How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Roof Insulation?

There are many reasons why you may need to replace your insulation. For instance, bulk insulation could compress and lose its ability to absorb heat or reflective insulation could tear or become grimy and lose its efficiency. Roofing entails so many things!

Whatever the reason is, keep in mind that the cost of replacing roof insulation depends on how much you have and the type of insulation you settle for. To find out the answer to 'how much does it cost to replace a roof insulation', read through.

When To Replace Roof Insulation

If properly installed, roof insulation can last for decades. For instance, modern batt insulation lasts for about 50 to 70 years. Notwithstanding, different situations could cause roof insulation to damage or wear faster than it's supposed to. That's why it's advisable to inspect your insulation every 10 years.

Below are some signs that you should replace your insulation:

  • Your home gets too cold in winter and warm in the summer.
  • Your energy bills are increasing rapidly
  • Without running your air conditioner constantly, you won't stay cool.
  • Your roof has become a place where pests feast.
  • Indoor temperatures fluctuate and water damaged the roof.

Cost of Replacing Roof Insulation

The cost of replacing roof insulation largely depends on your budget and the type of insulation you choose. However, on an average, below is what you should expect to pay:

  • $37 for 2400x1200x10mm insulation board or $12.50 per 1200x600x30mm insulation board or
  • $115 per 60 square meters of reflective insulation
  • $1200–$1300 for R 2.0–5.0 batts per 100 square meters

Note that the approximated cost above doesn't include labor cost which is about $50 to $80 per hour depending on how difficult the job is.

The spray foam insulation is the most expensive option which is at $3500 per 135 square meters of spray foam plus installation. You will pay an extra $1200 if the old loose-fill insulation needs to be removed.

In total, you could spend between $2500 to $5000 to remove and replace your insulation. So, ensure that whatever insulation you're removing is replaced with a more efficient one.

Summary

Before settling for roof insulation for replacement, request a quote and ensure you confirm what is included and excluded. Ask for referrals or try contacting previous customers. A local business with many years of experience is your best bet, as they have a reputation to maintain and won't risk that for a few dollars.
