Hello World! Welcome Friends! Roofing systems will damage with time because the roof bears the brunt of weather exposure that will evidently damage it. But a good roofing company like Anchor Roofing can show the way in keeping the roof healthy so that it lasts its lifetime with some minor repairs in between. Considering that replacing the roof is very costly and it could cost you as much as a new roof, delaying the replacement as much as should help to control cost. Keeping the roof clean and inspecting it periodically should help to detect damages early that reduces repair costs. Sometimes re-coating the roof can extend its life, and it is possible to restore all kinds of roofs from shingles to slate and from tile to the metal as well as concrete roofs.
Since the roof protects the home and its dwellers from exposure to the weather conditions, it becomes evident that you must take utmost care so that it functions well and lasts long enough to recover the investment. Only periodical roof restoration services can maintain the roof in good condition, and you must make a budget for it. It means that you must gather information about the approximate cost of roof maintenance and repair that are part of the restoration services.
Now, let us look at some of the cost elements that should help to create a budget for roof restoration.

Restoration cost
The size of the roof is the biggest contributor to roof restoration cost, and there are many other factors to consider because the cost can vary according to the geographical location. Roof contractors usually quote rates on per square meter basis because it helps to equalize many of the variable factors and maintain parity of cost between different locations. By thumb rule, the rate is more for smaller roofs and vice versa. Larger roof restoration cost can vary between $17 and $22 while for smaller roofs it is between $22 and $30 per square meter.
Labor cost
Be ready to bear anything between $40 and $90 on an hourly basis as labor rates for roof repair. The rate varies according to the roofing material and the kind of repair necessary according to the type of damage. In addition, how difficult it is to reach the damaged spots on the roof to carry out the work is a factor that increases the rate. The same labor rates translate into $28 to $38 per square meter.
Cleaning charges
Regular roof cleaning is part of the best maintenance practice, which helps to maintain good roof health that looks good too. It can cost you about $1.7 for every square meter for cleaning concrete and metal roofs, but special roofs like terracotta roof can cost $4 per square meter.
Roof replacement cost
The pricing depends on the roof material, and the quality of workmanship and you can expect anything between $80 per square meter to $110 per square meter on an average as roof replacement cost. The price varies whether the replacement is total or partial.
The above prices are ballpark figures, and you must check in your locality for the actual prices.
