3 Factors That Add to Roofing Costs

As trusted residential and commercial roofing contractors , Larry Walty Roofing & Guttering Inc. knows how some homeowners figure out how much they’d need to spend for repairing their roof after sustaining recent damage. If you happen to have a leak or a fallen tree branch on your roof, however, it doesn’t mean you’ll have to spend a lot for repairs.

Still, it’s often much better in the long run to have a new roof installed, especially if you’re planning to sell your home later on. Whether you need to repair or replace your roof, here are some of the typical factors you’ll encounter as you plan your project that will affect costs:

1.  Type of Roof Being Repaired or Replaced

For the most part, the job of tearing off an old roof depends on the amount of time it takes to remove, the labor needed, and the dump charges to dispose of the roofing material, which is typically determined by its weight. The heavier the material or the more there is, the longer it takes to remove the old roof and the more it costs to dispose of properly.

2. Type of Roof Warranty

When it comes to residential and  commercial roof repair and replacement, you need to know that there’s a big difference between a standard roofing warranty, where the roofing contractor is backing the labor and workmanship of the project, and an extended or no-dollar-limit (NDL) warranty which is backed by the manufacturer themselves. A manufacturer’s warranty can sometimes be more complicated since it often requires additional steps, materials, and inspections. A fee will also be charged by the manufacturer to back and support the roofing contractor’s labor and workmanship.

3. Type of Roofing Material Used  

Aside from warranties, the type of roofing material you’ll use can also factor in how much you’ll spend for your roofing project. The price of the roofing product being used will also impact the aesthetic design, weight, durability and ultimate longevity of your new roof.
