This price will vary depending on the size and type of flat roof, as well as your location. Keep in mind that this is just an average cost, and you may end up paying more or less depending on your specific circumstances.

Expect to spend somewhere in between $4,300 and $19,100 to replace a 1,000 square foot roof with flat roofing material. How can you tell if your project will be closer to the low or high end of that range? It mainly depends on the type of flat roof you want, the cost of labor in your area, and the structure of your roof.
The cost of replacing a flat roof depends on the size of the roof and the type of material used. A typical flat roof replacement costs between $4,300 and $19,100 per 1,000 square feet, including labor and materials.
Fiberglass roofs are typically less expensive to install than traditional asphalt roofs, but they may not last as long. The average cost to replace a fiberglass roof is between $4 and $7 per square foot.
Rubber EPDM roofs are durable and easy to install, making them a popular choice for both commercial and residential buildings. The average cost of an EPDM roof replacement is between $5 and $12 per square foot.
TPO roofs are a recent innovation in flat roofing. These roofs are made from a thermoplastic material that is both waterproof and heat-resistant. The average cost to replace a TPO roof is around $4 to $11 per square foot.
TPO roofs are growing in popularity due to their energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. This type of flat roof comes from recycled materials that reflect sunlight to help keep your building cool in the summer.
Flat concrete roofing typically costs between $4 and $8 per square foot to replace. A flat concrete roof is a popular choice for many commercial and industrial buildings. Concrete is durable and can last for up to 40 years with proper maintenance.
When considering the cost of flat roof replacement, several factors affect the average price in addition to the size and type of roof. These include homeowners insurance, roof drains and ventilation, surface coating, and permits and inspections.
Roof drains and ventilation prevent moisture build-up on your roof, which can lead to problems such as water damage and mold. Installing a single roof vent costs $300 to $600 on average.
Expect to pay $1 to $5 per square foot extra for a sealant layer on your flat roof, labor and materials included. Surface coatings can provide additional protection against weather and UV damage.
A flat roof replacement is a major project that requires the expertise of a professional roofing contractor. While you already have a pro working on your flat roof, you might choose to add on some related services, such as:
Gutters play an important role in protecting your home from water damage by channeling water away from your roof and foundation. And again, good drainage is essential for a flat roof. Professional installation is usually recommended for new gutters.
Chimney repair costs $200 to $1,050 on average. The repairs may include replacing bricks or the mortar between the bricks, as well as repairing any damage to the flashing (the material that seals the space between your chimney and roof). The cost of repairs depends on the extent of the damage.
For example, the cost of a flat roof replacement in an urban area like New York will likely be higher than the national averages discussed in this guide, while the cost in a rural area like Wyoming will probably be lower.
Climate can also affect your costs. In general, roofing costs in colder climates will be higher than in warmer climates, due to the increased need for insulation and weatherproofing. On the other hand, hotter climates tend to cause more wear and tear on a flat roof, which means you might need a replacement sooner than you would in a milder climate.
If you live in an area prone to severe weather events (such as hurricanes or tornadoes), the cost of replacement will be higher because of the additional materials and labor required to ensure the new roof can withstand extreme conditions.
We strongly advise that you leave the replacement of a flat roof to the professionals only. Any work involving your roof requires specialist skills and knowledge. If you attempt to do it yourself, you could get hurt or cause serious damage to your home.
As a general rule of thumb, a flat roof should be replaced every 15 to 20 years. However, the life expectancy of your specific roof depends on many factors, such as the materials used and your local climate.
If your roof is showing signs of wear and tear, it may be time to replace it. The average national cost of a flat roof replacement is around $9,000 for 1,000 square feet, but typical prices can range from about $4,300 to $19,100. This price will vary depending on the size and type of roof, your location, and many other factors specific to your project.
