What’s the difference between a roof replacement and a roof restoration?

For this reason, roof restoration is usually cheaper than a replacement.
How much does a full roof restoration cost?
This really depends. The size of your roof and the height of your home are key factors in determining the cost, as are any repairs your home may require before a roof restoration can go ahead.
An average-sized house could be as cheap as $2,500 for a roof restoration whereas a larger home could increase up to around $5,000.
