Roof Replacement FAQs
When does a roof need full replacement instead of repair?
Replace when the roof is past 80% of its service life (20+ years for asphalt), shows widespread granule loss, multiple leak sources, sagging decking, or repair quotes exceed 30–40% of replacement cost.
How much does roof replacement cost?
Architectural asphalt: $4.50–$7.50 per sq ft installed ($9,000–$15,000 on a 2,000 sq ft roof). Standing-seam metal: $11–$18 per sq ft. Concrete tile: $10–$16 per sq ft. Premium synthetic slate: $14–$22 per sq ft. All-in including tear-off and disposal.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Average 2,000–2,500 sq ft asphalt re-roof: 1–2 days for a 5-person crew. Metal standing-seam: 3–5 days. Tile and slate: 5–10 days. Weather, decking repairs, and chimney reflashing extend the timeline.
Tear-off vs. overlay — which is right?
Always full tear-off. Overlays (second layer over existing shingles) trap heat, hide rotten decking, void most manufacturer warranties, and add weight your trusses may not be rated for. Tear-off costs 10–15% more and pays back many times over.
What warranty should I expect on a roof replacement?
Manufacturer material: 25–50 years (lifetime limited on premium architectural). Workmanship from the installing contractor: 5–25 years. Premium installer-certified systems (GAF Golden Pledge, Owens Corning Platinum, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster) bundle both into a 25–50 year transferable warranty.
