How Much It Costs To Finance Slate Roof

Since roof changing has become popular in the past couple of years, the supply and demand of materials have switched their places. It resulted in increased costs of materials, workers, and the whole project in general. If you want to finance a slate roof and wish to know the approximate cost, we can give you a general idea. Note that the final price depends on the area you live in, slope, pitch, and roof size.

Slate Roof Repair vs. Switching The Roof

Since the roof itself requires over $10,000 to be switched, even significant reparations are worth the money. For example, the average price of roof fixing is around $1,700. Changing small things such as one slate can be as low as $250, but switching more than that can cost up to $5,000.

However, it’s still worth it compared to the entire roof change. The average price of installing a new slate roof is $11,000 to $24,000. Also, you can expect to pay $9-16 per sq. foot or $900-1,600 per square on a standard size roof. A significant impact on the price will have tiles that you choose as well as the area you live in. Usually, when you want to check the price, the first thing you’re asked for is to input your zip code.

Another thing that will increase the price is the contractor’s price. Of course, it all depends on the company you hire, but expect to pay anywhere from $600 to $1,500 per square. If you need to remove the current roof instead of adding new layers, it will have an impact on the price.

All in all, for a 2,000 sq. foot roof, you can expect to pay up to $30,000 with all the unpredicted expenses. However, it’s worth the money since a slate roof life expectancy is over 100 years if kept clean and properly maintained.

Once you pay for a repair or roof replacement, don’t forget to maintain your roof and prevent any more considerable omissions in the future. This will save you further payments.
