Cost to replace a roof?

That depends on a lot of stuff. How big is the roof? What quality shingle -- assuming it's shingles -- are you going to replace it with, 20-year, 30-year, or even better? Are you going to lay the new shingles right over the old or are going to rip up the old? If you tear up the old, what is the condition of the roof under the existing shingles? Does a lot of wood need to be replaced or repaired? Are you doing the work yourself or are you hiring a contractor?


You Pay Less When You Buy More Shingles?

Often times, you can get a better price on shingles for your roof if you commit to buying more of them. This is simply because the company wants to give you a deal to encourage you to do your entire roof with their shingles.

You should always look at roof shingles prices with this in mind. You can make everything match so that your home, garage, and other buildings look great together.

When the blisters are open, with weeping, they are contagious, just like the chicken pox.

Once the shingles have scabbed over, you are less likely to pass it on.
