When it comes to roof replacement, we know price is a top concern. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for roof pricing, but here are the most influential factors that can affect price: 1.) Shingle material: Here are some common options listed from cheapest to most expensive: asphalt, wood, clay or concrete, metal. 2.) Age of the roof: Wear and tear increases with time. It’s common to see more damage on older roofs which can increase labor costs. 3.) Code compliance: Staying compliant with ever-evolving building codes can be a pain in the b*tt and may require more modifications than you signed up for. 4.) Project scope: Determining the full scope of damage to your roof will help you know if roof repair or full replacement is necessary.

Did You Know? The weight of your roofing material plays a critical role in the structural integrity of your building! Heavier materials, like concrete or slate, require stronger support systems, while lighter materials, such as metal or single-ply membranes, can reduce stress on the building’s framework. Choosing the right roofing material isn’t just about aesthetics or cost—it’s about ensuring your building remains safe and structurally sound for years to come. That’s why it’s essential to consult with roofing experts who understand the balance between weight, durability, and performance.

Having your roof done? Don’t just ask for the price— Instead, ask your roofer these questions 1️⃣ What factors impact the cost? Understand how materials, design, and labor affect the overall pricing. 2️⃣ What’s the assessment process? Learn how the contractor evaluates your roof and creates the estimate. 3️⃣ Can you explain the materials? Break down the options—good, better, and best—so you know what works for your needs and budget. Roofing isn’t one-size-fits-all It’s about tailoring the project to fit your specific situation— whether you’re staying long-term or preparing to sell. Ask the right questions, and you’ll get the roof that’s right for you. Your roofing guy, Melvyn #desmoines #roofing #construction #propertymanagement #multifamily #homeimprovement #roofingadvice
