The cost of a new roof in Halifax

So how much does a new roof cost to shingle? How much does a re-roof cost? Two fairly simple questions both with very complicated answers. Like most things in life, it depends.

The biggest cost factors for Halifax roofing companies includes: size, pitch, location and how complex the job is.

Size: Obviously there is a direct correlation between the material price of a job and the square footage. A complete roofing system has all the best roofing material including, architectural shingles, high quality roofing underlayments, new metal drip edge and proper roof ventilation. A homeowner can expect to pay $120 – $140 per square (10 x 10ft) for the best roofing materials.

Pitch: A roof you can walk on is a much different job than one you need staging, planks and toe holds. Much of the additional cost is for the set-up time of the job. Experience definitely helps when dealing with these jobs. Some roofing contractors charge per day on larger jobs and some charge by the height of the building.

Complexity: When dealing with heights, experience helps, but when dealing with complex roofing designs, experience is a must. All too easy is it for an inexperienced roofer to think they can do any roof and quickly find themselves in trouble. Depending on how complex the roof is, from two straight sides to 10 rounded dormers and a turret, the price will dramatically change.
