The cost of a roof can vary depending on many different factors. However, you may need a roof replacement or repairs if your roof has been damaged. Since it is the main thing separating your home from the outdoors, it is important to invest in it and keep it in good shape. But if you are on a budget, you can try to control the cost by making budget friendly decisions. 

Here are some factors that can affect the cost of a roof. 

Type Of Roofing Material 

The type of roofing material you choose can affect the cost of your roof. Some are much more expensive than others due to their quality. If you are on a budget and want to save money, choosing an asphalt shingle roof can be cost friendly and be a smart choice. Or, if you want to splurge on your roof and are not worried about the cost, you could choose cedar hakes, slate, or tile. 

Roof System Materials 

Your roof is complex to say the least. Besides shingles, you need an underlayment, ice and water shield, and a ventilation system to name just a few of the ‘extras’. The materials and systems you choose can impact the overall cost. But, your roof’s system helps to improve its longevity, so it is important to invest in quality materials. 

The Size Of Your Roof 

If you have a large roof, it is going to be more costly compared to a smaller roof. This is simply because there is larger area that needs attention and more materials. Unfortunately, there are not many options for being cost friendly in this circumstance. But, you can opt for less expensive materials to make up for the fact that there is a larger area to be covered.
