Asphalt Roof Replacement Cost

When it comes to replacing your asphalt roof, there are a few different factors that contribute to the overall cost for replacement.

First, your asphalt roof’s size is the largest factor in determining cost. Another big factor is the actual pitch of the roof – your roof’s pitch is its slope, in relation to the ground. For instance, if your roof is higher or more difficult to access than others, you can expect the cost of your replacement to increase. Finally, the roofing materials being used are a huge factor in how much your new roof will cost.

Best Asphalt Roof Shingles

Asphalt shingles are an excellent choice for your roofing system – they’re versatile, affordable, and relatively easy to install.

There are two main types of asphalt shingles that most homeowners opt for: fiberglass shingles, and organic shingles. These are, by far, the most popular choice when it comes to asphalt roof shingles.

Fiberglass shingles consist of fiberglass mats; these mats are remarkably cheap and easy to manufacture, while maintaining the same level of durability and sturdiness as other types of shingles. Organic shingles are composed of wood, paper, and other recycled materials – these, too, are solid in structure and very durable.
