The cost of a new roof will vary depending on the materials used, the setup and pitch of your existing roof, and the existing design of your roof. Designer shingles will cost more than standard shingles. 

If you want a skylight, which should never be over 5% of the size of a room according to the Department of Energy, then that will also cost more. Be sure to consult with a professional contractor to discuss the cost of your next roof installation.

It's important that you ask your contractor if they have insurance, if they use proper safety equipment, and if they are certified. You may also want to ask about any workmanship warranties. Ask how long they've been in the roof installation business and if they have any references.

You should typically look for at least three estimates from different roofing contractors in order to make a well-educated decision. Additionally, you should confirm the payment terms of the prospective work. This process includes things like comparing products and warranties with multiple contractors.
