The Price Of An Average Roof
By Stacy MelleteThe price of a roofing installation in Clearwater depends on the type of roof that will be installed and how much of it will be installed. Some of the most common materials used to make roofing are asphalt shingles, steel, aluminum and even copper.
Cost:
Asphalt shingle roofing can cost anywhere between $1 and $4 per square foot (sq. ft.).
Metal roofing is much more expensive than asphalt shingles.
Steel roofing runs between $3 and $10 per sq. ft.,
aluminum roofing runs between $7 and $15 per sq. ft. and
copper roofing can cost upwards of $18 per sq. ft.
These prices reflect the cost of materials and labor.
Removal:
Removing and disposing of an existing roof can have a huge influence on the cost of having a new roof installed. Removal and disposal of a residential roof can cost up to $5 per sq. ft.
Additional Costs:
Having to install a roof around skylights or other architectural features can drive up the price. Consumers may also be charged extra to install a steep roof. A complex roofing project can add up to $3 extra per sq. ft.
