Factors that Affect Roof Replacement Costs

- Type of Roofing Material – The type of material you choose for your roof replacement will significantly impact the overall cost. Popular materials for upstate NY are:
- Asphalt Shingles Roofing (most popular)

- Standing Seam Metal Roofing (high end metal roofing)
- Synthetic Shingle (very rare)
- Roof Size – The size of your roof is another crucial factor in determining the cost of a roof replacement. The larger your roof, the more materials and labor will be required to complete the project.
- Roof Pitch – The pitch of your roof can also affect the cost of a roof replacement. A steeper roof requires more labor and safety measures, which can increase the total cost of the project. Depending on your home roof, the roof may be what we in the industry call “walkable”, while other roofs the only way to maneuver yourself is with ropes and specialized equipment.
- Underlayment and Decking – If the decking or underlayment of your roof needs repair or replacement, this will also impact the total cost. Some home decking may be completely compromised.
