• As your homes first line of defense against
  mother nature and everything she throws at us,
  your roof should be kept in good condition at all
  times, and any damage to it can put the safety of
  you, your family and your home, at risk. With
  this in mind, repairing your roof swiftly when
  its damaged, or replacing it when repair work is
  no longer feasible, is essential for the
  longevity of your home, and should never be left
  overdue. However, some roof repairs can be
  costly, and relacing your entire roof may be an
  expense you hadnt accounted for.
• The following information should help you narrow
  down the potential costs of having your roof
  replaced

• What factors can affect the cost of a roof
  replacement?
• Several factors typically come into play when
  planning a roof replacement, and the most common
  are listed below
• Materials
• The choice of material for your roof will be the
  primary factor affecting its cost, and as such,
  its important that you talk through your options
  with a reputable roofing contractor in your
  locality.

• Color
• The color of the shingles you choose for your new
  roof can greatly impact its overall cost, and
  certain colors and designs will cost
  significantly more than others. Again, have a
  detailed conversation with your local roofing
  contractor to determine what your options are,
  and which ones fit in with your budget.
• Roof pitch steepness
• If your roof is very steep, the harder it will be
  for a roof replacement company to install it, and
  this may inevitably involve more labor or
  expensive tools and equipment to ensure the roof
  is replaced correctly and professionally.

5

• The number of layers
• A roof with more than one layer will always cost
  more to rip out and replace, simply because it
  takes longer to carry out the work, and some
  older roofs may have up to four layers of roofing
  shingles. Its important to keep in mind that
  more than one layer of shingles on a roof isnt
  good for the property, as it can cause it to sag
  due to the weight of the shingles and nails used.
  Ideally, your roof should have just one layer of
  shingles to help make leaks easier to fix and
  prevent any structural damage to your home.

• What is the best way to replace a roof?
• A complete rip and replacement of a damaged roof
  is the best way to make sure that it lasts
  longer. While this naturally costs more, when you
  compare it to the added costs of having to rip up
  more than one layer of shingle to carry out
  repairs or even to replace your roof in the
  future, its a no-brainer, and is the smart
  choice when trying to make your home and your
  roof, last a lifetime.
• If you want or need to replace your roof, or are
  not sure whether roof repairs might be suitable,
  talk to your local roofing contractor for some
  professional, unbiased advice and in many cases,
  a free, non-obligatory consultation/assessment.
