Roof Replacement: Everything You Need to Know About Costs, Materials, and Process
Among home maintenance tasks roof replacement stands as the most crucial essential repair. A home’s roof serves as its initial shield against external weather conditions, so roof condition determines the structural durability of the entire property. Undergoing either roof replacement or repair requires knowledge of the entire process and total expenses. This guide, created by the Dexteriors Home Remodeling team, presents a detailed explanation of new roof expenses alongside roof replacement methodology alongside strategies for replacing your roof using financing services.
4 Signs You Need A New Roof:
Cupping/Curling
Nails Popping
Missing Shingles
Bad Valleys
Curling or Cupping Shingles:
Positive indications of both weather exposure and roof aging can become visible.
Cracked or Missing Shingles:
These expose your roof to potential leaks.
Granules in Gutters:
When shingle granules disappear from gutters it shows your roof is aging from normal wear.
Light in the Attic:
If sunlight enters the attic, it indicates possible trouble spots affecting your roof.
Roof Age:
Roofs that reach 20–25 years of age typically require a full replacement.
Full vs. Partial Roof Replacement
Partial Roof Replacement
Roof repair and replacement services focus on repairing specific sections of the roofing material without affecting the entire area. The reason for this strategy comes from localized damage to the roof. A partial roof replacement requires lower upfront costs but results in higher expenses per square foot because it includes fixed expenses for debris removal and permits.
Full Roof Replacement
The decision to perform a full roof replacement becomes necessary when widespread damage or significant decay makes the roof unrepairable. The roof replacement process starts with removing all roof materials before an inspection verifies the structural condition followed by complete new roof installation. A higher initial investment in a full roof replacement delivers longer term durability alongside assurance for your home.
Roof Replacement Costs
The cost of a new roof varies depending on several factors:
Roof Size:
The price of roofing solutions increases automatically when you have larger roof areas that need more material amounts and additional effort from contractors.
Roofing Materials:
Premium roofing materials consisting of slate and metal exceed the cost of standard asphalt shingles.
Roof Pitch:
The installation of roofs with higher slopes requires more work thus pushing total costs higher.
Local Roofing Companies:
Each roofing company in each region publishes its own rates thus homeowners need to obtain multiple quotes.
A roof leak repair together with small patch jobs are commonly enough to address ongoing issues. On average:
Roof repair costs: $350–$1,500
Roof replacement costs: $10,000–$18,000
The extent of damage, the roofing material choice along with labor pricing determines the total replacement cost.
Additional Costs to Consider
When budgeting for a roof replacement, it’s crucial to account for additional expenses:
Permit Fees:
These vary by location.
Roof Inspection:
A roof assessment is often necessary before starting any project.
Emergency Services:
Urgent emergency roof repairs will cost additional expenses because of their immediate implementation needs.
Gutters and Flashing:
Different types of components within roofing systems sometimes require replacement or repair work.

The Roof Replacement Process
Replacing a roof typically follows this step-by-step process:
Shingle Removal:
Building professionals remove all existing shingles alongside any compromised elements of flashing.
Structural Repairs:
Sheathing replacement occurs when new materials replace the damaged parts.
Ice Dam Barriers:
Roofing professionals install these barriers specifically in the areas where freezing is more prone due to roof construction and insulation.
Roofing Underlayment:
A single layer of construction material known as synthetic underlayment are installed to provide more protection.
Drip Edging and Flashing:
Drip edges and flashing made from metal serve to redirect water safely.
Shingle Installation:
A roofing professional starts installing new shingles by placing them at the bottom and continuing upward.
Vent and Ridge Installation:
Ridge vents act as an important inclusion for enhancing attic ventilation performance.
Final Cleanup:
The property gets completely cleared from debris before removing every nail and piece of scrap metal from the work site.
Inspection:
The installation must follow building codes, but not all townships follow up on a final inspection. That’s why it’s important to choose a reputable roofing contractor.
Save time and remove the hassle.

Moreover, just the weight of the materials alone requires a capable crew of installers. Due to their specialized knowledge professionals both execute complex projects efficiently and construct roofs that will stand the test of time.
FAQ
Check out these common FAQs to help you understand your roofing needs.
How long does an asphalt roof last?
An asphalt roof typically lasts 15-30 years, depending on the quality of materials, installation, and maintenance. Architectural shingles generally have a longer lifespan than standard 3-tab shingles, with warranties often extending up to 25+ years. Environmental factors, such as severe weather and temperature fluctuations, can also affect its longevity.
Do roofers need a license or certification?
Yes, roofing contractors require licensing in both New Jersey & Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, roofing contractors must register with the Attorney General’s Office and comply with the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act. Dexteriors has certifications from manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed to demonstrate a our expertise in installing specific products.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Replacing a roof typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Larger homes, steep roof pitches, or extensive repairs may extend the timeline. Weather conditions and crew size also play a role in determining the duration of the project.
Can I repair the roof myself?
DIY roof repair is not recommended for safety reasons. Plus, significant issues may not be easily detectable. But, if you decide to repair your roof:
- Locate the damage: Inspect for missing shingles, leaks, or cracks.
- Replace damaged shingles: Remove the broken shingle and install a new one using roofing nails.
- Seal small leaks: Use roofing sealant and aluminum patches to seal small cracks or holes.
- Safety first: Always use proper safety equipment, like a harness, and avoid working on steep roofs.
For major repairs, it’s best to hire a professional to ensure long-term results and safety.
How long will a roof repair last?
Yes, roof repairs can last many a couple of years if done correctly, depending on the type and extent of the repair. Minor fixes like replacing a few shingles or sealing leaks can last 2-7 years, while larger structural repairs may last even longer. Using high-quality materials and hiring a professional ensures durability. Keep in mind, an older roof with multiple repairs may effect Homeowners Insurance.
Can I finance my roof?
Yes, roof financing options are widely available. Dexteriors Home Remodeling has a relationship with HFS Home Loans offer financing plans to help homeowners spread out the cost.
