When it's time to replace your roof, we know that one of the top questions on your mind is "What is the cost of replacing a roof?" That is a great question and it can depend on a few things, but here is our answer for you.
A roof is more than just the cost of shingles
People tend to think that the price of a roof replacement is just the cost of the shingles. When considering roof repair costs, however, you need to consider the cost of everything that makes up a complete roofing system. Typical Roofing Systems consist of the following materials:
- Shingles
- Underlayment: Felt, Synthetic, Ice & Water Shield
- Hip / Ridge cap
- Flashing
- Drip edge metal
- Ventilation (ridge vent)
- Pipe boots
- Lead & step flashing
- Nails, caulking, and other small things
Most roofing companies charge by "squares." This is a single 10-by-10-foot patch of roof. The average residential roof generally falls between 22 to 26 squares to replace. Prices are generally higher for roofs that are particularly steep.
Prices for asphalt shingles, the most common type of shingles used here in Utah, will cost between $120 and $140 per square. Doing some simple math, this means the average roof replacement cost can range from $5,000 – $12,000 in total. But in all reality, that is roughly $166 to $400 per year over the life of your roof to ensure everything in your home is protected from the outside elements.
