When it’s time to replace your roof, you want to make sure you are doing it in the most cost-effective way possible. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your budget.
Request a quote
Ask a roofing company for a free estimate. This will be the step that offers insight into the needed work, materials that will be used and how many labor hours you might expect. You should get no less than five estimates before making a commitment to anyone. And avoid choosing a company based on a low rate.
Instead, consider companies that offer competitive rates, are properly licensed and insured and take time to carefully explain the details of the roof replacement to you. Source: TodaysHomeowner
Plan an off-season replacement
Another way to help save some money on your roof replacement project is to time it right. Ideally, you want the work done during the off-season.
In general, roofing companies are busiest during summer and early fall. However, business is slower during late fall and winter or early spring. Hence, scheduling your roof replacement during these times can help you gain lower prices or take advantage of off-season discounts.
Take note, however, that these times can have unfavorable weather. So, make sure to inquire about how long the company thinks it will take to finish the project. Source: MyDecorative
Save more by using high-quality materials
Get high-quality roofing materials to save money on roof replacement. Cutting corners when choosing roof materials can backfire through costly repair issues arising from using poor quality materials. But, you don’t have to pay the full price for good quality materials if you’re keen on what to do, such as the following:
– Choosing a contractor with a formal partnership or tie-up with direct roof manufacturers usually gives better deals on roofing materials.
– Compare the prices of roofing materials of different suppliers.
– Visit the roofing manufacturer’s website to look for coupons or special promotions. Source: Build-Review
