Installing new roofing is a very important process. Your roof provides protection for your home and that is why the high quality of the work done is so essential. Roof replacement is time-consuming too, so you should plan it in advance. From this article, you’ll find out the basics of the process.
The choice of roofing materials often depends on your location, weather conditions as well as on your taste. A roofing company that is managing the roof replacement for you will help you pick the best one. Another factor that affects the choice is a roof pitch (angle).
Here are some of the most common choices for residential roofs:
There is no single answer to the cost question. There are a lot of different factors that define the cost: roofing materials, the pitch, the area of your roof, the roofing contractor you pick, and even the season. Nationwide, a typical asphalt shingle roof will cost between $3.50 and $5.50 per square foot.
The optimal roofing season is from late spring to early fall, but some skilled teams can extend the work season. In off-season time you can even enjoy lower prices since the demand is low. Just try to choose “dry” periods with no snow or rain.
Make your own research before the replacement just so you can understand the steps of the process. It will make you familiar with it and you will be able to ask your contractor more specific questions about your project. A typical roof installation by an experienced crew of 5-6 members can take only 3 or 4 days.
