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.
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:
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.
