Roofing Cost Calculators

Do you need a roof inspection? Roof inspections may be carried out for many reasons. If you're buying or selling a home, you may want to know its condition. Or if a storm has passed through, it may be a good idea to check for potential damage.

The average cost of a new gutter installation is $2,300, and the average range is $800 to $6,000. However, the material used and the cost of labor could vary the price. The linear feet of gutters needed, the number of downspouts, and the length of downspouts will also impact the price of the installation.

The average cost for new gutters ranges from $4 to $30 per linear foot, depending on material, style, and installation type.

Extras like gutter guards, screens, or underground drainage will also drive up the price of an installation but could also reduce the cost of long-term maintenance or improve the system.

Vinyl Gutters & Accessories

Vinyl gutters are probably the least expensive gutter material, and they do not rust. The downside to vinyl is that extreme cold or heat will affect it. Vinyl expands and contracts with the heat and cold.

Therefore, this material is not recommended for extreme climate areas, and even in moderate climates, you will need to replace vinyl sooner than a metal alloy gutter. Expect to pay $2 to $5 per linear foot for vinyl gutters, or about $300 to $750 for the typical project.

Cost to Replace Roof

When leaks begin, they should be repaired or replaced quickly to prevent major interior water damage and mold from growing. The cost to replace the roof on most homes is $6,700 to $25,000, and most spend about $14,000 for a new, 2,000 sq. ft roof using architectural shingles or aluminum roofing. The cost can be more for larger homes, homes with complex roof designs, or when installing more expensive materials.

Many homes have an asphalt shingle roof, but some have wood, metal, tile, and slate, which can be more expensive. Roofing material is estimated by the square, which is equal to 100 square feet. The average roof is 1,500 to 2,000 square feet, or around 15-20 squares.

When leaks occur, the first question to ask is whether the roof can be repaired or if it should be replaced. If the roof is relatively new and the leaks are simple to repair, then a repair may be in order.

If it’s over 20 years old and the leaks are widespread, then a full replacement may be necessary.[1] Most will be somewhere in between, however, and the decision may require an expert. Consult a roofer to get an inspection and identify your options.
