We know there a lot of questions when looking for a roofer or construction company, so we've provided answers to the most common questions we receive.
The best way to find out what you need is to reach out to Reliable Roofing & Construction for a free roof inspection. There are many Baton Rouge roofing companies who aren’t interested in doing repairs – they only want the big sale of a roof replacement. That’s not how we operate. We’ll be glad to perform an honest assessment and give you a clear recommendation on your best roofing options. If you only need a repair, that’s what we’ll recommend.
In most cases, if the damage was caused by a storm, your insurance will pay for it (minus your deductible). This is exactly why you should contact a qualified Baton Rouge roofing company if you suspect storm damage, so a professional assessment can be done. You should have an advocate in this process, as your insurance company’s interest do not fully align with your interests. You should also beware of some Baton Rouge roofing contractors who either don’t understand the insurance claims process fully or who are unscrupulous about insurance claims.
A roof installed by a professional roofing contractor in Baton Rouge, LA will vary in cost depending on several factors. Replacing your roof is one of the most costly improvements you can make to your home. Prices for a new roof can vary due to several factors. A roofing contractor will calculate the cost of your roof based upon size, pitch, and the cost of materials to name a few. As a homeowner you should shop around for several estimates, and don’t always go with the lowest price. A reputable roofing contractor will be bonded, insured, and licensed. It’s a good idea to check for testimonials from prior customers, look at work the roofing contractor has done, and also check out how long the roofer has been in the trade. A quality roof will be installed by a quality contractor. Choosing a roofing contractor based upon price isn’t always the best idea when it comes to such a big investment.
The roofs pitch is another variable when it comes to calculating the average cost to replace a roof. The pitch, or slope is calculated as either Low Slope or Steep Slope. Roof pitch is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally. For example, a roof that rises 7 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a 7-in-12 pitch. A roof with a 7-12 pitch or higher generally isn’t walkable and may require extra equipment and safety. A 7-12 pitch is considered a steep slope and roofing contractors will charge more for that. A higher roof pitch is more dangerous and difficult and will raise the cost of your roof.
With all things considered, the cost to replace a roof in Baton Rouge is definitely a costly investment. Replacing your roof will keep you protected from the elements, and can significantly decrease your energy costs. Also, replacing your roof can increase the value of your property and is a great bargaining point when selling your property as well.
A roof’s size is easily the largest cost factor when replacing a roof. It’s simple really; the bigger the house, the bigger the roof and subsequently the bigger the cost. Roofers charge by the ‘square’. A square is calculated by a 10-by-10-foot area (100 square feet). For example, a 2000sqft home is 20 squares. The more squares your home has, the more it’s going to cost.
