How much does a new roof cost?

Question

Accepted Answer

Several factors affect the cost involved with installing your new roof…

Materials
  Like EVERYTHING in life, You get what you pay for. 
  With so many roofing products on the market, 
  We can help you choose the right products for every application on your home!

Size
  If your home is large your roof will definitely cost more than a smaller house.

Complexity
  All the LITTLE DETAILS of a roof affect the price. 
  This might be a lot of reading, 
  but we encourage you to consider and understand what it takes to install a new roof. 
  COMPLEXITY is the factor that most affects your new roof price. 
  Existing layers, Flashings, valleys, chimneys, dormers, cladding style, 
  roof mounted hardware, Ventilation requirements, framing repairs, 
  overall condition of the property and accessibility (Steep roof, 2-story,excessive landscaping) 
  all play a role in the level of effort required to complete your project

Who
  As with any purchase in life, much of the time, 
  You can expect a trusted company that has stood the test of time to cost a little more than a company that is just starting out in 
  the market. 
  An established company with a brick and mortar location can give you peace of mind should you have an issue arise after the 
  installation.   
  It is best to consider an established company with a minimum of 5 years in operation with a track record of customer satisfaction. 
  A good question for any company you are considering hiring is, 
  WHO is the owner? 
  And 
  HOW can I contact Him/Her should a concern arise?

How
  Not all roofing contractors use the same methods of installation. 
  Just because a roofing contractor has a license does not mean they 
  will install a roof to code.
  Many areas of southern Illinois are unregulated by building departments and home owners have to rely on a company they can 
  trust to install their roof beyond the recommended code requirements. 
  Also, not all roofing contractors RECYCLE the waste from your old roof.
