If you’re planning to renovate your home, one of the considerations you need to take into account is the quality of your roofing. With most home improvements, there is a straightforward relationship between quality and expense and in this case of roofing, if the quality is good, it is long lasting as well.
In buying your new roof, you also need to consider its cost. You need to be aware that different roof configurations and different materials can make a big difference to your roofing system. In addition, you may also pay for labor costs for installation as well.
Asphalt roll roofing is created with large rolls of the same material used in asphalt shingles. The average lifespan of this is from 5 to 10 years. If you are wondering about its installation costs and lifetime value, normally, it would cost you $2.25 per square foot or a total of $4,500.
There is also another option which is built-up roofing which is a layered roof that is created by alternating layers of roofing and other materials such as bitumen and fiberglass. Average lifespan is from 20 to 30 years. Installation costs and lifetime value is at $4 per square foot with a total of $8,000.
