What’s the Average Cost of a New Roof?

Time for a new roof?

Whether your aesthetic calls for shingles or metal, the cost range for a new roof is not quite a straightforward number that can apply to all homes.

Our top 3 questions about roofing include the cost.

When it’s time for a new roof for your home, the first few questions are typically:

  • What do I need?
  • How much is it going to cost?
  • When can you get started?

All contractors can give you answers.

Roofing estimates vary from contractor to contractor. Always ask what is included in the estimate and expect to see out how the contractor arrived at that number. Find out if the installation is certified to activate the roof’s warranty. On-site estimates determine the scope of the project, and give you a chance to ask about the installation process, warranties, and guarantees of work.

Here’s how we figure the cost of your new roof.

Our on-site estimator follows the “Rule of 4P’s.”

  1. Problems – What is your specific roofing situation?
  2. Products – What is needed to provide the right roofing solution?
  3. People – Who are the right people to install or repair your roof?
  4. Price is then determined based on the first 3 questions.

We price jobs to include options to fit different budgets and styles. Your new roof cost is calculated specifically for your home’s needs and a proper installation.

Expect itemized estimates for greater choices to meet your roofing needs.

Our estimate takes your budget into consideration. Materials, products, styles, and colors each add an element to the overall curb appeal your roof provides. You have choices with Valley Roofing & Exteriors, and we offer payment options to give you greater flexibility. Our roofing estimates help you find the perfect fit.

Roof Installation – We Take the Steps that Make a Huge Difference!

Consider this: Roofing products fail less than 1% of the time.

Of all roofing problems, 0.7% are the result of a failed product. Every other time the failure is because the products haven’t been installed correctly. You want roof installers who are trained and certified, so every product is put on properly the way the manufacturer specifies.

Our “Rule of 4P’s” includes “People” as a key component of how we estimate your job.

  1. Problems – What is your specific issue?
  2. Products – What is needed to provide the right solution?
  3. People – Who are the right people to do the job?
  4. Price is then determined based on the first 3 questions.

Do you have the right people putting the products on your roof? Check our credentials and expect to see proof of insurance from your roofer.

Roof Leak in Waynesboro

Don’t forget to periodically check the ceilings in your bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms for roof leaks.  These are common areas where vent pipes  protrude through the roof and they often look like this as most “roofers” don’t use good quality pipe flanges.  If you notice spots on your ceiling and suspect that its a roof leak, don’t hesitate to call us! It could save you hundreds in drywall and paint.

New Chimney Flashing On A Harrisonburg Roof

  A proper flashing on a brick chimney prevents damage to the interior of the home, and ensures the long term functionality of the chimney.

A brick chimney adds value and functionality to a home, but without the proper roof to chimney flashing, it can cause a lot of problems. At Valley Roofing & Exteriors, we recommend a 2-piece flashing that allows seasonal movement between the house and chimney to occur without causing any problems. The 2 pieces consist of a step flashing that is integrated with the shingles, and a counter flashing that covers the step flashing, and is fastened only to the chimney. This allows seasonal movement to occur without stressing the fasteners as can happen in a one piece system. We also prefer a straight counter flashing over a stepped counter flashing as it completely seals the flashing, and limits the number of pieces that are necessary to be installed.

Here is an example of a chimney flashing in Harrisonburg that had failed, and had caused the plywood around the chimney to fail.
