Professional roofing services will cost you approximately $50/m2. This rate may still rise or fall depending on various components of your job such as roof size and material. If it’s a relatively easy job, you can get the services of a roofing expert for a budget price of $45/m2. However, if there are difficulties in installing your roof, your roofing contractor may charge you a premium rate of about $60/m2.
Where do these prices come from?
All prices stated in this article are based on FY 2016 pricing data compiled by ServiceSeeking.com.au. The figures resulted from a comprehensive analysis of quotes submitted by Roofing Experts on the site from July 2015 to July 2016.
Three factors that could keep costs from going through the roof
A variety of factors determines the cost of a roofing job. As a customer, it’s important for you to know these things so that you can plan your expenses and minimise additional costs.
The price of roofing services is usually determined by the following:
1. Roof size
The cost of roofing services is typically on a per-square metre basis, which means that the bigger your roof is, the higher the price you’ll have to pay.
2. Roofing material
Your choice of roofing material will also affect the total cost of your job. Depending on the suppliers or manufacturers, the price of the materials vary. There are also certain types of material that are more difficult to install — such as wood, metal, and tile — so you can expect a higher rate for the roofing contractor’s service.
3. Complexity of the job
One difficulty that your contractor may encounter is access to your roof. If there are obstructions or complications in accessing your roof, specialised machinery or tools may be required. This may cause the task to finish longer as well.
