You probably have one big question if you’re about to get a roof replacement in Brentwood, Tennessee. This question, of course, is, “How much will my roof replacement cost?”
It makes sense that you want this question answered before investing your hard-earned money into a new roof. The problem is, most roofing companies avoid talking about pricing.
Here at Bill Ragan Roofing, we do things a little differently than the other Brentwood roofing companies. That’s why we’ll be using our 30 plus years working in the Brentwood, Tennessee area to give you an idea of the price you’ll pay for your roof replacement.
Let’s get to the average cost of a new roof in Brentwood, Tennessee. After that, we’ll also give you the price per square foot for each of the most popular types of roofing materials in the Brentwood area.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
Many factors go into the cost of your new roof for your Brentwood home, so it’s impossible to give an exact price without getting a roof assessment. However, we can at least give you the average cost of a new roof for a standard middle-class Brentwood, Tennessee home.
Homeowners in Brentwood with a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a walkable roof pitch, a little roof complexity, and architectural asphalt shingles can expect the average cost for a new roof to be around $12,000 to $15,000.
No two homes or roofs in Brentwood are the same, so your roof could be less, more, or fit right in the price range above. However, the only way to get an exact cost is to call a local Brentwood roofing contractor to give you an estimate for your roof replacement.
How much does a roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee, based on the roofing material you choose?
Remember, the price range above is based on an architectural asphalt shingle and a common middle-class home. But what if you want a different asphalt shingle or a completely different type of roofing material for your Brentwood home?
Below you’ll find the cost per square foot for the types of roofing materials popular in the Brentwood, Tennessee, area. Remember, the prices in this article aren’t exact, but they give you an idea of the budget you’ll need for your new roof.
How much does an asphalt roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
There are 3 different types of asphalt shingles, 3-tab, architectural (dimensional), and luxury. They all have different looks, lifespans, and, most importantly, prices.
For a one-story house with a basic up-and-over roof with no penetrations and no valleys, you can expect your new asphalt roof to cost around $4.00 per square foot. This includes basic 3-tab asphalt shingles, underlayment, and other roof components.
For a two-story house with a little complexity and good accessibility, you can expect your new asphalt roof to cost around $5.86 per square foot. This includes a good quality architectural asphalt shingle, upgrading your underlayment, and using all of the manufacturer’s roofing components.
For a two-story house with a cut-up, complex roof, a steep pitch, and not easily accessible, you can expect your new asphalt roof to cost around $8.50 per square foot. This includes luxury asphalt shingles, using all of the manufacturer’s roofing components, and upgrading to copper for the flashing and in the valleys.
How much does a metal roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
There are two types of metal roofs: a standing seam metal roof and a screw-down metal panel roof. While they’re both made of metal, they have very different price points.
A new screw-down (also known as an exposed fastener) panel metal roof costs around $4.50 per square foot to start.
On the other hand, you can expect a new 24 gauge steel standing seam metal roof to cost around $12.00 per square foot for a one-story house with a basic up and over roof with no penetrations and no valleys.
For a more complex roof on a one-story home, you can expect a new 24 gauge steel standing seam metal roof to cost around $15.00 per square foot.
If you’re seriously considering a metal roof for your Brentwood home, I recommend a standing seam metal roof to get the most out of your investment.
How much does a composite (synthetic) roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
Composite (aka synthetic) shingles are made of a synthetic polymer or recycled materials and designed to look exactly like a slate or cedar shake roof. While it mimics another type of roofing material, the price will be very different depending on the type of composite roof you choose.
A new synthetic slate roof costs around $10.00 to $12.00 per square foot to start and has the potential to get up to $20.00 or more per square foot. A synthetic slate roof will always be cheaper than actual slate.
On the other hand, a new synthetic cedar shake roof costs around $14.00-$18.00 per square foot. Just like synthetic slate, a synthetic cedar shake roof will be cheaper than a real cedar shake roof.
No matter which one you choose, a synthetic roof will be a sizable investment and will cost more than the most expensive asphalt shingle roof.
How much does a cedar shake roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
A cedar shake roof is a premium roof system made of natural wood (cedar) materials. It’s considered a premium roof system and will come at a pretty steep price point.
A new cedar shake roof will cost around $25.00 per square foot for a one-story house with a mildly complex roof. For a more complex roof, the cost of a new cedar shake roof will be around $30.00 per square foot.
While there are a lot of factors that go into the cost of a new cedar shake roof, a major factor is the grade of cedar shake shingle you choose for your roof replacement.
How much does a slate roof cost in Brentwood, Tennessee?
Just like a cedar shake roof, a slate roof is a premium roof system made primarily out of natural slate roofing materials. It’s one of the most beautiful and long-lasting roof systems on the market.
For labor and materials, you can expect a slate roof to start around $15.00 per square foot and has the potential to get up to around $30.00 or more per square foot.
Because of a slate roof’s cost, it’s one of the most expensive types of roofing materials on the market in Brentwood and around the country.
