Do you need a new roof for your Dallas home?

The Texan heat can be tough on your roof and if you or the previous owner haven’t properly maintained it, it might need to be replaced. Even if you have put the work into taking care of your roof, time will wear it down and you’ll need to invest in a new one.

It’s always good to know what you’re getting yourself into, so we’re going to give you a hand. Before you get estimates from different companies, it’s good to have an idea of roof replacement cost. You have to take the labor, materials, and a few other things into account, so keep reading and you’ll be able to budget for your new roof.

What Are You Paying For?

Before you start getting estimates, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with what goes into roof replacement and the costs therein. Basically, you’re paying for the various roofing materials and the labor of pulling your old roofing off and properly installing the new one.

There could be additional costs if there’s any damage found on the roof or if you choose to update some of the features of your roof in an older home. When you start talking about adding extra ventilation or fixing your flashing, the costs are going to go up.

Different Types of Roofing Materials

Let’s discuss what we mean when we say “materials”. Roofing materials may vary with every project, depending on if you’re doing a straight reshingling or a full-blown roof overhaul.

A typical roofing project will require some or all of the following materials and features:

• Nails
• Underlayment
• Water barrier
• Flashing
• Drip edge

Furthermore, the type and size of the roof will affect the cost. You’ll have to choose between asphalt shingles, tar and gravel, tile, metal, slate, wood, or composite materials. If you’ve got a big house with a big roof, the project will cost more than if you’ve got a smaller one because you’ll need more materials and more labor.

Roof Replacement Cost

According to Home Advisor, the average roof replacement cost is between $5,400 and $11,000. However, you could spend significantly less or more depending on the factors that we’ve discussed in this article.
