Home improvement projects are a necessary part of home ownership. Whether it’s bathroom remodeling, porch addition or roof repairs and replacements. In any case, most of these projects, especially those involving roofing systems and indoor renovations, don’t come cheap. If you are wondering why, then let Northwest Construction, your trusted home improvement contractors break it down and discuss the main things that can add to the total cost of a roof repair or replacement project:
For Roof Repair
Roof Type — Not all roofs are alike, so naturally, the cost of fixing them will vary as well.
Damage Extent — Minor repairs, like patching up a leak, will definitely not be as expensive as say, replacing a few roofing sheets or renovating the underlying structure.
Permits — Some local codes require roofers to obtain a permit before performing roof repairs. The cost of these permits will reflect in the total cost of the project.
For Roof Replacement
Roof Size — Simply put, the bigger the roof, the higher the cost of replacing it.
Roof Pitch or Slope — This adds up to total roof replacement costs for two reasons — first, steep roofs are hard to walk on, which means the job requires more staging, safety and labor to complete. Secondly, roof pitch determines the type of underlayment to be used, which will be factored into the total cost.
Type of Material — This applies to other home improvement projects like siding and window replacements. If you want a quality material, then you’ll have to be prepared to shell out a few extra bucks. Of course, quality materials pay off in the long-run, so it is money well spent.
Additional Roof Details — These range from type and quality of the lumber being used for rafters and fascia, counter-flashing details and finishing sealants. All these features add up to the total cost.
