Roof Replacement Cost in 2019: New Roof Installation Prices
We
all want to get the best possible deal when it comes to spending our hard
earned money. However, there are some items that fall in the “never bargain
shop” category.
What to Expect in Terms of Costs?
A
new asphalt shingles roof for a typical 2,000 sq. ft. single-story ranch house
can range in price from $8,500 to $16,500 fully installed.
Across the US, a typical architectural asphalt shingle roof will cost between
$3.50 and $5.50 per sq. ft. to install. This price range normally includes the cost of materials, removal of the old roof (up to 1 layer), dumpster and disposal
fees, permitting fees, professional installation, and workmanship warranty.
Varying factors that can affect your cost are: the brand and type of shingles; the type of underlayment; the slope of the
roof; complexity of the job; the company installing the roof and the region.

Having
a roof over your head is a basic, essential need. Yet, when the time comes
to have a new roof installed, a typical homeowner will either pay too much by
going through the local home improvement store like Lowe’s or Home Depot, which
by the way does not necessarily guarantee quality, or inadvertently, opt for a
low quality roof by hiring a contractor with the lowest bid.
Beyond the Basics
Many
homeowners make these often-poor choices, because they don’t really understand
the importance of a good roof in the first place, as they lack general roofing
knowledge, as well as fear getting ripped off, often justifiably so.
This
guide will give you the knowledge necessary to hire a reputable contractor and get the best roof for your money.
