Other Important Factors That Will Impact Roof Repair Cost in Billings
While the size of your roof will be the most important factor in determining the cost to install a new synthetic roof on your home, there are a few other factors that will be very important as well.
Roof Pitch
The pitch of a roof refers to how steep the roof is. Roofers measure pitch as the distance a roof travels vertically (x) over a twelve-inch horizontal span. The pitch is referred to as x/12, and each pitch has an industry standard pitch multiplier that corresponds to it. This multiplier is used by roofing professionals to calculate how the slope of the roof impacts its overall surface area. Generally, as a roof gets steeper its surface area will get larger.
Roof Complexity
The more complex a roof is the more it will cost to install a new roof. Roofs that have multiple hips and gables as well as dormers, skylights, chimneys, and vents will typically be more expensive to install because they will take more man hours and skill to navigate these various complexities.
Roof Height
The height of the roof plays a fairly simple role in the cost of installing a new synthetic slate roof. As a general rule the taller a building is the more expensive it will be to install a new roof on the property – this is true for all roofing systems, not just composite.

Labor Costs
Labor costs are affected by all of the previous factors – which makes sense because labor costs make up around 40% to 60% of the total cost to install a new synthetic slate roof in Billings. The cost of labor can be broken out very simply into three factors:
- The number of technicians required to install the roof
- The number of hours required to install the roof
- The cost per hour for each technician
These three variables will depend greatly on the other factors mentioned from the size and height of the roof to the pitch and complexity.
