YOU'RE SURE YOUR ROOF NEEDS REPAIRS... WHAT'S NEXT?
If the roof of your house has flaws and damages, has had a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, your shingles are cracked and worn out, you have noticed an increase in your electricity bill, or if the repairs you decided to do in the past did not work as you would have liked, it is time to repair it or install a new one.
Deciding to initiate repair projects to ensure the integrity of your property, specifically a critical area such as your roof, can raise questions about how much money you need to invest, what materials you would like to use, and what steps you need to take to ensure that your investment will become a project that meets your needs and gives you peace of mind.
At Sustainable Living Builders, we want to inform you about some points to consider.
FINDING OUT HOW MUCH YOUR ROOF WILL COST
- Know the size of your roof
One of the first things to keep in mind is that your investment will be directly proportional to the size of your roof. Let’s take the example of an average house whose roof covers an area of 2,000 square feet.
At SLB, the price of roofing services per square footage ranges from $6.80 to $7.80, which means that the price for an average property is between $13,600 to 15,600, depending on the type of material you choose.
- Consider your roof specifications
The cost of roofing services also depends on factors such as slope, local building codes, and the accessibility that construction crews have to work with. Prices can vary depending on whether you have a flat or sloped roof, the location of your home, as well as the access the construction crew has to the areas affected by wear and tear.
At SLB, we have the equipment necessary to repair or replace your roof. We are an environmentally conscious company, and we are aware of the requirements to undertake construction projects in the state of California, specifically in Contra Costa, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin Counties.
- Compare between available materials
When choosing the type of materials you would like to use for your roof, consider aspects such as cost, durability, functionality, and the type of design you like best to protect and highlight your facade. You might be interested in acquiring shingles with an appealing design for a more architectural touch or maybe ones that have solar reflecting properties to reduce heat absorption, ones that generate electricity or just simply want to make sure they are made from recycled materials.
As far as options materials are concerned, SLB offers you a variety of the highest-quality materials. Our suppliers (GAF, Malarkey Roofing Products, CertainTeed, and Tesla) offer options that guarantee weather resistance, quality workmanship, and energy savings.
- Keep in mind that labor is indispensable
When undertaking roof repair or installation projects, keep in mind that labor costs are also an investment. It is important that, when choosing your contractor, they have the necessary certifications to carry out the project in the area where your property is located. Make sure you receive advice from trained personnel to analyze and evaluate the best course of action that fits your needs and your budget.
At SLB, we have over ten years of experience in the construction business. Our construction crews consist of trained professionals who know how to work through tough situations to make sure your property is well taken care of.

- Look for a one-stop shop
Keep an eye out for professionals who can offer you a transparent estimate of your investment in the complete project. Assessing the state of a roof could also lead to finding that other repairs are necessary in your residence such as installing skylights, fixing broken gutters and so on. Hiring different companies for each task could be a daunting idea. Look for a company that is able to offer you multiple services if need be.
