2. Roof Size The size of the roof is a major factor in determining cost. Roofing material is typically sold by the square, where one square covers an area of 100 square feet. Therefore, larger roofs will naturally incur higher material costs. For example, a roof measuring 2,000 square feet would require 20 squares, translating to material costs that can easily reach several thousand dollars.

Additionally, the overall ventilation of the attic space can impact the performance of shingles. Poor ventilation can lead to heat buildup, which may cause the shingles to age prematurely. Ensuring that the attic is well-ventilated allows for proper air circulation, reducing heat and moisture that could potentially harm the roof.

Homeowners looking to enhance the appearance of their roofs can also opt for specialty dimensional shingles that mimic the look of wood shake or slate. While these premium shingles can be more expensive, their aesthetic appeal can increase the overall value of the home.
