Do you need low cost roofing solutions? There are many options and choices that you must make when building a roof, and you must be savvy about it if you want to do it cheaply and still come out with a quality roof. Let’s dive right into it and go over the lowest costing residential roof you can build and some other important considerations to pay attention to during the process.

This general rule is a bit of an oversimplification because there are many other factors and exceptions, but it is something to keep in mind when deciding on a roof design. The next thing you need to decide on is the roofing material you’ll use on your roof. There are innumerable roofing material options out there, ranging from $150 to $1,500+ per square (100 square feet), not including installation. Which material you choose largely depends on your priorities and budget because the cheaper you go, the shorter lifespan your roof general has. Spending a little more upfront can sometimes add 10+ years to your roof’s expected lifespan, but whether that’s worth it or not depends on your situation. If you want the absolute lowest costing roofing material, asphalt shingles are usually your best option. Dimensional asphalt shingles are very durable, affordable, and go well with most residential structures.
