Replacing some shingles or repairing a damaged frame? Completely swapping out your insulation? From basic repairs to cleaning your gutters, renovations to a tiled or slate roof can cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and the cost cannot be estimated without knowing the materials involved.

It is therefore impossible to know the precise price of a roof renovation without knowing what materials will be used!

Though simple roof repairs should not cost more than $650 on average, a complete roof repair may run you nearly $4,700.

How can you find the best price for a complete roof renovation in Arcadia?

A complete roofing renovation involves a total removal of the cover and very often a re-structuring of the frame. The most important thing is to keep the roof waterproof by preventing leakage and repairing damage caused by humidity. During renovations, some owners take the opportunity to install high-performance insulation which limits energy loss and increases temperature control.

Estimating the price of a roof renovation then amounts to calculating the extent of the work and its cost based on materials needed and the techniques used. Certain building materials like zinc or slate and larger square footage can represent a significant investment. Mechanical tiles, fiber cement and shingle are more affordable.

Here are some price ranges to help you calculate the outlay for such work:

• The cost of a complete roof renovation with replacement of the old materials comes to an average of $7,800 with a price range varying from $5,345 to $10,650
• The cost of a frame renovation ranges from $5,900 to over $25,000
• The average price of a roofing installation including a farmhouse and battens is between $230 and $450 per 1000 square feet
• The cost of insulation inside the roof is between $145 and $200 per 1000 square feet
• The hourly rate of a roofer varies from $40 to $80 per square foot depending on the complexity of the job.

Replacing the entire roof requires a great deal of knowledge of roofing materials, experience and techniques to promote energy savings. The entire project can take several weeks, especially if several teams of independent craftsmen are needed.
