If you are investing in a new roof, you may be curious about what makes up the costs. Roofing costs can change significantly depending on various factors like roof size and material option.

As a professional roofing company, we have completed countless roofing installations. This article will discuss what goes into the cost of a new roofing system. 

Roof Size and Slope

The overall size of your property and its roof will have a big influence on the roof's costs. Large roofing systems require more materials and more labor hours to complete.

Additionally, the slope or pitch of the roof will play a role as the steeper roof requires more time to complete. Flat or low-slope roofs will cost the least, as they don't require specialized safety equipment and more labor hours. 

Roofing Materials

Your choice of roofing material will have a big impact on the overall cost of the new roof. Asphalt shingles are a popular option due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation.

A metal roofing system will cost significantly more than asphalt shingles, but it has a longer lifespan and durability. It's best to find a balance of cost, longevity, and appearance for your home's roof. 

Underlayment and Accessories 

Underneath the visible roofing materials are critical underlying features like underlayment, flashing, vents, and insulation. These materials are crucial for a roof's performance, so it's important to invest in high-quality options.

While choosing premium underlayment can increase the initial investment, it will save you money in the long term. High-quality underlayment and accessories often require fewer repairs than cheaper alternatives. 

Labor and Warranty

Labor expertise and warranties contribute to the overall cost of the roofing installation. A reputable roofing contractor will charge more for their experience, trained crews, and insurance.

Additionally, a reputable roofer will stand by their work with comprehensive warranties. A workmanship and material warranty will bring you peace of mind that your investment in a new roof is protected.
