Installing a new roof

By Trey Gordon 2 April, 2023 2 mins read

Removing the old roof is an important step in installing a brand new roof. This involves removing all asphalt shingles from roof using a fork. The shingles can be then removed in a dumpster nearby or placed in garbage cans. To avoid any damage to the yard or house, it is important that the homeowner prepares the area.

Cost of a roof replacement

A new roof could add $10,000 to $20,000 on top of the property's current value. Most homeowners insurance will pay for the cost of a new roof. The cost to install a new roof depends on what type of shingle is chosen, how high the roof is pitched, and what materials are removed. 60 percent of total costs for a new roofing project are related to labor. You can also determine the cost of a new roof by choosing which type of roof shingles to use. Basic asphalt shingles may cost $2,000-$4,000 while synthetic slate can run $12,000-$30,000,000.

Costs for a new roofing system vary by contractor. They also include costs of building permits. The cost of labor will vary depending on how large the job is and the complexity of it. The overhead costs that include overhead expenses for businesses can add up to 10% to the total cost.

Coverage for insurance

Installing a new roof requires that your insurance policy covers you. Your policy will determine whether your insurer will pay the full cost or only part of the repair costs. The standard homeowners policy covers roof replacement costs in the event of a natural catastrophe. 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. There may be a deductible that is different for each policy type. If you live or work in a place that experiences frequent storms, it may be worth adding a separate hail/wind deductible.

Installation preparation

There are several steps to take before your new roof is installed. First, make sure your entire house is protected from dust and debris that can fall from the roof during construction. It is also a good idea to move all your cars out of the driveway to prevent them from becoming trapped or scratched by construction debris. Also, protect furniture, bedding, and other belongings from falling off walls or ceilings during construction.

Finally, make sure you secure any items that are stored in the attic or under the roof. Make arrangements for someone to care for your children if you have them during the construction. As the noises and debris may endanger your pets, you should ensure that they are secured.
