A new roof can cost thousands of dollars, making it essential to find smart ways to save money on the project. Making well-informed decisions from start to finish will determine how much you pay for your next roof replacement. In this post, renowned roofer and home remodeler Nuss Construction Company lists several smart ways to save money on a new roof.
Research Roofing Materials
The first step to saving money is to do your due diligence and compare the cost of different roofing materials. Asphalt shingles, wood shakes, rubber slate and metal roofs have pros and cons in terms of installation costs, durability and longevity.
Take Advantage of Tax Credits
Another smart way to save money on roofing is to take advantage of tax credits for installation costs and energy-efficient upgrades. If you’re installing a metal roof with an ENERGY STAR® rating, you may be eligible for a significant tax credit. Consult your local roofer for more information about upgrading from an old roof to one that has high solar reflectivity, also known as cool roofing.
Hire a Professional Contractor
It’s tempting to try and save money by installing the roof yourself. However, this can lead to more costly problems in the long run. A professional contractor has the experience and expertise to get the job done using quality materials and exceptional workmanship. Hiring one for your project instead of going the DIY route also gives you peace of mind knowing that the job is done properly from start to finish.
