Shingle Roofing Replacement: How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

Whether your roof has been damaged by a storm or has just reached the end of its life, you may be thinking about re-roofing. There are, of course, many options and variables to consider. And one of the biggest questions you will ask yourself is “how much will I spend”?

As with so many home projects, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally speaking, the cost of a typical new shingle roof in Delaware hovers around $8000-$12,000.

Shingle Roofing Replacement: How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

Roofing costs vary depending on location and contractor, but on average, you can expect to pay between $1.50 and $4 per square foot for an asphalt shingle roof, which includes installation cost. That’s a wide difference, obviously. So what specifically influences the price?

The exact price is dependent on several variables we outline below.

Materials

Roofing materials come in a wide range of price points, depending on the style and quality of all the materials used during the installation. The most common roofing materials in use in the USA are asphalt composition shingles, and they are among the least expensive. Higher-grade shingles come with longer warranties, as well as higher price tags.

Installation cost will also vary depending on whether you’re using common three-tab strips or the thicker individual roof shingles.

Roof Size & Type

The impact of the size of your roof on the final cost should be self-explanatory: the bigger the roof’s square footage, the greater the cost.

The shape and structure of your home’s roof go a long way in impacting the roof replacement cost as well. If your house has a steep roof, it will have more square feet and take more out of your pocket. In addition to more surface area, a steep-pitched roof is more labor-intensive to install.

Other issues impacting the re-roofing cost: chimneys and/or skylights the roofing contractor needs to work around, multiple valleys and peaks vs. simple, “smooth” surface.

Old Material Removal

You’ll pay more for a new asphalt shingle roof if you have to tear off old roofing first. Most often than not your insurance will not allow more than one or two layers, so you may need to remove old material before installing a new layer. Also, if you have to repair or replace the wood decking and put down new roofing paper or waterproofing, the price will go up.

Time of Installation

If you want to save money, consider re-roofing in the off-season when your contractor is less busy and his prices are negotiable. Most roofing installations happen in spring and fall but if you can avoid the busiest months, you may be able to negotiate a better deal with the roofing contractor.

Contractor’s Fees

There’s a wide range of contractors out there who charge various prices depending on multiple factors, including experience, size of the crew and company, warranties, and guarantees offered, etc. Research is your best bet in narrowing your list down to reliable companies that can provide you with a detailed quote for your roofing replacement. Remember, lower prices don’t necessarily mean lower quality of work.

Shingle Roofing Installation Estimate: 7 Crucial Points to Remember
Installing a new shingle roof is a huge commitment, so be sure you understand the entire roofing estimate process from start to finish. Knowledge is power, and ensures you’ll be happy with your new roofing installation.

Shingle Roofing Installation Estimate: 7 Crucial Points to Remember

Begin with these seven crucial points from the roofing experts.
1. Do your homework. Even if you know you want roof shingles, think about what type of shingles you’d like to install. Architectural shingles give your roof a three-dimensional look and are extremely durable. This type of shingle is also more pricey than 3-tab shingles, which are a smoother, pressed material. The price difference between the two shingle types can make a big difference in your total roofing estimate.
2. Get your measurements. Know the pitch of your roof and the type of room you have, whether it’s gabled, a dormer, or a hip roof. Different configurations lead to different price points. Hip and gable roofs contain more sloping planes and may cost more in roofing materials.
3. Shop around. Request a free roofing estimates from a variety of contractors. This is an important part of the installation estimate process. Compare companies based not only by the prices they quote, but also by their level of experience and customer service.
4. Know what you’re paying for. The majority of your roofing estimate is the materials cost. Labor to both rip out the old roofing and lay down the new shingles makes up another part. Don’t forget to factor in any holiday or weekend overtime if you need your new roof installed immediately.
5. Discuss a timeline with your roofing contractor. Your roofing estimate is not just about the money you’re spending. The estimate should contain a detailed time line of targeted completion dates for each phase of installation.
6. Ask about discounts. Your DE roofing contractor may offer seasonal discounts for shingle installation. Don’t be afraid to inquire.
7. Get it in writing. Your shingle roof installation estimate should include written information about warranties for both materials and labor.

Roofing Replacement: Why Investing in Quality Material Is Smart
When it is time to replace your aging or damaged roof, think about the quality of materials you’d like to use for your home in the next installation. High-quality, high-performance materials are praised for improving the value and look of your home, and providing optimum protection for your residence during damaging weather.

Roofing Replacement: Why Investing in Quality Material Is a Smart Move

Homeowners should look for roofing materials that have been tested and found to withstand severe hail, as well as high winds. Your Delaware roofing contractors can provide you with advice on the best roofing materials for your residential application.

