Learn The Costs Involved in Replacing Your Roof
At Kairos Roofing, we understand that your roof replacement cost is a major expense as a homeowner. However, you can trust in full pricing transparency when you contract our professional team. Your new roof cost is always factored into our commitment to completing every roof job on time and on budget – no matter what type of roof you need.
In general, the average cost to tear off and replace roof structures ranges from $3.50 to $16 per square foot for a roof replacement in South Florida. However, roof replacement costs vary widely depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the job and any extra work performed by our team of contractors. Your new roof estimate may also be affected by the longevity of your roof decking or your roof underlayment, and will also vary depending on the type of roof material you choose for the job.
If replacing your roof is not in your current budget, we can also discuss financing options to help lighten the load.

Roof Replacement Assessment and Estimate
The cost to redo roof structures can seem overwhelming at first. However, at Kairos Roofing, we want to make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. That is why we perform a comprehensive roof audit for every job. During a roof evaluation, our team of experts will assess every nook and cranny of your roof in order to draft a detailed and comprehensive estimate for the job. When we create your estimate, we will take the following into account:
- Soffit – This includes any finishing materials we install on your roof overhangs
- Fascia – These long, straight boards run along the lower edge of your roof
- Roof Decking – Your roof decking is what serves as the foundation for your shingles
- Trusses – These give your roof its shape and structure
Your new roof estimate won’t include any surprise extras or additional costs later on, because our team will explain all the possible costs for your roof replacement. For example, the cost to redo your roof may be affected by the condition of your existing roof decking – if it’s in good shape – which can save you money on labor and materials.
To make your roof replacement estimate less stressful, take some time to review our financing options. Here at Kairos Roofing, we can also help you select the right way to pay for the job, if necessary.
