How much does residential roofing cost?

While it’s possible to calculate roofing costs on your own, it can be difficult. There are a lot of variables that go into the decision making process for contractors and property owners. Still, there are some rough averages you can see here based on 30 square homes:

– Removal and replacement of standing seam metal roofs – $1300 per square ($39,000 for an average size home with a metal roof)

– Removal and replacement of corrugated metal roofs – $600 per square ($18,000 for an average size home with a metal roof)

– Repair or replacement (for asphalt) – generally around $500 per square ($15,000+ for an average sized home with asphalt shingles)

*Prices are based on 30 square homes and can be subjected to change based on height, steepness, etc.*

What kinds of residential roof problems cause leaks?  

Leaks in your roof are one of the most common reasons homeowners will need to pay for residential roofing repair or full replacement. There are several types of leaks. Some are simple, quick repairs that anyone can do, while others require extensive work by a professional.

 

Are there roof replacement options?  

While it’s possible to perform repairs to any stage of damage, sometimes roofs are beyond saving. Once the insulation within has been compromised by holes or curling shingles, tiles can begin to pop off due to excess moisture build up. At that point, it’s time for a complete replacement rather than trying to put a band-aid on the issue.

What types of issues would require a replacement?  

Extensive damage that has compromised the structural integrity of the roof is one reason you might need to install a new residential roof. It could be due to wind damage, heavy hail storms which have damaged tiles, or simply age causing layers of shingles to loosen up over time.

However it happens though, if your roof needs complete replacement because of holes or structural problems, it’s best not to attempt doing this yourself unless you are an experienced professional who knows exactly what they’re doing. The average homeowner should never consider taking on this type of project without calling in skilled professionals first.
