Roof restoration is an important part of maintaining the integrity of your roof as it gets older. Regular maintenance and repair can significantly increase the life expectancy of your roof and cost you less over the years than if you are forced to perform a roof replacement due to heavy water damage or a collapsed section of the structure.
Generally, roof restoration starts with an inspection, a cleaning to remove roof debris and corrosion, minor repairs of the important roof sections like the ridges and gables, and finally, a repaint of the roof to give it that brand-new look.
How much does it cost for a roof restoration?
It is difficult to put a precise cost on roof restoration because each project is so different. Many different factors can affect the price of a roof restoration, which is why a professional inspection and quote is required for each individual case. In saying that however, there are some common factors that can affect how affordable it is to perform a roof restoration project.
Factors that vary the price & full cost of roof restoration
There are multiple factors that will impact the cost of a roof restoration.
1. The type of roof
Your roof type is one of the most important factors determining a roof restoration’s cost. Roofs come in many different materials, including pitch, metal, shingles, and tiles. The type and quality of these materials can significantly impact the price of a roof restoration due to the varying cost of the materials and the different labour requirements for installation and repair.
2. The size of the roof
Perhaps the most important factor in your roof repair is how large your roof is. A larger roof means more time, materials, and labour to complete the job.
3. The degree to which the roof is inclined
The pitch and slope of the roof are factors that people often overlook when considering the price of roof restoration. Roofs can vary from flat to severely sloped. If the roof is heavily sloped, it may not be walkable and thus will require extra safety equipment and time to perform the restoration.
4. The condition of your roof
Another important consideration is just how poor the condition of your roof is. If it is in fairly good condition, the restoration can be finished in no time; however, if it requires heavy repair, then the price can be significantly augmented.
5. If the roof has sustained water damage
Water damage can be a little more serious than superficial damage to the outside of the roof and may require heavy repair. If it is not performed in time, it might also mean that a full roof replacement will be required, which can be significantly more expensive than roof restoration.
6. Unique accessories and roof elements
Everyone loves a good chimney or skylight; however, repair and maintenance around these elements can complicate roof repair, which can affect the price of the restoration as a whole.
