Worried about roof replacement costs? When it comes to replacing your home’s roofing system, costs are always one of the most significant factors to consider. At Scholten Construction, we understand the importance of having a clear understanding of the process, including local roof replacement costs and what you can expect.
If you live in Sioux Falls or the surrounding area, here’s a detailed breakdown of average roof replacement costs to help you plan.
The Average Roof Replacement Costs in South Dakota
In South Dakota, roof replacement costs can range anywhere from $7,500 to $18,000+. Additionally, it’s important to understand that there are several factors that influence where your roofing project may fall within that range, including the size of your home, your chosen roofing materials, and local labor costs.
New Roof Costs By Material:
- Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt is the most common roofing material in South Dakota. It’s affordable, durable, and suits a variety of homes. You can expect to pay around $7,500 to $12,000+ for asphalt shingle replacement on an average-sized home.
- Composite Shingles: Composite shingles, made from a blend of materials like fiberglass, asphalt, and recycled products, mimic the look of wood or slate without the high cost. Roof replacement with composite shingles typically costs between $10,000 and $17,000+, depending on the brand and style.
- Metal Roofing: Metal roofs are becoming more popular in South Dakota due to their longevity and ability to withstand harsh winters. Metal roof replacement in South Dakota typically costs $12,000 to $20,000+.
- Slate Roofing: Slate roofs are extremely durable but expensive. Replacing a slate roof in South Dakota could cost anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000+.
6 Factors That Affect Roof Replacement Costs:
- Roof Size: The larger your roof, the more materials and labor it requires. Roof replacements are typically priced per “square” (100 square feet). On average, South Dakota homeowners pay about $400 to $650+ per square foot.
- Roof Pitch & Complexity: Steep or complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or skylights are harder to work on and will cost more. A steep pitch can add 10% to 30% + to your overall replacement costs.
- Roof Removal/Tear-Off Costs: Removing your old roof adds to the overall expense. Tear-off can cost between $1,000 and $3,000+, depending on the number of layers and total square footage.
- Roofing Underlayment & Deck Repairs: Sometimes, the decking (the wooden base under your shingles) needs repairs or replacement. Replacing plywood decking costs about $70 to $100+ per sheet.
- Local Labor Rates: Labor costs vary across South Dakota. In Sioux Falls and other larger towns, skilled roofing labor can run higher than in more rural areas. Labor can make up 40% to 60%+ of your total roof replacement cost.
- Roofing Permits: In South Dakota, building permits are required for roof replacements. Permit fees typically cost between $100 and $300+, depending on your municipality.
New Roof Installation Financing Options
A new roof is a major investment, which is why many explore roof replacement financing options to help manage the cost of their new roof. Financing plans are designed to make it easier for homeowners to spread payments out over time and protect their homes without financial strain.
Other roof financing options to consider may include personal loans through a bank or credit union, home equity loans, or lines of credit. Some homeowners even take advantage of low-interest credit cards or specific home improvement financing programs. Always compare rates and terms carefully to choose the best financing option for your situation.
