What Affects the Cost of a New Roof in Atlanta?
Several key factors influence the cost of a new roof in Atlanta, which is why every project varies in price. While the size of the roof plays a major role, many additional elements can impact the overall expense, including:
- Roofing material (asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate, etc.)
- Roof size and pitch (steeper or larger roofs typically cost more)
- Removal of the old roof (tear-off and disposal fees)
- Labor costs (which can vary by region and contractor)
- Permits and inspections (required by local building codes)
- Underlayment and ventilation requirements
All of these components work together to determine the final cost, making a detailed, roof-specific estimate essential.
How do you calculate the size of a roof?
The price of a shingle roof in the Atlanta area is determined by the roof’s total square footage, which goes beyond the basic outline of the home. This measurement reflects the full surface area and is calculated in “roofing squares,” with each square representing 100 square feet. Several factors influence the total measurement, such as:
- Roof pitch (how steep it is)
- Roof complexity (including features like dormers, valleys, and hips)
- Overhangs and eaves
- Architectural elements (such as chimneys or skylights)
All of these details increase the true surface area of the roof, ultimately impacting the cost of materials and installation.
