Roof Replacement Cost Guide

One of the more costly items to repair or replace in your home is your roof. No matter what type of system you have on your home, anytime you encounter problems, such as leaks, damage, or normal degradation, a roof repair can be expensive. If your roof is past its prime or suffered irreparable damage, you could be looking at roof replacement, a major financial undertaking.

The primary job of any roof is to protect the structure and contents inside. Your roof takes plenty of abuse over its lifetime, no matter if it is asphalt, slate, shake, or metal. Standing up to the extreme seasonal changes in the eastern US can put stress on your roofing system, causing damage. A small leak, or missing shingle, can turn into a big job. Waiting won’t repair your roof and could end up costing you much more in the end.

Making an Informed Decision

It’s not always necessary to get a new roof. You may be able to opt for replacement of the surface materials, such as missing shingles, or flashing. However, in some older homes, there could be multiple layers of asphalt shingles, signaling prior issues with leaks and damage. In that instance, a new roof would be your best option.

The professionals at Dominion Roofing Co. have experience in all types of roof repair and replacement. We’ll keep you informed throughout our inspection, and advise you of the work we feel, in our professional opinion, you need. We’ll discuss available options, answer any questions you may have, and give you time to make an informed decision.

Repair or Replace

Before contacting Dominion Roofing Co. to discuss repairing or replacing your roof, there are a few points you’ll need to consider. The appearance of your roof is indicative of the degree of damage. Should you notice several missing or broken shingles, ceiling stains or visible signs of water damage, you may want to replace your roof entirely.

Depending on the age of your roofing system, repairing it may only put off the inevitable. Why invest in repairs for a roof that’s over 20 years old? Put that money toward a sturdy and reliable new roof instead. If you’re just maintaining your roof, and the maintenance and repair calls are more frequent, then a new roof is in order.

Choosing the Right Roofing Material

Your next course of action is to determine the type of material for your new roofing system. Of course, there are several types of systems and several price points. Low-cost asphalt is common and lasts about 20 years. Wood shingles, typically made of cedar, are very sturdy, lasting up to 40 years. Clay or cement tile is quite heavy, and slightly more expensive, as your roof may need to be reinforced to accommodate the weight. They last more than 20 years.

Slate tile roofing material is pretty much indestructible. It can be expensive, however, you probably won’t ever need to replace a slate roof. They have a lifespan of well over 30 years. Durable metal roofing is affordable, but not very practical for residential use.

Roof was leaking last year and needed somebody to handle the repairs immediately. Called Dominion Roofing and I’m glad I did. They got the job done and haven’t had any problems with the roof ever since.

These guys do great work, always prompt, good value and great results. I had a minor roof emergency last year and the Dominion team was here ASAP and fixed the leak before the inside sustained any real damage. Would definitely recommend.

Bill came to my home to inspect the water damage in a bedroom closet and quickly figured out the issue was with the shingles on the roof. He was able to make the necessary repairs at the moment and we have not had anymore issues with the roof. I highly recommend Dominion Roofing for the professional way they do business.

Over the last couple years we had shingles blown off and repaired by other companies. Well after the last wind storm i decided to just get the whole roof replaced since the shingles the builder put on our house were not rated for the MD weather, they were rated for FL weather. Dominion Roofing came out and did the estimate, wearing a mask and other safety stuff. In a couple weeks we had a new roof being put on and it looks great! The team did a great job and was very professional and friendly. I was surprised how they combed our whole yard with the magnet rake to make sure they got all the nails up! I highly recommend their service to anyone!

I got easily a dozen quotes over the last three years before finally pulling the trigger with Bill Fowler, who was the least pushy of any of the companies I talked to. Straightforward answers with no upselling and always very responsive to my many questions.
