The Cost of Roof Repair
At some point in time, nearly every homeowner will need to consider having a complete roof restoration done. Hopefully, this decision will be based on a natural choice of yours instead of based on an accident. There are many local and national companies that specialize in both roof repair and roof restoration. It can take a bit of work to locate the best company for the job. Many factors go into it, including travel time, the company's experience and the expense.

The average cost for complete roof restoration, as previously mentioned, can vary quite a bit. It can depend on the crew that performs the work, materials needed, difficulty of job and size of roof. One price does not fit every roof. However, when you get an official estimate, here are numbers that you might expect to see. On the low end, some local companies offer complete restoration at a cost of approximately $2,500. This does not include a warranty. To include a warranty adds an extra $300 approximately to the total. However, this price is very low and not one you necessarily should expect to see. In fact, if you do get this low of an offer, you need to be wary. Many times, the old saying if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Expect to pay more like $4,500 for a roof, not including warranty, for a house of average size and 30 year shingles. If you use the more expensive aluminum shingles, the price will be more like $11,500. It would be more or it could be less. A lot depends on the roof size.
A good estimate for 30 year shingles is approximately $100 for every square foot. If your home is 1,500 square feet, the shingle expense will be approximately $1,500. That doesn't include labor and work, or any equipment needed to do the work. If you have your roof measurements, you can use the rule of thumb to come up with your own rough estimate of what the costs will be for your roof.
