While keeping your home maintained is an important task, it can also be one that requires a big investment. However, if you take the time to learn about the costs of major projects, like roof replacement, you'll be better able to prepare for these expenses.
In fact. a roof installation is one of the projects that all homeowners will have to deal with at some point. The best way to prepare for this project is to have a professional roofer, like Fletcher Home, give you a new roof cost estimate.
We offer transparent, fair pricing, so homeowners know exactly what is behind the cost of our roof replacement services. We also give itemized estimates showing each factor in the estimate and how it contributes to the final quote.
What Goes into the Price of a New Roof in Northeast Virginia?
If you've ever visited multiple online remodeling calculators, you'll probably notice that their roofing estimates are very different. Many homeowners wonder why online estimates for the average roof replacement cost vary so wildly.
Every home is different, with different roofing problems, roofline, and square footage. So, this makes it difficult to create an accurate roof replacement cost breakdown without seeing the property in person.
You may also find that getting multiple in-person estimates from roofing contractors can result in different numbers too. Estimates vary because each contractor has different expenses and desired profit margins. Plus, roofing contractors can have better access to certain materials or a larger team, or even be more or less experienced at the work. All of these labor and materials costs impact the final estimate for a roofing installation.
There are other factors that affect the roof price too:
- Type of Materials: Roofs can be made from a variety of materials, like asphalt, metal, or wood.
- Roof Complexity: The more complicated the roof design the more time and effort it takes to replace, such as steepness, number of angles, or the accessibility.
- Tear-Off Requirements: You may need to have the old roof completely removed before installing the new one, which adds labor costs and waste disposal costs.
- Permitting Costs: The fees for obtaining permits or extra time and costs associated with meeting local code requirements can vary from city to city.
Better Windows are Worth the Investment
Another consideration that affects roofing estimates are the roofing shingles you choose for your home. These roofing materials vary in price from asphalt shingles up to pricier wooden or metal shingles.
By investing in slightly more expensive roofing shingles you can save more in the long-run through increased durability, fewer roof repairs, and a longer lasting warranty.
Fletcher's offers CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro shingles for residential roof replacements. We prefer to work with this brand because their roofing systems are designed to provide comprehensive protection against leaks and wind damage. Their asphalt shingles are also extremely strong, designed to exceed industry standards.
In particular, the Landmark Pro shingle is a heavier asphalt shingle that also includes strong algae stain protection. CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles also boast a range of brighter, more intense roofing shades to enhance your home's curb appeal.
