Your roof protects your home from the sun, wind, snow, and rain, making it susceptible to wear and tear. Eventually, the roof reaches the end of its service life and it’s time to prepare for a roof replacement. Hinkle Roofing, the leading roofing company in our area, can handle all your roof replacement needs. If you have a roof over a decade old, we recommend preparing a roof replacement budget.
Here are a few tips:
Ask a Reputable Contractor for an Estimate
Consider several factors when preparing your roof replacement, such as the pitch of your roof, the size of your home, the extent of the damage, the estimated project duration, and the materials you choose. We recommend asking for a free estimate for an experienced roofer like Hinkle Roofing. We can provide you with an accurate quote and discuss all aspects of your upcoming roof replacement.
Consider the Cost of the Roofing Material
When choosing your roof materials, think of both the short-term and long-term costs. For
example, metal roofing systems can have a high initial cost but they can make up for it with their decades-long life span. Different roof materials also have different installation methods and this can affect the project’s overall cost. Flat roofs, for instance, often have multiple layers of roofing materials. When preparing your budget, make sure to include the disposal costs for your old roofing materials as well.
Prepare for Unexpected Issues
It’s best to prepare a larger budget than the initial estimate. During the roof replacement, your roofing contractor can find issues with areas of your home. An experienced roofer, like Hinkle Roofing, is aware of these eventualities. We will discuss possible roadblocks to your project and help you prepare your budget.