1103.4 Side Walls Draining onto a Roof. Where vertical walls project above a roof to permit storm water to drain into the roof area below, the adjacent roof area shall be permitted to be computed from Table 1103.1 as follows:
In determining this maximum horizontal projected roof area the user is calculating the area of roof that rain may fall upon and the amount of rainwater demand, calculated in square feet, it creates. But this is not the only area that contributes to the amount of rainwater on the roof. As rain falls it rarely falls in a direct vertical line to the ground. Wind normally accompanies rain and causes the rain to fall at an angle to the ground. If there are side walls projecting vertically up from the roof, they will block the rainfall and cause it to drain onto the roof. This causes an increase in the amount of rainwater that can collect on the roof. These contributing, or "tributary," areas must be added to the total projected roof area and be represented in square feet so that one can easily determine the size of the roof drain and piping. To accomplish this, Section 1103.4 contains the parameters to determine the square foot area to be added to the maximum horizontal projected roof area for the seven different side-wall conditions that may occur.
Although there are seven conditions discussed here, there are only two percentages that must be used to calculate the total roof area. The first percentage is for a wall that is above other walls on a roof, or a wall that stands alone and is not adjacent or opposite other walls. Fifty percent of this wall area is added to the flat area of the roof. This factor takes into consideration that the wall does not collect rainfall as a flat area would; thus, only half of the area of the wall needs to be added to the total area of the roof.
The second percentage is for adjacent or connecting side walls. Thirty-five percent of the total wall area of both walls is added to the projected roof area. This factor takes into consideration the fact that one connecting wall will block a portion of the rainfall from falling on the other wall. Thus, only 35 percent of both wall areas are added to the total area of the roof.
For the following examples, the flat area of the roof will be given 500 ft2, and the typical wall area represented by each wall segment will be given a height of 10 feet with a width of 20 feet, which is 200 ft2.
In Example 1, a single wall projecting above the roof would add 50 percent of the total area of the wall or 100 ft2 to the flat area of the roof. The total projected roof area would then be 600 ft2. This amount would then be used this to determine the size of the horizontal drain, conductor, or gutter.
In Example 3, the two adjacent areas of equal height (wall sections 1a and 2) are calculated as follows: (10 x 20) + (10 x 20) = 400 ft2 x 35% = 140 ft2. The area above the equal height walls (wall section 1b), 10 x 20 = 200 ft2, would be calculated at 50 percent, which is 100 ft2. Add this to 140 ft2 for a total of 240 ft2. The total projected roof area of 740 ft2 would then be used to determine the size of the horizontal drain, conductor, or gutter.
In Example 4, two opposite walls of the same height will "cancel" each other. One wall will catch rain adding to the rainwater on the roof, while the other wall will block the same amount of rain from falling on the roof. Therefore, no area is added to the 500 square feet of flat roof area.
For Example 6, in order to determine the computation of the square footage that is added to the total projected roof area for three walls of differing heights, use the same criteria as in the previous examples. Per Example 4, the two opposite walls (wall sections 1 and 3a) cancel each other. Per Example 1, the inner wall (wall section 2a) will be calculated as one wall (since wall sections 1 and 3a have been cancelled) at 50 percent, or 100 ft2 (as in Example 1 above). Wall sections 2b and 3b are adjacent walls of equal height and will be calculated as Example 3 at 35 percent, or 140 ft2. Wall section 3c will be calculated as Example 3 as a wall section above adjacent walls at 50 percent, or 100 ft2. A total of 340 ft2 must be added to the 500 ft2 flat roof projected area for a total of 840 ft2. This amount would then be used to determine the size of the horizontal drain, conductor, or gutter.
For Example 7, in order to determine the computation of the square footage to be added to the total projected roof area for four walls of differing heights, use the same criteria as in the previous examples. Wall sections 1, 2a, 3a, and 4a are of the same height and opposite each other, and therefore will cancel each other as in Example 4. For wall sections 2b and 4b, the two are opposite walls and cancel each other. Wall section 3b will be computed as one wall standing alone at 50 percent, or 100 ft2 per Example 1. Wall sections 3c and 4c are adjacent walls of equal height and will be computed at 35 percent, or 140 ft2, as Example 2. Wall section 4d will be computed at 50 percent, or 100 ft2, as Example 3. Therefore, a total of 340 ft2 will be added to the 500 ft2 "flat" roof projected area for a total of 840 ft2. This amount would then be used to determine the size of the horizontal drain, conductor, or gutter. 2ff7e9595c
