Installing a New Roof

Removing the old roof is an important step in installing a brand new roof. This involves removing asphalt shingles from the roof with a shingle pick. The shingles are then disposed of in dumpsters or garbage cans placed near the house. To minimize damage, the homeowner must prepare their yard and house before beginning the project.

Cost of a new roofing

A new roof could add $10,000 to $20,000 on top of the property's current value. Many times, homeowners insurance will cover the cost for a new roof. The cost of the new roof is dependent on the type of shingle you choose, the pitch of the roof, and the materials to be removed. In general, labor costs account for 60 percent of the total cost of a new roof project. It also depends on which roof shingles are chosen. Basic asphalt shingles are typically priced between $2,000 and $4,000. Synthetic slate, on the other hand, can be as high as $12,000 to $30,000.

Cost of a new roof will vary from one roofing contractor, and may include the cost of building permits or building codes. The size and complexity of the job will impact the labor costs. Additional 10% can be charged for overhead costs. These include business overhead.

Indemnity insurance

Installing a new roof is a big expense. Make sure your insurance policy covers it. Your insurance policy will cover either the total cost of the roof or repairs. A standard homeowners policy typically covers the cost of roof replacement if a natural disaster damages it. This policy usually covers hail, wind damage, fire, explosions, as well as falling objects.

The deductible is an important consideration when you are choosing an insurance policy. You may have different deductibles depending on the policy type or state. If you live near a storm-prone state, you might consider adding a hail and winds deductible to the policy.

Preparing for Installation

Before your roof is installed, there are several things you need to do. First, protect your home from debris and dust that could fall from the roof. To prevent your cars from getting trapped or scratched by debris, it is a good idea for you to get them out of your driveway. Protect your furniture, bedding, etc. from being damaged by construction debris.

You should also ensure that any items under your roof or in your attic are secured. If you have children, arrange for someone else to take care of them during construction. It is important to ensure your pets are safe from the debris and loud noises that can cause them harm.
