Waukesha Roofing Tip of the Month: 5 Ways to Save Money on Your Roof Replacement

While a roof replacement may be a necessary expense every decade or so, it may not be one that you truly can afford. Many roof replacement jobs can cost $10,000 or more, depending upon the kind of materials used, the size of your roof, and the location where you live. That can be a serious problem for many who simply don't have that kind of money.

Finding some cost-effective ways to save yourself money during a roof replacement is important, especially if you are on a budget, and here are five ways that you can do just that.



Know What You Are Getting Into

Where you want to begin is by figuring out exactly what is going to be needed to replace your roof. This includes examining the square footage of your roof, talking to contractors about materials or labor costs, learning about the different pricing involved in replacing a roof. Understand that the three biggest costs related to roof replacement are the materials, the labor, and the disposal. Knowing exactly what the costs are involved for each of these will help you to make decisions later on.

Shop Around

Never choose the first company you find on the web or in the phone book. If you have a general idea of what kind of costs are involved in replacing a roof, it makes it a lot easier for you to be able to talk to contractors in the area. You may find that some will offer you a much better rate while still doing the same quality job. Then there are those who may be willing to reduce their costs if they know that someone else is under bidding them. Shopping around will let you know these kind of things.

Find the Right Time

Most contractors are busiest during the late summer time up until the end of fall. They have either had to do a lot of work because there has been storm damaged during the summer or customers one a new roof before winter hits. What that tells you is that they are a lot more available and probably a lot cheaper just as winter is ending leading into spring. You can save yourself a lot of money during these times, especially if you can have the job done in the winter.

Will Insurance Pay?

If there is damage caused to your roof by hailstorm or some other kind of calamity, understand that your insurance company is on the hook to pay the majority of that cost. If there has been a recent storm it is to your advantage to contact your insurance company right away to have an adjuster come and look. This can save you a huge amount of money.

Do Some of the Work

If you can do some of the work yourself, this can save you money. If you are a handy person who understands how to remove the current roof, this will save you a lot as you aren't paying a professional to do the job for you. Just be sure that you understand exactly what is involved before you take on this task.

These are five things that can quickly save you a lot of money. This may help you to be able to fit that new roof into your budget.
