"I contacted J Tech about a full roof replacement after I had been ignored by two competitor companies for almost a year. J Tech called me back immediately, scheduled an appointment, and had someone meet with me within a week of contacting them. They did an excellent job of explaining the process of putting on a new roof and the products they would be using. They also answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns I had. Once we signed our contract and paid our down payment, it was about an eight week wait for our new roof. Once they were able to start on my roof, they had the entire project done in a day and cleaned things up so well that the only indication that they had been at our house was the new roof. I plan on using J Tech for any future roofing needs I have and highly recommend them."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The cost to replace a roof typically ranges from $8,700 to $22,000, with a national average of around $9,200. The total cost depends on the size of your roof and whether you need a full replacement or can simply place new shingles over the old ones. A full replacement, which is necessary if the roof is several decades old or has multiple layers, is more expensive. This process involves tearing off the old roofing materials, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, and then installing the new roof.

The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:

  • Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.

  • Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.

Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible. 

Metal roofs last for between 50 and 70 years, and asphalt roofs last for between 20 and 25 years, with some lasting as long as 30 years. In most cases, you’ll get double the life or more out of a metal roof than you would from a shingle roof, which helps make the higher cost of a metal roof more manageable.

DIY is possible for minor repairs. Professional services ensure proper sealing and alignment for larger issues.
