One of the main questions RRSA Vero Beach is asked by homeowners is how much will it cost to replace their roof. The majority of homeowners have property insurance that will pay to replace their roof, but still, people like to know about the cost of anything having to do with the improvement of their home. The truth is, having a new roof added to your South Florida home increases your home's value immediately.

So, let's get to the point. How much will it cost to replace your roof? This article from the Miami Herald is a good reference for answering that question. But remember, when RRSA Vero Beach replaces your roof, as a GAF Master Elite Contractor using only the best quality shingles, you get what you pay for.

Here is a portion of that Miami Herald article:

Q: How much does it cost to replace a roof? LINDA G., YONKERS, NEW YORK A: Expect to pay at least $5,000. The precise amount could vary considerably because it depends on three main factors: Size, pitch and material type. Other factors roofing contractors consider include the extent of tear-off of existing material, amount of prep and detail work, and chosen ventilation options. Last year, Angies List members reported paying an average of $8,900 to replace an asphalt-shingled roof. Meanwhile, a top-rated California roofer told us his prices start at $5,000, can reach $25,000 or more, depending on size and material, and average $12,000. A top-rated North Carolina roofer said his range is $4,000 for the lowest-end asphalt shingle project to $150,000 for a high-end slate roof. Roofers charge by what they call a square, which encompasses a 10-by-10-foot area totaling 100 square feet. For example, it would take 30 squares of material to cover a 3,000-square-foot roof. A contractor will likely charge more to cover a steeply pitched roof for several reasons, including the fact that its more difficult and dangerous for workers. In general, the more easily a contractor can access a roof, the less time and material it will take to do the job. Top-rated pros say asphalt shingles are the most affordable roofing option, followed by wood, metal, tile, and slate. Metal can cost about twice the price of asphalt shingles, while slate can be five times more expensive. However, asphalt shingles may last 20 to 30 years; tile, metal, and slate can last 50 years or longer. While price matters, dont make your hiring decision based on cost alone. Seek several bids from companies with a good reputation. Confirm that the company is appropriately licensed, insured and bonded. Include all important details in a written contract, including payment terms and schedule.
