What are the factors that impact how much a roof replacement costs?

Every roof job is unique, so you can expect the cost to increase or decrease based on certain factors. Typically, these things cause an increase in cost, but there are some ways to keep prices down.

Type of roof material

As you saw with the costs above, the type of roof material will significantly impact the cost. Most homeowners choose asphalt shingles because they're the most affordable option for a standard roof.

Quality of roof material

Every material has different levels of quality. Lower quality materials are cheaper but won't last as long. Higher quality materials are stronger and more durable, but they also cost more.

The size and slope of your roof

The bigger and steeper your roof is, the more you'll need to pay in labor costs. A big roof takes more time to cover, and a steep roof can be dangerous to walk on. Your roofer will need to set up extra safety precautions.

Yard accessibility

If your house has trees or a garden right next to it, your roofer will have to take extra steps to get on the roof. They'll also need to take extra precautions when removing the old shingles from the roof. This all adds to labor costs.

Fixing issues on your roof

If your roofer notices that your roof decking is rotting or your ventilation is out of date (or any other issues), then they'll recommend that you get these issues fixed during the roof replacement.

Additional roof work

You can also request that your roofer help with extra things like installing a skylight or new gutter guards. This will increase the cost of the job.

How Much Does a Roof Repair Cost in Seattle?

Sometimes your roof doesn't need to be fully replaced, but there are one or two sections that need to be repaired.

A roof repair can cost anywhere from $600 to $10,000+ due to the wide range of possible repairs. On average, Seattle homeowners pay $1,000 to $3,000 for roof repairs.

The most common issue that we see in the Seattle area is a leak caused by damage, worn-out materials, or poor installation. Here are some examples:

Pipe Boots or Roof Vents

$600+

Typically, replacing a pipe boot or vent is fairly straightforward. This price can increase if you need multiple vents replaced.

Flashing and Valleys

$1,000 to $3,000

These are two vulnerable areas on the roof that can leak when they're old and worn or poorly installed. Debris build-up is common in poorly-designed valleys.

Missing Shingles

$1,000 to $3,000

If your shingles blew off in a storm, this leaves open patches of your roof vulnerable to leaks and further damage.
