2 years ago

If you’re looking into getting a new roof, you’re likely wondering about the price – is it affordable, or expensive? Is it worth the money? What’s the average cost to tear off and replace a roof? And how do you know when you need to tear off your existing roof and replace it with a brand new one? We hope this blog answers all the questions you have.

How Do I Know When to Replace My Roof?

It’s not always obvious when your roof needs to be replaced. However, there are a few things you should look for when thinking about whether or not your roof should be replaced:

Your Roof’s Age: If your asphalt shingle roof is 20 years old or older, it likely needs to be replaced soon. Shingle roofs have an average lifespan of 15-25 years in the Phoenix Metro area, depending on materials, installation quality, and level of maintenance performed. If you have a concrete or clay tile roof 20-30 years old you should be budgeting for replacement.
Heavily Damaged or Worn Down Shingles: If you notice that your shingles are losing their granules, that is a sign that they’re reaching the end of their life – and that can mean that you need to tear down the roof and replace it with a new one. It’s also possible that you’ll need a new roof if a storm or an impact causes heavy damage.
Sagging Roof: If your roof is sagging, it could be a sign of rot – in which case getting a new roof may be your best, or only, option. Sagging can also be related to a damaged or broken truss or rafter, or even termites!. A sagging roof is a serious sign which should be looked at immediately.
You have had two or more roof leaks, or the eaves of your home show water damage or rot. Take five minutes to walk around your home and look at the overhangs.
Your Neighbors Are Getting New Roofs: If several of your neighbors are getting new roofs, roof replacement better be on your radar.. Since the houses in your neighborhood were likely built around the same time, they may need to be repaired or replaced around the same time as well. If you notice your neighbors getting new roofs, call for an inspection.

What Is a Roof Replacement?

A roof replacement is when a roof covering is removed, the substrate underneath is repaired, and a new roof covering is installed.

Before a roof replacement is performed, your roofing team will place tarps and possibly plywood in order to protect your property from any potential debris. After this, the old roof covering that needs to be replaced will be removed, and the decking of your roof will be inspected and any potential damage either repaired or replaced. Then the roof replacement process begins.

Average Cost to Tear Off and Replace Roof

The average price of a roof replacement includes both the cost to tear off the roof covering and replace it. The total cost will depend on multiple different factors, including the materials used for the roof covering and the shape and steepness of your roof.

Generally, the average cost to tear off and replace a roof in Arizona is between $7500 and $15,000. However, you should be prepared for potential circumstances that could raise the price. Remember: getting your roof replaced is worth every penny. The roof is an integral part of your home’s safety and protects you and your family.

What To Do If You Can’t Afford a New Roof?

It’s rough to be in a situation where you need a roof replacement but just don’t have the money necessary to pay for it. But don’t worry – there are solutions that will make sure you get your new roof without going broke.

First, talk to your homeowners’ insurance company to see how much of the expense they will cover. It goes a long way to have a professional inspection report to give them.

I have had several neighbors ask about your company and have given favorable recommendations to this point. Your team was very professional and I think to this point did a great job!

Roofstar provided professional inspection and detail quotes on the repairs needed to be done for our properties. We collected a few quotes from different roofing companies for comparison. Roofstar repair cost was very competitive and reasonable. We ultimately chose to go with Roofstar because we felt confident that they would take care of the problems. They came back to correct the minor issue that we had and finished the job to our satisfaction without further questions. We would highly recommend Roofstar to our families and friends.

Jeff found problems we knew were wrong with our roof that other Roofers who inspected & gave proposals missed. He was very straight forward, honest & always making sure our questions were answered. He & his crew showed us materials being used & explained everything! He got on the roof during the work to make sure things were going right. His crew are outstanding, respectful, honest and very clean. Couldn’t be more satisfied!! He came highly recommended & we can see why! Thank you Jeff, Juan and Crew for all your hard work. They care & take pride in their work & customers!

I have been so impressed with Roofstar! First let me say I was amazed with Mathew. From the first time he came to our house. Mathew was running about 5-10 minutes late. Mathew called and let me know he was close but would be a few minutes late. He was less than 5 minutes late. What a nice touch! Looking at his age as he appeared young, I wondered how much can he know about roofing? When Mathew came off the roof and explained every picture he took I was impressed. It was obvious he knew how to inspect a roof.

Mathew’s follow up was exactly what he said it would be. This day and age that type of service is hard to find!

On the 2 occasions that I spoke to your staff on the telephone I hung up thinking these employees must love their boss, because they cared so much for his customers.

I don’t make a habit out of sending this type of email, because we just expect good service. Your employees went above and beyond good service.

I look forward to refer friends and family in the future, hoping I never need your service again, but I know where I will call if I need my roof fixed.

Love that they didn’t try and sell you a roof and repaired. Thanks for helping us get by to save up for complete repair. Work was done timely. I loved they had women roofers!

We had work done last week, they were thorough, reasonably priced, on time, cleaned up after themselves, and provide before and after photos. They also have an inspector check the work after, they do not try to sell you things you do not need. I appreciate their honesty.
