3 Factors That Affect the Price of a New Roof

Estimating the Roof Cost

Many factors affect roof costs. Everything from the size, the pitch, and the materials you choose, either increases or decreases the value of a new roof. In the case of roof replacement, if underlying damage exists, it will need to be addressed before the installation work begins, and, letting problems unattended raises the price of the roofing repair.

That being said, let’s take a look at some of the leading factors that affect the price of buying a new roof in Colorado.

1. Roofing System Components

Apart from the shingles you choose, ventilation and insulation installation, the type of underlayment and decking materials selected, among others, all carry a different level of longevity, manufacturing cost, performance, and thus, price.

2. Roof Access

If the roof is hard to access, the experts will need more equipment and do extra labor to remove the existing one, load the roofing materials, stage the roof, and complete the job. This means that the easier the access, the less time and elements are necessary to complete the roof system.

3. Roof Extras

Last but not least, there are finish details, as well as preparation details, that have an impact on the cost of the roofing job. Things like chimneys and skylights bring more beauty to your home, but they also increase the price. Working on these items requires more materials and labor, elevating the overall costs.
