What to think about when selecting a roofing contractor
Obtaining the complete picture is vital before you hire any contractor, including a roofer. Ask questions to be sure you completely understand how a potential candidate for your roofing job does business.
When discussing your project with a roofing professional, consider factors such as the contractor's previous job history and any references they have. You want to see examples of work they've done on jobs similar to yours. You can also ask questions about if the contractor subcontracts any work and how much they charge for the job. Be sure you don't forget to talk to the contractor about warranties and guarantees.
A closer look at roofing repair costs
The median estimate for an asphalt roof replacement can range from $8,700 to $22,000. The major deciding factor in pricing is the size of the home and roof. Larger homes are costlier. Where your home is located also impacts the cost of replacing a roof. Costs in some locations are much less than they are elsewhere.
The expense of replacing a roof with anything other than asphalt shingles can be a lot more. Stone, wood shake, tile, and metal roofs can cost $24,400 to $50,000 when installed by roofing contractors.
If you're contemplating conserving cash by getting your roof fixed, you may be interested in average costs for such jobs. Aggregate costs may run as much as $2,050 or more depending on the specifications of the work to be done.
