1. Getting a Roof Replacement? Here’s How To Save Money

2. When it comes time to replace your roof, you want the best quality, but you also want to get a reasonable price as well. While there are a variety of factors that go into determining price, we’re going to take a look at ways you can save a few bucks without sacrificing quality. Let’s Talk Saving Money, Without Sacrificing Quality

3. Before talking to a roofing contractor, research materials, costs, and terminology, so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to during negotiations. Being informed means you’re less likely to be taken advantage of.

4. In many cases, problems such as water leakage can be fixed with relatively inexpensive repairs. The time will come when you have to replace your roof, but there’s no reason for spending the money now if you don’t have to. Depending on when you purchased your home, there may be a warranty that’s attached to the roof from a previous replacement. Some roofs also come with manufacturer’s warranties, so be sure to check for that.

5. It’s a good idea to shop around to try and get the best price. Roofing contractors are easy to come by and you’re not doing anything wrong by getting estimates from all of them. Just like shopping for a vehicle, it’s a good idea to shop around to try and get the best price. Because a roof replacement can be so expensive, look to see what financing options are available either through your bank or through the roofing manufacturer. If you time your roofing project for early spring or early winter, you’ll likely get a much better deal on the labor since summer and fall are the busy seasons for contractors.

6. If you’re handy, and if you have the time, try doing some of the work yourself. Any way you slice it, a new roof is going to be expensive, but with a little planning, a little education and consideration, you can get a price that’s easier to handle.
