But in some instances, a partial replacement could make sense. However, replacing only the damaged parts will not extend its lifespan.
Additions
Roof replacement is often one of the biggest investments that a homeowner will make. It's also a very important one. If your roof is not effective and secure, it can lead to moisture damage, insect infestation and higher costs.
Roof replacement costs can vary significantly depending on factors like the material used and the size of the home.
Roof replacement costs can also be reduced. If you choose metal roofing instead of asphalt shingles, you can save money. Or installing skylights rather than chimneys can reduce costs.
You can save money if you successfully file an insurance claim due to hail damage. This can reduce the cost for replacement. Professional roofing companies will provide you with accurate estimates for the cost of upgrading your roof.
Insurance
Your roof is your first line of defense from rain, snow, winds and debris accumulation. It's one the smartest investments that you can make for the home!
Fortunately, your homeowners insurance may cover all or part of the cost.
Upgrades can help you save on energy costs, as they prevent heat loss. You may also be eligible for an insurance discount ranging from 5-35% based on your location, the materials used, and your insurance company.
A deductible is required before your homeowners' insurance will cover a new roof. Most policies require a deductible between 1% to 10% of the dwelling coverage limit as an upfront payment for roof claims. This is particularly relevant in states prone to tornadoes, Hurricanes or other severe weather events. Older roofs will attract higher insurance premiums.
