What Can Increase the Cost of Your Roof Replacement?

September 2, 2022 by chelsea brooke

There’s no getting around it – a roof replacement is a costly undertaking. Just how expensive it is will depend on a number of important factors, including the following:

Roof Replacement

Additional Repairs

Unwelcome surprises are not exactly uncommon in larger home projects, especially those that involve the roof. Maybe your contractor has just discovered water damage on the roof structure, or perhaps, your roof system is no longer up to code. These extra repairs add to your overall project costs, and you absolutely need to have them done if you want to keep your new roof sturdy and long-lasting.

Type of Material

Basically, the tougher and better-looking the roofing materials, the costlier they are. This is especially true for classic roof options like tile, wood shake and slate. But if you want an alternative material that can provide the same look and almost the same weather performance – but at a fraction of the cost – Goodrich Roofing has got you covered. As a GAF Certified Master Elite® Roofing Contractor, we provide access to some of the highest quality asphalt shingle roofing systems available today. They’re not only designed for superior weather protection; they also emulate the natural beauty of more premium roof materials.

Permitting

Because a roof replacement involves extensive alterations to your home and its structure, it requires a permit before the project can move forward. This is yet another factor that adds to your overall costs. But since building codes relating to roof replacement exist for your safety, acquiring the necessary permits to guarantee the project will be up to code is the least you could do. Additionally, non-compliance can lead to hefty fines. If you’re already conscious about your budget, having to pay fines is the last thing you want.

What You Can Do

Sure, a complete roof replacement will take a considerable amount of your money. But you’ll soon find that the benefits it provides more than make up for the higher initial costs. Greater weather protection, increased curb appeal and improved comfort and energy efficiency – these are just some of them. Still, you’ll want to take measures that ensure you don’t overspend. That’s why you have to set aside a contingency budget when planning your roof replacement. Having a buffer in place is handy because it not only deals with unexpected issues, but ensures that your project will stay on track.
