FAQs
How Much Does a Flat Roof Replacement Cost in Maryland?
Flat roofs cost less than sloped roofs, for obvious reasons. However, there's more involved in replacing a flat roof. Here are the factors that affect flat roof replacement cost in Maryland:
- The Size of the Deck - Larger decks will take more time to replace, which means extra labor costs. More materials are also required which adds to the bottom line of the project.
- Material Choices - The materials chosen for a flat roof replacement can affect the final price. For example, torch-down with more layers increase your flat roof replacement cost because they take more time to lay and must be laid in a specific way to help water runoff.
- Timeframe - If your flat roof replacement project is an emergency and you need to get it done quickly, companies may charge a premium to justify shuffling their schedule and expedite the delivery of material.
How Much Does a Sloped Shingled Roof Replacement Cost in Maryland?
In the Maryland area, traditional 3-tab asphalt roofs are the most common and affordable roofing option. The average house size in Maryland is roughly 1,900 square feet, with older homes being smaller. A 3-tab asphalt shingle roof replacement will cost between $3.50 and $5.50 per sq. ft.
How Often Should I Replace My Roof?
A complete roof replacement is necessary when the roof and shingles are in such bad condition that no repairs can be conducted without the likelihood of a leak in the near future. For shingles this is when the grit has worn away and the corner begin to curl. For flat roofs with torch down this occurs with the seams have deteriorated to the point that they no longer create a water tight seal.
In general, this is the recommended replacement schedule based on the material used:
- Torch down membrane: 15-20 years
- Composition Shingles: 12-20 years
- Asphalt Shingles: 15-30 years
- Wood Shingles: 20-25 years
- Rubber Roofs: 30-50 years
- Metal Roofs: 50-75 years
Why is Roofing So Expensive?
Roofs can be flat or sloped, have many levels, or have a low or high pitch thus impacting materials and labor costs. A steep roof is harder to work on and increases risks to contractors. A roof that’s difficult to access causes extra labor and sometimes equipment to finish the job. If your home has skylights, they’ll have to be re-flashed or you may opt to replace them entirely.
Chimneys, pipes, and vents also need to be re-flashed during roof installation. Commonly, vents have to be replaced due to new building codes and better ventilation requirements. Choosing architectural or premium designer shingles is an excellent option for high performance and elevated style, however, it’s pricier than traditional 3-tab shingles.
Are Roofs Covered By Home Insurance?
Your home insurance is there to pay for roof-related damages, but only for covered perils such as damages from severe weather, falling objects or fire. Your homeowners insurance does not typically cover damages or leaks caused because an older or poorly maintained roof is failing.
How long does it take to install a new torch-down roof?
Replacing a flat roof can take as little as one day or as much as three days. This depends on the materials used, complexity of the roof and weather conditions. Homes that have more complex flashing requirements will take longer.
It usually takes four days to replace a 3-tab shingle roof, including one day for stripping and preparing the roof deck and three days of laying new shingles. It's important to note that replacing a flat roof is not as simple as it may seem. For example, if you’re using torch-down materials, the fire-resistant adhesive used in the installation process must cure properly or it will fail when exposed to rain or high temperatures.
How long does it take to re-shingle an asphalt roof?
In general, the roof of an average size can be re-shingled in one to two days. Larger homes can take take a little longer at three to five days. Depending on the weather, complexity, and accessibility of your home it could longer or shorter. Homes the need to have existing layers of shingles stripped can.
Can I Replace My Roof If I Have a Roof Deck?
Unfortunately, if you have a roof deck it will need to be removed and then re-installed in order to properly replace the roof. Sometime it is possible to replace the roof with a walkable membrane that is cheaper and easier to maintain than a traditional wooden roof deck.
