Roof Cost on Long Island
Roof cost is an important thing to consider if you are going to need a new roof in the future. With our long, cold, and wet winters in the North Eastern parts of the United States, in areas such as Long Island, NY, roof replacement is often an expensive but necessary cost.
The cost to replace an average sized, asphalt shingled roof can range anywhere from $4,000.00 for a low pitched roof to around $20,000.00 for steeper more intricate roof lines. Other types of roofing such as slate roofing or cedar roofing have an even high cost of replacement but, will also have a much longer life span than a standard asphalt shingle.
Roof replacement is often necessary to fix areas where leaks are present or the shingles just need to be replaced due to wear. After prolonged exposure to elements like sun, wind, rain and ice, asphalt shingles will lose their granules and become thin and brittle.
Another reason for roof replacement is to get rid of contaminants such as roof algae, moss or lichen. These types of contaminants attach themselves to the asphalt shingles, cedar shakes or slate tiles and leave an unsightly appearance on what is one of the most visible parts of your home.
