It’s hard to narrow down how much a new roof is going to cost you because there are a few factors that will influence the total cost. Usually, a new roof is in the range of $4 to $40 per square foot, which includes labor and the products being used. The cost of your new roof will be determined by the products you want installed, and you can expect that 60% of the price will be for labor.

Estimating the size of your roof can also be challenging if you have a more complex roof because you’ll have to account for hips, gabbles, and other angles. Here's how a roofing professional can be helpful to you. They’ll be able to decipher the measurements of your roof and provide you with an accurate estimate on the cost of your roof.

It's possible to get your roof replaced during any season, fall is the most common time of year for a roof replacement. Since it is a common time for roof replacements, it can be difficult to book time with a professional. This is why winter could be a better time for services.

Many roofing companies are slow during the colder months, but you could have more delays because of erratic weather conditions. And summer is similar to winter, but instead of being cold, you’d be putting up with the heat.

Spring is also not a bad time for roof replacement services. While there's a chance it can still be wet and slightly uncertain, it’s beginning to warm up, and any roofing damage you’ve gotten during the winter will be uncovered.

The reason why a good roof is so fundamental for you is because it protects your property, increases your home's value, and makes your energy efficiency better.

The roof is the defensive barrier for your entire property. It defends against harsh weather, falling objects, and more. This means if your roof is in bad condition, you could get leaks in your home, which can cause other issues.

Your roof also contributes a lot to your curb appeal. Because it’s such an important component of your property, a roof in good condition shows a reliable property. If you were looking to sell, a buyer would be much more excited about your property if it has a solid, stable roof over it.

Finally, everyone is content with an energy efficient house. It means your utility bills are lower and that your house maintains a comfortable temperature.

The timeframe for a roof replacement really depends on the size of your roof, however, there are also many other factors to think about. The average roof for a residence is approximately 3,000 sq. feet (sometimes less), so usually, a roofing professional can finish a roof replacement within a working day.

Something else you need to take into account is the weather forecast in your area. Poor weather will put a stop to work and this is going to postpone the job. If this is going on during your roof replacement project, you should anticipate your roof taking a few more days to finish.

The layout of your roof is another factor that you should consider. Its grade, the number of joints, valleys, and facets will need to be accounted for when your roofing contractor is quoting you on your project. A roof with more features will require a longer timeline and your roof replacement specialist can approximate a timeline for the project.
