Factors to think about when choosing a roofing contractor
Raise the roof — metaphorically — on your home improvement project by putting in legwork prior to selecting a roofing professional. Begin with web-based ratings to locate roofers that handle similar roofing projects. Once you locate a few potential candidates, be sure to ask questions to ensure they're the best fit before agreeing to hire them.
Here are some things to find out before you hire a roofing professional:
- Can they offer references?
- Have they had experience the same type of roofing gigs?
- What warranties do they provide?
- Who will perform the work, and does the contractor have plans to subcontract?
- What's the cost estimate?
The standard expense to overhaul a roof
The ordinary expense of an asphalt roof is $8,700 to $22,000. Circumstances that impact cost include the location of the home and how big the roof is. If a larger area is involved, that calls for more materials and labor, which means increased costs.
The cost of replacing a roof with materials other than asphalt shingles can be much costlier. Stone, wood shake, tile, and metal roofs can run $24,400 to $50,000 when installed by roofing contractors.
Just repairing your roof might save you some cash if much of your existing roof is in okay shape. The usual cost of roofing repairs is up to $2,050, although it depends on the complexity of the repairs.