High quality roofing materials available today
- Tile: Roofing tile lasts a long time, requires minimal maintenance, and will not burn, rot, or get eaten by insects. It comes in a wide range of colors and types, and provides a clean, stylish look for many home types.
- Slate: These rock-like slivers provide a beautiful, natural look for any home. Slate lasts for decades, is low maintenance, and is invulnerable to fire, insects and rot. Colors are more “natural” than that of tile, but there are many available. Slate is a costly choice, but its longevity and quality are undisputed.
- Metal: Standing-seam steel, copper and aluminum are trendy roofing choices—and some of these metals can be made to look like individual shingles or tiles rather than flat panels. Metal roofs are often made from recycled materials, and absorb much less heat than other roofing options. Because of this, homeowners save money on utility bills: in some cases, up to 20 percent or more. And, like slate and tile, metal roofs are impervious to insects and rot.
- High-quality composition shingles: Complementing virtually any home style, composition shingles are the most common type of roofing because of their affordability and style versatility. Some premium shingles are designed to emulate more costly materials like slate or tile, while others contain special granules that offer advanced UV-protection for your roof. All Roofing Solutions carries a wide range of composition shingles to suit any look and budget.

Featured Project: Shingle & Flat Roofing Installation in Wilmington DE
Today we’d like to feature a re-roofing project we did last fall in Wilmington, Delaware. The homeowner was shopping around for a local contractor to replace an aging roof on his property. There were shingles missing, some were damaged by hail. Additionally, many flashing strips were rusty or chipped, and algae took over the northern side of the roof. There was a small leak around the chimney as well.

In other words, the old roof needed to go – repairs weren’t going to cut it!

The homeowner wanted high quality shingles that could withstand East Coast’s harsh weather conditions for decades to come. Additionally, he needed flat roofing system reinstalled over the attached garage.

After a thorough inspection of the roofing structure – both interior and exterior check was done – we determined that tearing the old roofing material off was necessary, as the damage was too significant. Wood decking needed to be repaired/replaced, and this would build a solid foundation for the new roofing material.

After some research, the homeowner selected GAF Timberline HD Lifetime asphalt shingles, the #1-selling shingles in North America. We also decided on GAF flat roofing system for the small section over the garage.

All Roofing Solutions has been helping Delaware homeowners transform their homes from old to new for well over 15 years – we are fully licensed and insured to do roofing & siding work in DE & PA!

Residential Shingle Roofing: Deciding to Repair vs. Replace
When it comes to fixing your roof, the decision whether to repair or replace it can be overwhelming for homeowners.

The cost of replacing a roof is much higher than what you’d typically pay for repairs, however, you need to consider future expenses as well when deciding which way to go. At the same time, it’s not just about the cost involved – there are other factors to consider – and this is the topic of today’s post.

The “Repair or Replace” Dilemma: Factors to Consider

Experts recommend that you perform a thorough roof inspection at least once a year to determine if there are any underlying problems that need to be addressed. If you catch any such issues early enough, you’ll be able to address them properly with a repair job. Left unchecked for an extended period of time, minor problems can grow into major nightmares, leaving you with little choice but to undertake a more expensive and laborious replacement project.

Generally speaking, repairing your roof makes more sense if:
- You have a minor problem, such as a leak or crack, that can be fixed without affecting adjacent and underlying systems
- You have localized damage but the structural components are intact
- You’re addressing purely cosmetic issues
If your roof has been damaged by a weather-related event or accident, your homeowners’ insurance policy may cover the cost of the repairs. Review your coverage and contact your insurance provider if you have questions about specific perils named in your policy.

On the other hand, a full roof replacement is likely a better idea if:
- Major structural problems, such as damaged roof decking, rotted or unstable rafters, or ineffective insulation, are present
- Your existing roof is more than 15 to 20 years old; in this case, it will probably make more sense to replace it outright while the contractor is on-site, since you’re likely to have to install a new roof in the near future anyway
- Signs of serious wear are present
- You’re experiencing ongoing leaks or other issues with your current roof
Work With Local Roofer

The “repair or replace” decision is one you should make with the help of some professional advice and guidance.

Bottom line: having a professional roof inspection is a good place to start if you’re unsure which path to follow; this is a low-cost and reliable way to diagnose the extent of your roof problems and choose the best course of action for addressing them.

If you live in in Delaware or southeastern Pennsylvania, consider calling All Roofing Solutions, a full service contractor with over 15 years in the roofing business. Family owned and operated, we pride ourselves with excellent workmanship and great customer service!
