The price of a roof is determined by a number of factors. Price factors include pitch, access, labor, and cost of materials. The price range can be quite varied due to these factors. The biggest factor is the size, with roofers charging per square. One square of roofing is 10x10 feet. A roof covering 3,000 square feet is divided into 30 squares. The average U.S. house measures 1,700 square footage.
A metal roof is a less costly option. When installed correctly, it allows snow and other ice to slide off of your home's roof instead of adhering. Metal roofs can bring extra heat from sunlight into your home which can lower your heating bills in the winter months.

All estimates for roof replacement costs are based upon local averages. These prices do not include any cost of old roof removal or additional structural repair. Because of many factors, individual estimates for roof replacement costs in Orlando or Central Florida may vary. They could be lower or higher than the ranges shown.
Your roofing materials will affect whether your roof needs a new roof. Cedar is a commonly used roofing material. It will break and split in dry conditions. You will experience rot on your cedar if you live somewhere humid like Florida. Cedar roofs are typically 20-year-old. Another popular roofing material for tiles is tile. A tile roof can last as long as 100 years. Individual tiles may crack and fall apart. Revildor will replace any broken tiles. Concrete roofing does not need to be replaced unless you experience something unusual.
Accessibility is another factor that influences the cost of a new roof. Accessibility is a key factor in how much a new roof costs. Revildor's team must be able to get onto your roof. A truck must have enough space to back up against your house. Our team would have to transport the materials if there isn’t enough space. This increases labor costs.
Understanding the process and the terminology of the roofing trade will help you make sound decisions when hiring a roofer.
Your roof will take a beating if you live in cold areas with harsh winters filled with snow, ice, and strong winds. A slate tile roof is the best choice for this kind of climate. This roof is made of stone and can withstand harsh winters for up to 100 years.
A moderately-sized, professionally-installed roofing job might take only 3 or 4 days. The roofing crew follows this process:
If you live somewhere with very high temperatures, the wrong kind of roofing material could trap heat and make your home feel warmer. In places like Arizona and Florida, you'll see lots of terracotta rooftops. This type roofing is made by placing curved tile together. This absorbs some of the excess heat and allows airflow between tiles.

Your preference in roofing materials will vary depending on where you live and what your personal tastes are. Some regions prefer metal roofing due to its fire-resistance, while others might prefer Spanish-inspired tile tools. Your roof pitch (angle) can also impact the type of roofing materials you are able to use. Wood shake shingles can be used to cover steeper pitched roofs. However, they are not recommended for flat, low-pitched roofs.
The national average cost of replacing your roof is $8,000. Most homeowners spend between $5,500-$11,000 on average. These are the two biggest variables that you will have to deal with when doing a job like this: the square footage of the home (and consequently your roof) as well as the type and material of the roofing material you choose.
