Asphalt roof replacement cost depends on several factors, such as the square footage of your roof, the steepness of your roof pitch, the height of your home, the quality of the roofing materials, and the presence of any structural problems or additional features. The average cost of asphalt roof replacement is $9,000, but it can range from $6,000 to $13,000 depending on the size, height and slope of your roof. The cost per square foot of roof area ranges from $4.35 to $5.00. The bigger and steeper your roof is, the more you will pay.

The more square footage your roof has, the more you will pay for materials and labor. The steeper your roof pitch is, the more difficult and dangerous it is to work on. Roofers need to use special equipment and harnesses to work safely on steep roofs. A 6:12 pitch is considered moderately steep, while a 12:12 pitch is a 45-degree angle. The taller your home is, the more time and effort it takes to replace the roof. You can expect to pay more for labor if your home has three stories or more.

The quality of the roofing materials also affects the price. Asphalt shingles are the most common and affordable option, but they vary in durability and appearance. You can choose from different styles, colors, and warranties.

If you have any structural problems under your old roof, such as rotting wood and holes, you will need to fix them before installing a new roof. This can add extra costs to your bill, depending on the severity of the issue. You may also need to hire a structural engineer to advise on the repair if the roof’s structure is compromised. You should check your homeowner’s insurance policy to see if it covers any of these costs.

If you have any additional features on your roof, such as chimneys and skylights, you will need to pay extra for the labor and materials needed to work around them.

If you want to save money on your asphalt roof replacement cost, you can consider doing a partial roof replacement instead of a full one. This means replacing only the damaged or worn-out sections of your roof, instead of the whole thing. However, this option has some drawbacks, such as mismatched shingles, reduced warranty, and lower resale value. You should weigh the pros and cons of a partial roof replacement before deciding.
