New Roof Cost

Investing in a new roof is something you may not do often, which means you can be left with a lot of questions about what to expect. At Action 1 Roofing, we want to help make this process less stressful. That’s why we work with experienced roofers who focus on quality, affordability, and a great customer experience. When you contact us for help, we’ll go the extra mile to make sure you get the help you need for getting a new roof. To get you started, take a look at the information about costs and materials that we’ve included below.

What Are the Factors That Affect Price?

Like with any construction project, there are a variety of factors that can impact the overall price you pay for a new roof. At Action 1 Roofing, our priority is to share what some of these factors are so you know what to expect with your project.

Roof Size

The larger a roof is, the more it will cost in labor and materials to install. Larger roofs will also require more time and labor to remove before the new roofing material can be applied. If you have a large commercial building, you should expect to pay more than you would if you have a small single-family home.

Difficulty Factors

Anything that makes a roof difficult to work on can increase the price to install a new roof. This can include roofs that are a unique shape, extremely damaged, made of unique materials, or are especially high. Your roofer will let you know the biggest difficulty factors for working on your roof, especially if it’s going to impact the price due to labor and risk.

Peaks and valleys (Pitch & Slope) on a roof will also require more labor, as these areas need to be sealed properly to ensure the two planes are properly joined. If your roof is unique with many peaks and valleys, then it won’t be a straightforward job to install new materials or remove the old ones. It’s going to take more time and energy than a traditional one-peak roof would.

Cost of Labor

When installing or repairing a roof, there is a cost of labor or man hours associated to each roof type and materials used to repair or replace the roof. This is a skilled labor and will vary based on the materials and the difficulty of the work needed to complete your roof. Our local team will provide a full estimate which will include the cost of labor needed.

Cost of Materials

Besides the cost of labor, it’s important to anticipate how much the raw materials for the job will cost. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get a specific number until the type of material you’ve chosen and the square footage on your roof has been calculated. Each type of roofing material used will have a different cost associated.

Removal & Disposal

Removal from a roof with extreme damage or materials that are deteriorating can be dangerous and time-consuming. This is why roofers will charge more if there is additional work to be done to clean up the roof to get started safely. Additionally, they will charge more to remove materials from a larger roof, even if it isn’t in dangerous shape and can be safely cleaned off.

When it comes to the disposal of materials, you’ll have to ask your roofer if this is included in the price that’s estimated. In most situations, they will take care of it so you don’t have to deal with taking trailers of materials to your local waste center.

Accessibility

When homes are placed particularly close together, it can make accessibility difficult for the roofer. Accessibility can also be difficult on homes that have a lot of trees surrounding them or are next to other large structures. Not only do these situations make it difficult for the roofer to safely climb up, but it also makes it difficult to transport materials to the roof and down from the roof.

Repairs

Excessive damage that makes it difficult to safely walk on the roof can result in it taking more time to work on. The damage can also take more time to fully repair, which will add to labor costs. Talk to your roofer once the inspection is done to learn more about what repairs are needed. They’ll be able to tell you more about the difficulty of repairs, how much time they will take, and when the installation of the new roof can begin.
