How Roof Type Affects Roof Replacement Prices
The choice of roofing material significantly impacts the cost of your roof replacement project. Prices vary due to differences in manufacturing costs, durability, and installation complexity. For example, architectural shingles are more affordable and easier to install compared to metal roofs, making them a lower-cost option. In Washington, you can expect to pay around $13 per square foot for architectural shingles, $26 per square foot for low slope/single-ply membrane, and $33 per square foot for standing seam metal, on average. The below table shows what the average homeowner in Washington can expect to pay for a full roof replacement based on the roof material they select.
