Introduction
The cost of installing a new roof can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the roof, the materials used, and the complexity of the installation. In Ohio, these factors come together to influence the average price you can expect to pay for a new roof.
Factors Influencing Roof Cost
- Size of the Roof: The larger the roof, the more materials and labor are required, increasing the overall cost.
- Materials: Different roofing materials come with different price tags. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing material, are generally the least expensive, while materials like metal, tile, and slate can be significantly more costly.
- Complexity of Installation: Roofs with steep pitches, multiple levels, or numerous features (like chimneys, skylights, and vents) require more labor and time to install, which can increase the cost.
- Labor Costs: Labor costs can vary depending on the roofing contractor and the specific requirements of the job.
