“How much does a new roof cost in Snohomish County?”
Summary:
Jeremiah gives a market range of sixteen thousand to thirty thousand dollars for a new roof in Snohomish County, stressing this is what he has observed in the market rather than his own pricing. He explains the number is driven by far more than the shingle itself: underlayment, ventilation, and other system components all factor in. The range assumes a standard composite shingle and excludes premium systems such as metal, rubber, slate, and tile. Pitch matters as well, since a low-slope roof requires a membrane system like TPO or EPDM. Access is another variable, including whether a dumpster can be pulled up to the home and whether material can be delivered to the roof safely. His key advice to homeowners is to confirm the roofer has checked the attic to determine plywood needs rather than ballparking that cost or adding it later.
Answer:
The typical roof cost in Snohomish County right now, and this is obviously going to be a bigger ballpark range, but there are a lot of factors to a new roof. It's not just the shingle that you choose, it's the underlayments, the ventilation, all those factors. But in my experience, a new roof could cost anywhere from sixteen thousand to thirty thousand. And I'm not saying that either the higher or the low is my price. That is just the market value. That is what I've seen over my years of being in the roofing industry and competing against quotes, seeing other people's estimates, pricing that I've offered both at my company and other companies. That is kind of the ballpark range that I would find. It's typically going to be for just a standard composite shingle. That's not getting into your high end metal roofing, rubber roofing, slate, tiles. Those are more of your premium type of roof systems. It's also not factoring in a lot of things like pitch. So if you have a lower slope pitch, obviously that's going to be some sort of a membrane like TPO or EPDM. There are a lot of variables with roofing other than it just being a roof. So that's something to take into consideration. How steep is the roof? Is it easy to access? Can we pull the dumpster right up to the home? Can we deliver the material to the roof safely? All those play a great factor in it. I would say the number one thing to determine when choosing any roofer is plywood cost. It's a simple thing that any roofer can do. Just pop your head in the attic space and take a look around to determine how much plywood would be needed, versus just ballparking it or trying to add it in at the end. That would be the key advice that I could give to any homeowner.
