Average Cost To Tear Off And Replace Roof

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?

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!

Our experience with Roofstar was very professional from the moment someone came out for the quote. They were the only company to get on our roof when they were initially quoting us. We really appreciated how thorough and professional they were. The crew working on our roof was very timely, clean and efficient. The quality of the roof exceeded our expectations. We could not feel happier about how it turned out! We will always refer Roofstar Arizona to friends and family! Our neighbor is actually going to get theirs done now because they saw the quality we received!

Roofstar provides great customer service. I was able to text the office manager and our job supervisor when I had questions and their response indicated concern and a desire to be helpful. The work was done in a timely manner and is high quality. I would definitely recommend to others.

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.

After a monsoon storm ripped off half our asphalt shingles, I got several quotes from Valley roof companies. Roofstar impressed me with their quote, attention to detail, and quality photos showing the job as a whole. I went ahead used Roofstar, who replaced the entire roof while I was out of town and did a great job picking up the trash, sealing the A/C unit, and affixing new drip edges. I had a small issue with the new trim not matching the old color and the owner, Jeff, was kind enough to come back out and paint the trim himself. Would I recommend Roofstar to friends and family? SURE! They stand behind their work.

I just wanted to personally thank both you (Jeff) and Mike for your help on this house. I appreciate that you took the time to schedule the repairs, confirm, and that your workers showed up on time and did a fantastic job! My husband is a general contractor, so we really appreciate it when a company stands by their word and delivers a great product. We will be adding you to our Recommended Vendor List and will put the word out there as much as we can for referrals! Thanks again for your help!

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!

Candace B.

Extremely pleased with our extensive roof repair work. The crew showed up early and we could hear them working on the roof all day for a number of days. The price was extremely fair for the scope of the job. I had other roofing companies give me a bid prior to Roofstar. But once Roofstar came out, inspected our roof and told us what needed to be done, I knew they were who we’d hire. They have integrity and honestly which is refreshing when hiring contractors.

Just met Santiago. Every business should have a representative like him!
