If you’re getting ready to build a new roof, the biggest question on your mind is probably: how much is this going to cost me? Unfortunately, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly how much a new roof system will cost, so you’re not going to find any specific dollar amounts here. However, we are going to help you get a better idea, so you can start planning your project with all the information on your side. 

Roofing Material

One of the biggest factors of the overall cost of your roof system is the type of roof you want. There are many different types of roofing materials out there that you can choose from based on your personal aesthetic preferences and how much you're willing to spend.  

One of the most affordable options on the market is asphalt shingles, so if you’re remodeling on a budget, this is the way to go. However, they require more maintenance, which can add up over time. Metal roof systems, on the other hand, are among the most expensive to install, but they don’t require much attention and have a considerably longer lifespan.

Roof Size and Slope

The square footage of your roof system is also going to play a big role in the overall cost of the installation process. As you may have guessed, the bigger the roof, the more expensive the project.

That said, size alone isn’t enough to determine the cost. You also need to factor in the slope of your roof system. The slope determines how easily accessible the roof will be, which in turn impacts how difficult it will be to install the roof system itself. 

Roof Components

The fact of the matter is your roof system is not made up solely of shingles, and all these separate components will factor into the final cost of your roofing project. For example, when you choose Shanco to install your new roof, you get to enjoy a quality roof system made from the industry’s best materials: 

  • Plywood decking
  • Ice and water shield
  • Underlayment layer
  • Drip edge
  • Starter shingles
  • Asphalt shingles

Other factors—like the chimney and any other penetrations, including skylights and vents—will also affect the overall cost of the project. Your roofers will have to work with extra care around these parts to install the new roof system, which will impact the time it takes to complete the project and the overall cost, too.

Your Hired Roofers

Finally, the roofing team you choose to complete your project will impact the cost of your project—because every company tends to price its services differently. We can’t say much about other roofers in the area, but we can at least tell you a bit about us! When you choose Shanco to complete your roof replacement, you can enjoy:
