How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Roof In Birmingham, AL?
Birmingham, Alabama has seen a pretty massive increase in prices this year due to inflation. We interviewed the local roofing supply companies such as ABC, GulfEagle and Beacon Building products and they all had a similar conclusion that roofing material costs in roofing have increased by 15% to 30% this year which is a significant increase from the year before.
For a simple asphalt shingle roof, your rough material costs will be $125 to $150 per roofing square.
In regards to labor, we have seen increases as well but not near the percentage increase that we saw in materials. In general, a crew will install a simple asphalt shingle roof for around $85- $100 per square depending on the slope of the roof and, the height of the roof and the complexity of the roof.
Therefore, the cost to roof your house is somewhere between $210 – $250 per square before the roofing company makes their profit. If you are getting quotes for less than this, that means they are using inferior materials that will come back to haunt you in the long term.
How Would I (a roofing contractor) Choose A Roofer In Birmingham?
When my friends and family call me from Birmingham and ask, “Who do you recommend around here to replace my roof”, here are some of the things I tell them to look for.
- How long have they been in business?
- What sort of reviews do they have on Facebook and Google?
- Do the reviews look fake or authentic?
- Are they well respected in the community or has nobody heard of them?
- What is their roofing warranty and can they provide examples of honoring that warranty?
Being in business for over 10 years is a good sign in this industry. Honestly, in Alabama starting a roofing company is very easy so you must be very careful about any new business that is trying to get you to sign over a 5 figure check.
My favorite method of finding a great roofer is calling the roofing supply companies that I mentioned above and asking them who does the best work and who buys the most materials from them. This is a great hack that most don’t utilize but it’s how I find companies to when away from our home office and need help.
Final Thoughts
We do not serve the Birmingham area but we still want to make sure you are taken care of. Our suggestion is to get a quote from these companies but make sure the quotes you are receiving are all comparing apples to apples. There are so many different types of roofing materials that vary in price so if you are getting quotes with different materials from each company of course the prices are going to vary wildly. Also, be sure to ask about their warranty information, what safety equipment they will be using (like fall harnesses) and how they plan on cleaning up after the job.
