Every homeowner needs to know exactly where his money goes when investing in home renovations. First, the buyer must decide if the new purchase is worth it. For most homes, a new tiled roof is a significant investment.
Before ordering a new shingle roof, you need to know how the final roof replacement price is determined. The cost of a new roof depends on the roof’s size, type, and pitch.
However, many roofing contractors are facing the problem of naming a price for a project before a roofing inspection at the property.
A professionally conducted inspection will help to understand the main issues, the complexity of the work, the exact cost of materials, and the labor cost.
What is the price per foot?
Often you see “price per foot” information for a new tile roof. What does it mean?
The contractor takes the average cost of replacing shingles and multiplies it by the number of square feet. For example, for a 3,000-square-foot house with a price per foot of $4. The cost of a complete roof replacement would be $12,000. This is the average cost of a new tiled roof for a three-bedroom, two-bath house.
When you ask for a roof replacement price from your contractor, they usually quote a price per foot so you can get a rough estimate.
The price may vary from house to house because no properties are the same. That is why contractors cannot set the same price for all clients.
What is the approximate cost of a new shingle roof?
Let’s try and calculate the approximate market price of a new roof replacement.
If you have a one-story house with a standard gable roof, the average cost of roof replacement is $4 per foot when you choose regular tiles with original components.
