The cost of roof repairs can vary depending on a few different factors. The roof’s style and roofing material type are the key players to how much repairs will cost.

• The first is the type of roof you have. If you have an asphalt shingles roof, for example, the repair will likely be less expensive than if you have a tile roofs.
• The second factor is the size of your roof. A smaller roof will obviously be less expensive to repair than a larger one.
• The third factor is the severity of the damage. A small roof leak will be less expensive to fix than a large hole in your whole roof. Depending on the age of the roof when repairs are needed, homeowners may have to choose between going forward with repairs or replacing a brand new roof entirely, which will cost significantly more up front but save money in the long term. If the damage has allowed the weather to penetrate your attic to the point that any electrical wiring is affected, that will need to be included in the final costs.
• Flat roofs repairs tend to cost more than pitched roof repairs, as the latter are designed to minimize water damage. Flat roofs may have differing substructuring (decking) also.
• Finally, the fourth factor is the location of your home. Roofs in more rural areas will generally be less expensive to repair than those in more urban areas depending on urban home costs. The cost of roofing contractor travel may affect the final estimate. So, much to factor in.
