Dealing with roof problems? Worried about how much it will cost you to have it repaired?
We understand that replacing your roof is a significant investment. We want to make the process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free.
Whether you’re dealing with leaks, missing shingles, weather damage, or simply want to upgrade your home’s look, our expert team here at Nor’East Exteriors wants to lend a helping hand.
Transparent Pricing for Peace of Mind
At Nor’East Exteriors, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality roofing solutions tailored to your needs, but we also know that price is one of the biggest factors when considering a roof replacement.
So how much does a new roof cost? Our pricing for standard homes is as follows:
- 1000 sq ft home: $6,500
- 2000 sq ft home: $12,500
- 3000 sq ft home: $18,500
A standard home consists of a roof line with a walkable pitch, few or no valleys or dormers, and minimal flashing required. These estimates reflect the cost of shingle roof removal and installation.
Each home is unique and may require additional components, which will change the overall cost to replace a roof.
Factors That Affect the Average Roof Replacement Cost
We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden fees. That said, there are some factors that can impact the cost of roof replacement or repair. We always recommend getting a consultation before booking any kind of work.
Here’s a rundown of variables we’ll factor into your final estimate:
Large or Multiple Chimneys
Chimneys are more than just charming architectural features – they can also complicate roofing projects.
Large or multiple chimneys require additional flashing and sealing to ensure no water leaks into your home. This extra work can add to the overall cost, but it’s crucial for a watertight finish.
Multiple Side-Walls
Side-walls involve the intersection between your roof and the vertical walls of your home. Multiple side-walls mean more complex flashing and sealing work to prevent leaks.
The extra labor and materials required to correctly address these areas will influence the final cost.
Large or Multiple Valleys
Roof valleys are where two slopes meet, and, though aesthetically pleasing, they also happen to be critical areas for water drainage. Large or numerous valleys increase the amount of work needed to ensure proper waterproofing and shingle installation.
Vent Replacement
Vents are crucial for attic ventilation, preventing moisture buildup and prolonging the life of your roof.
If your vents are old or damaged, replacing them during a roof replacement is a smart move, and it’s one we often recommend to homeowners. However, it does add to the cost.
Number of Layers of Existing Shingles
Does your roof have multiple layers of shingles? Each layer must be removed before the new roof can be installed, increasing labor costs.
It might be more work, but it ensures your new roof has a solid foundation. Skip this step, and your roof will be more vulnerable to leaks, as well as mold and algae growth.
Decking Replacement
The decking is the foundation of your roof, providing support for the shingles. If your decking is damaged or rotting, it will need to be replaced.
This essential step ensures the structural integrity of your new roof but can add to the total cost depending on the extent of the damage.
Dormers
Dormers add character to your home, but also add complexity to roof replacement. They need to be carefully worked around to make sure you get the proper sealing and shingle placement.
Again, this can take more time and materials.
The Pitch of the Roof
The pitch, or steepness, of your roof, directly affects the difficulty and safety of the roofing project. The steeper the roof, the more challenging and time-consuming the job.
Steep roofs require extra safety measures and make the installation process more complex and time-consuming, affecting the overall cost.
Existing Roofing Material
Different roofing materials require different methods of removal and disposal.
For example, removing shingles tends to take more time to remove than a metal roof, and removing a tile roof is more labor-intensive than removing asphalt shingles. Even the disposal fees vary between different types of roofing materials.
Taken together, the type of existing material can dramatically influence the cost and time required for the project.
Skylights
Just like dormers, skylights are a beautiful addition to any home, but they also require extra care during a roof replacement. They need to be properly sealed and flashed to prevent leaks, adding to the complexity and cost of the job.
Local Building Codes and Permits
At Nor’east Exteriors, we work in several towns, including Chester, Essex, Old Lyme, Madison, Killingworth, and Deep River, CT. Depending on which neighborhood you live in, local building codes and permits can impact the cost of your roof replacement.
Some areas have stricter regulations that require additional materials or specific installation methods. You’ll want to factor in these costs from the beginning to avoid unexpected expenses.
Seasonal Considerations
The time of year when you choose to replace your roof can also impact the cost. Our roofing projects are typically more expensive during peak seasons, such as spring and summer, when we tend to be in high demand.
Scheduling your roof replacement during the off-season (though not in the winter, when roofing work is typically not as feasible here in Connecticut) might help you secure better rates and faster service.
