How Much Does A Roof Replacement Cost?

February 1, 2021

replacement of the house roof was done before it went on saleThe average roof on a modern home in the U.S. today is expected to last between 20 and 25 years. For homeowners, their roof is their main form of defense against the weather. Failing to properly maintain a roof can lead to the interior of a property becoming vulnerable to water, moisture and pests.

A roof replacement is a large project that requires a significant investment. There are, however, a wide range of factors that need to be taken into account when determining the overall cost.

Factors That Influence The Cost Of A Roof Replacement

It is impossible to give an exact figure for how much your roof replacement could cost. The average on a national basis is $8,158 for a new roof, with the vast majority of homeowners spending anywhere from $5,376 to $10,975.

However, there is a significant difference between major cities in the U.S. The numbers reveal that the average cost of a roof replacement is $9,000 in Denver, CO, but only $7,000 in Austin, TX. This is why it is necessary to consult with an experienced roofing contractor to get an exact figure on how much a roof replacement will cost.

Size Of The Home

Obviously, the size of the property will be a major factor in deciding how much a full roof replacement will cost. Larger homes will come with larger costs simply because more material will be required to replace the roof. Furthermore, it takes longer to replace a roof on a large property, which means additional labor costs.

Take note, roofing materials are measured by the square not the square foot. One roofing square is equal to 100 square feet in the roofing business.

The Pitch Of The Roof

replacement of the roof of the under constructed homes because of some damageThe pitch of the roof is another determining factor because a higher pitch means additional complexities for roof installers. A ranch style house is completely flat, so the process of roof replacement is relatively simple. Homeowners with a ranch style roof will see the lowest costs of all. Colonial homeowners will have a few slopes here and there, but the process is still relatively simple. These homes tend to be older, and may even have historical value, so this will also need to be taken into account.

Finally, the most difficult properties of all to manage are homes with Tudor style roofs. These come with both slopes and eaves. They can be problematic to manage. These are typically among the oldest properties in the country and may have strict rules regarding their renovation.

Type Of Shingles Used

A new shingle roof will incorporate both the cost of the new roof and the removal costs of the old roof. Shingle roofs are by far the most popular roofing option in the U.S., but there is a huge amount of variation within shingle roofs.

Not all shingle roofs consist of a standardized asphalt shingle. A shingle roof can also be made from clay, wood, slate and metal. These different materials all come with their pros and cons, as well as widely varying life expectancies.

For example, a wood shake roof may last for up to 30 years, whereas a metal roof comes with a life expectancy of 50 years. Homeowners should examine each material carefully and determine which one best fits their tastes and budget.

How The Roof Is Installed On The Frame/Deck

The way a roof has been installed matters. Poor workmanship in the past could require remedial work to be carried out. If a homeowner opts for new roofing material, additional support may need to be built into the frame/deck to ensure the structure remains stable.

Another consideration is the amount of access a contractor has to the roof. If a roof is too steep to climb on foot or the roof is in a highly built-up area, specialist equipment may be required to replace the roof. This will increase the overall cost of the roof replacement.

Skylights, Chimneys Or Plumbing

roof tiles are removed before the replacement beginsSkylights and chimneys are just some of the common aspects of a roof. They add additional wrinkles for roofing contractors to negotiate. This increases the time taken to replace the roof, thus enhancing labor costs. Furthermore, roofs must have an adequate amount of ventilation. This has a direct impact on residential plumbing systems. The plumbing vents appear as narrow tubes pointing into the air.

These are required to bring in oxygen and push out sewer gasses. The installation of a new roof may require work to be done on the plumbing vents.

Reach Out To The Experienced Northern VA Roofing Contractors

A new roof is not something to manage by yourself. Installing a new roof is inherent with dangers, and if something goes wrong it can cost tens of thousands of dollars more to put things right.

Homeowners should never attempt to install a new roof by themselves. Adelphia Exteriors have been in the business of roof replacement for many years and give their clients a professional roof replacement service at a fair price.

They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into... signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob... provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more

From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! ... Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on... the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and the paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more
