Imagine, if you have a 2,000 square foot ranch house, and you agree to put on a flat roof that ends exactly at the edges of the building, then we know you’ll have a 2,000 square foot roof.
THE PITCH OF THE ROOF
But as we know, roofs are pitched to protect us from the elements. The higher the pitch, the more shingles will be used. That also increases the labor needed to install those shingles.
THE STYLE OF THE ROOF
Another factor that can impact the price is the style of roof. A simple “gable roof” will use less hip & ridge shingles than a “hip roof”. The hips are the part of the roof that run upward at an angle, but not parallel to the ground. The part that runs parallel to the ground is the ridge.
The more complicated the roof gets the more the “waste factor”, or amount of extra materials needed, goes up. As they’re installing around hips and valleys, the shingles will need to be overlapped or cut, creating waste.
THE MATERIALS USED IN THE PROJECT
Finally, the materials used on your roof replacement will also impact the cost. There are many different shingle manufacturers, and all of them offer different levels of quality. Most offer everything from a 3-tab shingle, all the way up to a Class 4 Nordic style shingle. A 3-tab shingle is what you’ll see on a lot of builder grade homes. It is a flat shingle with no definition. These offer the least protection to hail and wind, and are also have the least visual appeal. The next step up is an architectural shingle. These will be a little heavier than a 3-tab shingle, and offer pleasing to the eye definition. Beyond that, you have a Class 3 Impact Resistant shingle, which offers higher resistance to wind and hail. Sometimes, insurance companies even offer discounts for installing a Class 3 or above shingle. And finally, they offer a Class 4 shingle that is normally used in areas like Colorado or Texas. In the Acworth, GA area, a Class 4 shingle is probably overkill, but some homeowners still choose this option. There are also all kinds of designer shingles available if you want to have a very unique roof.

These are things many homeowners may not be aware of, or notice, and it saves the contractor money.
