How Much Will a New Roof Cost?

The size of the roof will naturally affect the price. A roof of 139 square meters (1,500 sq ft) will cost considerably less than one of 232 square meters (2,500 sq ft). However, this is not a renovation project where you want to cut corners. A damaged roof can lead to water damage and rot, costing time, money, and potentially compromising the safety of your home and family.

New Roof Prices – National Averages

We've compiled a list of costs for popular roofing materials to help you estimate the best type for your location. However, regional pricing can vary greatly. The contractor you choose can greatly influence the cost. That's why comparing estimates is not only the fastest way to figure out your costs—it's also the smartest. Below are some average costs and roof sizes to consider:

How To Save On New Roof Installations

As you can see, a new roof can be a costly investment. There are ways to save on installation costs. Here are a few tips to help you get the most bang for your buck when it comes to putting a new roof on your house.

Understand Your Own Roofing Needs

Take some time and do your homework. You need to know exactly what it is you need (including what materials) before you talk to any contractor. Knowing what you require will keep all your estimates consistent while also encouraging competitive pricing.

Compare At Least 3 Quotes

Not only will this give you the chance to find the best rate, but you also have an opportunity to figure out which contractor will work best for your roof installation. Make sure they offer a warranty on materials and installation while also carrying the necessary licensing and insurance.

Get The Timing Right

In general, roofers tend to be a lot busier in Summer and Fall. Ask about off-season discounts.

Do Some of the Work Yourself

You can allow for easy access to the area of work for contractors by clearing it of any obstructions. This could be some bushes and shrubs or even some tree branches you may want to trim. If you're an avid DIYer, you may even consider removing some of the old roofing. It's potentially dangerous work though, and backbreaking, so consider your options carefully.
