A staggering $7,200 — that’s the current average cost of a roof replacement in the US. This can still go down to $4,700 though, or it could go as high up as $10,460.

With that kind of money on the line, it’s best you explore your repair options first. After all, not all roof damages immediately warrant a new roof.

Besides, the average cost to fix roof leaks is only about $850, roughly a tenth of the cost of a replacement.

Still, there are many factors that drive the average cost of roof repairs, such as the size and materials. How many and how big the leaks are, as well as your home’s location, will all affect your final bill.

We’ll explain all these variables in more detail below, so be sure to keep reading!

How Big the Damage Is

The size of the damage is one of the main factors that’ll influence your roof repair bill. Most roof repair professionals charge per “roofing square”. This measurement is equivalent to a 10×10-foot square.

The Type of Roof

Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing materials in the US, so it’s likely that this is what you have. Fortunately, it’s also the most affordable to repair and replace. The average roof repair cost for asphalt shingles is between $600 and $800.

Repairing a metal roof, on the other hand, could cost anywhere from $610 to $2,150. So, you can expect the mean cost to be $1,300 to $1,400.

If you have a tile roof, it’s possible that the leaks are due to missing tiles. The average cost to get new concrete tiles installed is about $300 to $500 per roofing square. This is only for the installation though, so expect a higher bill if there’s a need to fix the underlayment too.

Your Home’s Location

The exact town or city you live in may require roof repair permits, which can drive up your costs. The price of a permit may be a flat rate, but it may also depend on the value and size of your home.

There’s also the cost of labor in your area — your town, city, or state may have higher labor costs than others. Hawaii, California, and New York, for example, have the highest cost of living in the country. In these states, the cost of labor is much higher than others, and this will reflect on your roof repair bill.

Requesting Quotes: The Most Accurate Way to Determine the Cost to Fix Roof Leaks

As you can see, there are so many factors that influence the cost to fix roof leaks. That’s why the best way to determine how much you’ll spend is to request quotes from roof repair experts.

Don’t worry though, as the most reputable roofing contractors offer free project estimates. These are also non-obligatory, so it’s completely up to you if you still want to hire them or not. Just make sure you schedule the repair ASAP, as those leaks will only worsen over time.
