How Much Does It Cost For An Average Roof Replacement?

How Much Does It Cost For An Average Shingle Roof Replacement?

If you live in a rancher that is 2000 square feet and your roof pitch is a 4/12 you are looking at approximately $5,600.00.  This price includes the following:

Tarp perimeter of home and protect all shrubbery.  Re-locate any deck furniture/belongings away from home.  Tear off existing shingles down to bare plywood.  Check for any bad plywood, if so, replace at a rate of $2.00 per sq. ft.  Remove all step flashing, counter flashing (if you have a chimney), pipe collars, apron and pan metal.  Install ice and water shield to all eaves, step flashing, counter flashing, pipe collars and valley areas. Install a premium roofing underlayment to entire roof area.  Install drip edge to perimeter of home.  Install starter strips to all rakes and eaves.  Install shingles (30 year architectual) to entire roof.  Install new metal pipe collars.  Install new step flashing, apron, counter flashing as necessary.  Install new premium ridge vent to all ridges of home.  Install new hip and ridge caps to all ridge vents.  Clean and remove all job debris.  Replace all deck furniture/belongings to original location.  Magnet sweep entire perimeter of home and driveway.

 If you live in a different style home, please give us a call at WF Schmidt Construction Company 443-314-8950 for a free estimate.  It only takes about an hour for one of our professionals to do a core inspection in the attic (if you have one) and put a ladder on your roof.  Our company is licensed and insured.

Cleaning Your Gutters

Cleaning your gutters is a very important task and is too often ignored.
A gutter system is designed to move water down from the roof and away from the home's foundation for proper drainage.
Problems that can arise if your gutters get clogged include:
Leaky walls and ceilings
Gutters getting pulled off the house
Paint or siding damage
Ice-damming from blocked water
Basement flooding
If you are not up to cleaning your gutters on your own, call us at 443-314-8950 or you can also visit our website for more information on our services. Most gutter cleaning packages start off at $99.

Roof Inspection

A roof inspection is a preventative maintenance job that is easy to overlook. Don’t! Inspect your roof twice a year, in the spring and the fall, and fix any problems you find.
When inspecting your roof, check to make sure the shingles, flashing, and other features are in good shape. Binoculars might be helpful. Here’s what to look for:
Cracked caulk or rust spots on flashing
Shingles that are buckling, curling, or blistering
Missing or broken shingles
Cracked or worn rubber boots around vent pipes
Missing or damaged chimney cap
Masses of moss and lichen, which could signal the roof is decaying underneath
If you are concerned about doing this yourself, WF Schmidt Construction Company can help. Give us a call at
443-314-8950 with any questions or to schedule an appointment. You can also visit our website for information on our services.
