What Are Roof Repair Costs?
Typically, it's cheaper to repair a damaged or aging roof than to completely replace it. Repairs involving roofs average around $1,000. Actual costs can be much more or much less, with average costs of $375 to $1,660.
The average price for roof repairs is determined by:
- The materials required
- The complexity the repair
- The roof’s slope
Keep in mind that steep roofs aren’t just harder to access and work on, they also require added safety measures, all of which cost time and money. Also, replacing a few shingles is a simple roofing repair, but replacing the roof’s shingles, decking and underlayment can be much more costly.
