What Affects the Cost of a New Roof?
E2 Home Solutions prioritizes sticking to your budget. Home improvement projects are major financial endeavors, and new roofing installations and replacements are certainly no different. So, from the very beginning of your project, we want you to know exactly what it’ll cost you. To get the best idea of what you’re in for, contact us for a free estimate today!
Roof Size
The cost of your new roof installation or replacement is based on the number of roofing squares. Roofing squares are a unit of measurement E2 Home Solutions and other roofing contractors use, with one roofing square equaling 100 square feet of roof surface.
A larger roof requires more roofing materials and, of course, labor. You can safely assume the larger your roof is, the more your installation or replacement is going to cost. However, roof size isn’t always the same as the square footage of your home’s living space. Roof pitch, overhangs, attached garages, additions, and other design features can increase the actual amount of roofing surface.
Estimated impact on roofing cost:
| Roof Size | Approximate Roofing Area | General Asphalt Roofing Estimate* |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 1,000–1,500 sq. ft. | $5,000–$15,000 |
| Medium | 1,500–2,000 sq. ft. | $7,500–$20,000 |
| Large | 2,000–3,000 sq. ft. | $10,000–$30,000 |
| Very Large | 3,000+ sq. ft. | $15,000–$35,000+ |
*These ranges are general planning estimates. Your actual roof replacement cost depends on a lot of factors. After contacting us and getting your free estimate, we can schedule an appointment to assess your home and give you a breakdown of your specific situation.
Removing the Existing Roof
If you’re replacing an existing roof, we may need to remove the old shingles and other roofing materials before the installation. This step in the process is known as the tear-off. It adds time, but it’s important so that your new roof has a stable foundation.
The number of existing roofing layers, the type of material being removed, accessibility around the home, and disposal costs can all affect the price. A roof with multiple layers may require more labor and disposal than a roof with a single layer of shingles. Removing the existing roofing also gives the installer an opportunity to inspect the roof decking underneath. Any damaged areas that need to be replaced can add to the total cost of the project.
We estimate the average tear-off and disposal cost to be approximately $1–$3+ per sq. ft. For example, removing an existing roof from a 2,000-square-foot roofing area could add roughly $2,000–$6,000+ to the project, depending on the number of layers and site conditions.
Roof Pitch
The pitch, aka steepness, of your roof also affects the cost of installation or replacement. If your roof doesn’t have much of a slope, that usually makes things easier and thus cheaper. If you have a roof that’s quite steep, that’ll require some additional safety measures and therefore labor, bringing the cost up. It’s a good rule of thumb that if your roof has more to it, it’ll cost you more.
How Roof Pitch Affects Roofing Cost
| Roof Pitch | Typical Cost Impact | How It Affects Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Low to moderate slope | Lower | Easier access and less complex installation |
| Moderate to steep slope | Moderate increase | Requires more time, labor, and safety precautions |
| Very steep roof | Higher | Increased fall protection, specialized equipment, and labor requirements |
A steep roof doesn’t necessarily mean your project will cost dramatically more, but it can increase labor and installation time. Roof pitch is evaluated along with the size, layout, accessibility, and overall complexity of the roof.
Current Roof Condition
The time it takes to complete your installation depends a lot on your current roof situation. If your roof mainly has superficial damage to the outer layer with a stable structure underneath, you’ll have a less intensive installation. A tear-off is necessary when the underlying structure is also worn out and unstable.
Once your existing roof is good and gone and the actual installation begins, we can get a better look at the decking, which is the foundation for your shingles. We’ll identify any moisture damage, rot, or other types of damage. Anything we find will be addressed before your installation to make your new roof last.
Other issues that can increase the cost of a roofing project include:
- Damaged flashing
- Poor or outdated ventilation
- Ice-related damage
- Structural concerns
- Previous improper roofing installation
Potential additional repair costs: approximately $500–$5,000+, depending on the extent of the damage.
Not every roof will require these repairs. The only way to determine the condition of the decking and other underlying components is through an inspection and, when appropriate, examination after the existing roofing has been removed.
How Materials Change the Price
You might be surprised at how much roofing materials can change the price of your new roof installation. A few dollars per square foot can drastically affect what you’ll be paying at the end. E2 Home Solutions values transparency, so we’ll let you know how much you can expect your installation will cost, beginning with the materials you go with. E2 Home Solutions proudly installs TAMKO asphalt shingles. These shingles are high performance while still being one of the most affordable roofing material options. If you decide to go with a more premium material like metal or slate, expect the cost to reflect that.
Roofing Material Cost Comparison
| Roofing Material | Estimated Installed Cost* | 2,000 Sq. Ft. Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingles | $5–$10/sq. ft. | $10,000–$20,000 |
| Metal Roofing | $10–$20+/sq. ft. | $20,000–$40,000+ |
| Cedar / Wood | $8–$15+/sq. ft. | $16,000–$30,000+ |
| Composite / Synthetic | $10–$18+/sq. ft. | $20,000–$36,000+ |
| Slate / Tile | $15–$30+/sq. ft. | $30,000–$60,000+ |

Unique Cost Factors That Affect Wisconsin Homes
E2 Home Solutions is well aware of the challenges you face as a homeowner in southeastern Wisconsin. Your roof plays a huge role in keeping the harsh weather at bay, but it takes a toll. Your roof will deteriorate no matter what after years of exposure. Given the years of damage your roof has faced, possibly decades, there’s a good chance the damage is more than just surface level. There may be structural damage that will add time to your installation and therefore increase the cost, but it is absolutely necessary to keep your home comfortable and secure.
When buying a home in Wisconsin, that usually means a lot of modernizing, and your roof will probably be one of your first major projects. We take pride in our historic homes in Wisconsin, but that doesn’t mean essential features like our roofs have to be historic. In addition to weather affecting your roof, the previous installation from many years ago may have used materials that don’t perform up to modern standards. The age of the home doesn’t automatically make a roof replacement more expensive, but older construction can increase the likelihood of additional work once the existing roofing is removed.
In any case, your roof is essential to keeping your home safe from the elements, of which Wisconsin has many to throw at you. E2 Home Solutions takes pride in installing robust roofs that last for decades and satisfy the needs of southeastern Wisconsin homeowners.
