Signs That Your Roof Needs Replacement
Check for nine telltale signs that your roof needs replacement.
- Fine sparkly gravel in your gutters
- Leakage in attic after wind driven rain
- Leakage in attic after ice build-up
- Blistering and/or peeling of interior and/or exterior paint
- Stains on interior ceilings and walls, or mold and mildew growth
- Decay of roof shingles, sheathing, and/or siding
- Missing, cracked or curled shingles
- Dark, “dirty-looking” areas on your roof
- Excessive energy cost – winter and summer
If you experience three or more of these symptoms, it is time to consider replacement and installation costs from a reliable roofing contractor. We would be happy to provide a free estimate, and warrant our work.
Roof Replacement Average Cost Per Square Foot
According to independent sources, the average cost per square foot for a roof replacement in Central, NJ ranges from a low of $5 to a high of $10. The number will vary by the materials you choose to work with, the pitch of your roof, accessibility factors, and installed options.
Roofing Materials
Job Construction is a certified roofing installation contractor for three leading single suppliers, CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning. We can help you choose the ideal solution for your needs and budget. These are the average cost per square foot for the five most common roofing materials.
- Asphalt shingles – $5 and $7
- Wood shingles – $4 to $13
- Slate Shingles – $25 to $60
- Tile shingles – $7 to $10
- Metal shingles – $3 to $15
Pitch of Roof
The pitch of your roof will also affect your average cost per square foot to complete a tear down and installation. We measure the pitch by dividing the rise by the length. Very steep roofs require special harnesses to keep our workers safe, and make stacking of materials more difficult. Therefore, labor costs are much higher for steeper roofs.
Accessibility to Home
The accessibility of the home or building also affects the average cost per square foot to replace a roof. If we can back a truck up your driveway, this makes it far easier to haul away debris, and transport new materials.
Installed Options
Every home or commercial building may have different installed options, which affect the average cost per square foot of a roofing replacement project. Homes may have chimneys, skylights, satellite dishes, exhaust fans, or solar panels installed. Working with these modifications requires more time and greater precision.
