When homeowners are faced with the decision to replace their current roof, it is oftentimes overwhelming. Here are some helpful initial steps to begin the process.

Make a Plan: Don’t wait until a storm has blown off shingles and leaks become worse. Have a professional analyze the condition of your roof and then make a plan for replacement or repairs, if needed.

Consider the Color Options: There are a number of color palettes depending on the roofing material you choose. Explore your neighborhood and take note of roofing and siding combinations that appeal to you. Visit home improvement showrooms to get an up close look at the options available.

Choose the Material: The most common type of material used for roofing is asphalt shingles. Wood or shake shingles, metal roofs, slate and tile are additional options. Depending on where your home is located, asphalt shingles are usually a safe choice. They are incredibly durable, a great value, hold up in extreme weather, and carry high fire ratings.

Compare Pricing: The type of material chosen will determine the cost of replacing a roof, as will the size of the roof and its unique features. Roofing is priced by the square. Asphalt shingles are the most economical, starting at around $50 per square. Slate, tile, and cement are on the high end, starting around $800 per square.
