What Does a New Roof Cost?

There are several factors that determine the cost of a new roof. The four main cost elements of a reroof project are labor, materials, permits, and disposal.

1. Labor

Labor costs are primarily affected by the size, slope, and complexity of your roof.

Steeper roofs generally cost more because they require additional safety precautions and take longer to complete. The complexity, or "cut," of the roof also affects labor costs. Roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, ridges, and other features require additional labor.

The size of the project can also affect the price per roofing square. In some cases, a larger, straightforward roof may cost less per square to install than a smaller, more complicated roof.

2. Materials

Material costs depend largely on the brand and style of shingles you select, along with the other components required for a complete roofing system.

These materials can include:

• Shingles

• Underlayment

• Ice and water shield

• Starter shingles

• Ridge cap shingles

• Roof ventilation

• Flashing and other accessories

Architectural shingles, specialty products, upgraded ventilation, and premium roofing components can increase the overall material cost.

3. Permits

Permit requirements and costs vary depending on the city, county, and state where the property is located.

When a roofing permit is required, it should be included as part of the overall project cost. Local building departments determine permit fees and applicable roofing requirements.

Reroof Advisors follows applicable local building codes and permitting requirements for each project.

4. Disposal

The cost of removing and disposing of the existing roofing materials depends primarily on the size of the roof and the number of existing roofing layers.

A roof with two layers of shingles will produce considerably more debris than a single-layer roof and can increase disposal and labor costs.

The size and type of dumpster or disposal service required will also affect the final cost.
