Estimating Roofing Prices

Free Roofing Estimates from Professional Contractors are Best for Accurate Roofing Prices

Looking for average roofing prices? It's very difficult to give an average roofing cost because there are so many factors that affect the cost of a new roof. We describe those factors for you below, but the most accurate way to estimate your roof replacement cost is to request a price estimate from a reputable local contractor.

Hometown screens local contractors for license, insurance, and a reputation for professionalism and affordability. If you need a new roof price, its simple to request a roofing estimate from the most reliable and affordable contractor in your hometown. Just click on the nearest city or your state and contact your local roofer directly.

A professional roofing contractor will measure your roof and discuss potential roofing materials with you. Once your roofer knows the size, pitch, and materials to be used on your new roof, they can give you accurate roofing prices. Roof replacement cost estimates are free and take very little of your time.

What goes into the Cost of a New Roof?
Factors Impacting Roofing Prices:

First, you need to learn the lingo! Roofing estimates are calculated "per square." A square is equal to a 10 ft X 10 ft area or 100 sq. feet of roof. So, if you have a 3000 square foot roof, then you're roof would be "30 square."

Roof replacement cost can run anywhere from $100 per square all the way up to $1000 per square, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, materials selected, and the local costs to tear off and dispose of the old roof.

Roofing Materials - Asphalt shingle roofing is still the most common and least expensive option. Shingle prices vary significantly from the low end to the high end, so talk with your roofer about your options.

Other materials such as slate, tile, or metal look great, but cost more. So let your budget be your guide... and don't forget to consider the long term prices if you plan to stay in the home for the long haul. For example, tile roofing prices and metal roofing prices are higher than asphalt shingle roof prices, but metal roofs last longer so the average annual roof cost becomes competitive over the life of the roof.

Size of the Roof - Obviously, the roof replacement cost for a "40 square" roof is going to be more than a "20 square roof." Have a professional roofing contractor come to your home and measure to get an accurate roofing estimate.

Tear Off & Disposal - Does your roof have one layer or two layers of shingles that need to be removed? More layers means more labor and a heavier dumpster that needs to be disposed of at the landfill. A single story, walkable roof (low slope), with one layer of shingles will typically cost $50 - $100 per square to remove, depending on your location and landfill or recycling fees.

Slope of the Roof - Accessibility can be a key component of the cost of a new roof. The steeper the pitch of the roof, the higher your roof replacement cost will be.
