6 factors impacting the cost of a roof in Massachusetts

For homeowners in Massachusetts, there are 5 main factors that go into quoting a roof replacement project:

  1. Roof style:
    More complicated roof styles require more measuring and cutting, and thus cost more than simple roof styles.
  2. Roof steepness:
    Steeper roofs make roofing jobs more difficult, as added safety precautions need to be taken. This results in higher labor costs.
  3. Roof square footage:
    Quite simply, the bigger the roof, the more expensive it’s going to be. Luckily, as Owens Corning Platinum Preferred members, we’re able to secure good deals when buying shingles in bulk.
  4. Roofing material:
    Different roofing materials come with different costs. Asphalt shingles are typically cheaper, while metal roofs are the most expensive. 
  5. Labor costs:
    When it comes to labor, you get what you pay for. That’s definitely the case in the roofing business. Sure, there might be a guy who can do it for cheaper, but you’re better off going with trusted experts with years of experience.
  6. Season:
    The best time to replace your roof is between the months of September and March. Contractors are generally less busy during this time and so quotes tend to be cheaper. During the summer months, prices increase an average of 10% to keep up with demand.
