Roof ComplexityVaries significantly

The cost of replacing a single ply roof depends heavily on the size of the roof and the chosen membrane material. Larger roofs require more materials and labor, leading to increased expenses. Material selection also influences costs; for example, PVC membranes tend to be more expensive than EPDM but offer enhanced durability. Additionally, challenging roof designs with steep pitches or limited access can raise installation costs, making the project more complex and time-consuming.
