Getting a new asphalt roof is a big investment, and while most homeowners budget for the basics, they’re often surprised by extra costs that pop up along the way. Knowing what these hidden costs are can help you prepare better and avoid any last-minute surprises.

Tear-Off and Disposal Fees

Before installing your new roof, the old one has to be removed. This process is called a tear-off, and it often includes disposal of old shingles, nails, and underlayment. Some roofers include this in their quote, while others charge extra. Always ask if tear-off and cleanup costs are part of your estimate.

Roof Decking Repairs

Underneath your shingles is a layer of wood called the decking. If it’s rotting, soft, or damaged, it needs to be replaced before your new roof goes on. The problem is that contractors can’t see all the decking issues until the shingles are removed. So, if there's hidden damage, expect extra charges for new wood and labor.

Permit and Inspection Fees

Most cities require a permit for roof replacement. The cost of permits can vary depending on your location and the size of your roof. Some contractors will include the permit fee in their proposal, but others may leave it out. Inspections may also come with small fees, especially if multiple inspections are needed during the process.

Upgraded Materials

If you choose higher-quality underlayment, better shingles, or extra features like synthetic felt or ice and water barriers, your cost will go up. Some upgrades might not seem necessary at first, but your roofer may recommend them during the project for better protection or longer lifespan.

Flashing and Ventilation

Flashing is used around chimneys, vents, and skylights to prevent leaks. If your flashing is old or damaged, it needs to be replaced. Also, proper ventilation is key to extending your roof’s life. If your attic doesn’t have enough airflow, you may be advised to add ridge or soffit vents—both adding to your bill.

Unexpected Labor Costs

If your roof has a steep slope or complex design with lots of angles, it will take more time and effort to complete. Homes with skylights, dormers, or extra chimneys may also require special attention, which can increase labor charges.
