The Cost Of Roof Shingles

There are two main factors which contribute to creating the cost of roof shingles, which are the cost of the materials, and the skill required to install them.

The cost of the materials isn’t always a clear cut matter, as if your property is near to the place where the materials are being produced, you’ll often get a lower price due to the reduced cost of transportation; so sourcing locally is ideal. Still, what is going to have the most impact on the cost of the materials is the type of materials being used, whether it is wood (what type of wood as well), slate, or man-made.

Some shingles need to be installed more carefully, and some may be heavier. Both of these problems can require more skill and labour to overcome, which can also contribute to changes in cost.

The other factor is how honest your builders are with the quote they’re giving you, which is why you should always look for a second opinion, and only choose from contractors whom have a good reputation.
