 If you are planning to replace your home’s roof, it is very important to understand how much this project is 
going to cost you and the factors that affect that cost.  Knowing the cost of the project will help you plan and 
budget for it accordingly. 
 There are various factors that determine roof replacement cost. One of them is the size of the roof. While 
larger square footage may cost more in terms of materials and labor, the overall square foot price may be 
lower. Generally, roofing materials are sold by the square, and not the square foot. If your roof is large, it will 
require more squares, and as a result the replacement cost will be much higher. 
 Another factor that will affect your roof replacement cost is the materials you will use.  There is a wide 
selection of roofing materials on the market in a wide array of prices. Higher quality roofing materials will 
cost you more compared the low quality materials, but they will offer a longer service life as well as better 
protection for your homer and its structural components. If you have a larger roof, you will need more 
roofing materials, and for that reason expect to spend more compared to someone that has a smaller roof.

 The pitch of the roof will also affect the roof replacement cost. A steep roof may not be walkable and 
may require additional planning and setup, something that increases the labor costs. The pitch of the 
roof also determines the type of system that will be installed underneath the top, visible layer of the 
roof. Depending on the type of materials you will use, there are code differences the contractor needs 
to abide by according to its pitch.
