What Is the Cost of a DaVinci Roof?
The cost of DaVinci lightweight roof systems is no secret, however, it’s not an easy answer because there are so many factors involved in the total cost of a roof installation.
The material cost of DaVinci synthetic slate shingles and DaVinci cedar shake alternative shingles is determined by:
-
- The DaVinci product that you select – Multi-Width Slate or Shake, Single-Width Valoré Slate or Shake, Fancy Shake or our Bellaforté products.
- The exposure at which you want or need the tiles installed.
- The coursing you’d prefer – straight or staggered (this also depends on the DaVinci product you would like).
- Transportation costs – DaVinci is produced in Kansas City, KS. Some distributors order truck loads of product to keep the cost per square much by saving on fuel. However, transportation costs are always a factor in the overall cost.
On top of the material costs of a DaVinci roof, you also have several other factors that may or may not influence the overall cost of your roof:
- Labor costs – Be sure you get at least 3 bids from contractors to so you can compare recommendations and costs for all that needs to be done (start to finish) to install the new roof.
- Underlayment costs – depending on where you live in the country, you may need ice and water shield or other heavier duty underlayments that cost more than 30# felt.
- Metals – The metal that you use in open or closed valleys as well as standing seam metals can affect the cost of your roof.
- Nails – The quality of nails that you use can also make a difference in the overall cost of your roof.
