The Roofing Solutions Guide To Shingle Roofing Cost
Types of Asphalt Shingles
1. 3-Tab Shingles: The most economical option, 3-tab shingles are thinner and less expensive than other types. They typically have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. The cost for 3-tab shingles is usually around $0.90 to $2.00 per square foot for materials alone.
2. Dimensional (Architectural) Shingles: These are thicker and more durable than 3-tab shingles, with a more varied, dimensional appearance. Dimensional shingles can last 30 to 50 years and cost between $3.00 and $5.00 per square foot for materials.
3. Luxury Shingles: The highest quality of asphalt shingles, luxury shingles are designed to mimic the appearance of natural slate or cedar shake roofing. They offer superior durability and aesthetic appeal, with a lifespan of 50 years or more. Material costs for luxury shingles can range from $4.00 to $6.00 per square foot.
Cost Breakdown
1. Material Costs: As mentioned, asphalt shingle material costs can range from about $0.90 to $6.00 per square foot, depending on the type and quality of the shingle.
2. Labor Costs: Installation labor costs can vary widely by region but typically range from $1.50 to $5.50 per square foot. This price includes the removal of the old roofing (if necessary), installation of the new shingles, and cleanup.
3. Additional Costs: Additional elements that may affect the total cost include the installation of underlayment, ridge cap shingles, and ventilation systems, as well as repairs to the decking or structure of the roof if needed. The complexity of the roof design (e.g., multiple peaks, valleys, or dormers) can also increase labor costs.
Total Project Cost
Combining materials and labor, the total cost to install an asphalt shingle roof on a standard American home (ranging from 2,000 to 2,200 square feet) can vary from $7,000 to $20,000 or more, with an average of around $8,000 to $12,000. This variance is due to the type of shingles selected and the complexity of the installation.
Considerations
1. Warranty: Pay attention to the warranty offered with asphalt shingles, as this can indicate their expected lifespan and durability.
2. Energy Efficiency: Some asphalt shingles are designed to be energy efficient, reflecting more sunlight and reducing cooling costs. These may cost more upfront but can save money in the long run.
3. Geographic Location: The cost of materials and labor can vary significantly depending on where you live. Areas with a higher cost of living or those more prone to severe weather may see higher roofing costs.
