The Real Cost of Roof Replacement
In Wisconsin, roof replacement costs typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on several key factors. Here's exactly what affects your price:
1. Roof Size (Square Footage)
This is the biggest cost driver. Roofers measure roofs in "squares" (100 sq ft = 1 square). A typical residential roof is 20-30 squares.
2. Roof Pitch (Steepness)
Steeper roofs require more safety equipment, slower work, and higher labor costs.
3. Roofing Materials
Material choice is the second biggest cost factor. Higher-quality materials last longer and look better.
4. Old Roof Removal & Disposal
Most roofs require removal of the old roof before installation. This adds labor and disposal costs.
