The cost to replace a roof averages around $9,200, and most people pay between $6,000 and $15,000. The size of your roof plays a major role in the total cost, but the most significant factor is whether you need new shingles placed over your old roof or a full replacement. The former is possible until you have three layers of roofing on your home, and it’s more affordable. A full replacement involves ripping off old layers of shingles, sometimes repairing the sheathing, and then laying down a new roof, which is the most expensive project.
Many states require roofers to be licensed, and some states don’t mandate licensing. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check if a roofing company holds the proper licensing for your area. A licensed roofing contractor will provide reliable roof installation service, leading to a reduced risk of leaks in the future, which can be expensive to repair. Paying more for a licensed roofer upfront often means paying less over time.
Hiring a reliable roofing contractor requires finding a company in your area with years of experience, holds the necessary licensing, and has a history of positive customer reviews and services. Start by researching whether a roofer you’re considering hiring holds the necessary certifications. Consider requesting customer references from your top contenders. Finally, get quotes from a few roofing companies and decide which provides the best value overall.
Here are a few examples of questions to ask a roofer before hiring them:
Do you have a license for roof replacement and repair?
Do you hold any special certifications?
Will you be completing all of the work or subcontracting portions of it?
How long will the replacement take?
Are you removing my old roof or placing new shingles on top?
Do you provide a warranty for the work or the materials?
What recourse do I have if I run into leaks or other issues?
Do you have customer references I could call?

If roofing work needs to be done, use these tips to closely monitor the cost and avoid going over budget:
1. Understand your nearby roofing services
Roofers carry out a wide variety of services, from repairing shingles to fully installing new roofs. Most roofers will charge according to the scope of work that needs to be done, as well as the type of roof, not by hour. Some common roof repairs include shingle replacement, repairing damaged nails and metal sheets, or flashing repairs (repairing a damaged waterproof barrier). At some point, replacing the entire roof will be necessary.
