There are three main types of roofing services. There are roof maintenance, roof repair, and new roof installation or replacement services. Luckily, there are ways that you can budget for all three types of roofing services. Here's how to ensure your roof services are part of your budget.

1. Maintenance Services

One of the keys to ensuring that your roof does not bust your budget is to have regular roof inspections done. Regular roof inspections can detect minor roofing problems that are easier and less costly. Your roof should be inspected semi-annually and only costs $221 as the national average, according to Angi. Since $221 is the approximate cost every six months, you should plan to save $422 over the year or about $37 every month in a roof fund.

2. Roof Repairs

If you follow the semi-annual inspection plan, put money aside to cover the costs, and add a little extra each month to cover repairs, you'll be able to cover the cost of repairs without too much of a pinch to the budget. Having an emergency fund for roof repairs can help to offset a big chunk of the cost and make repairs more affordable. In addition, keeping up with roof maintenance will reduce the need for repairs.

3. Roof Replacement

If your roof needs to be replaced, and you know in advance that you will need to replace it, you can budget for all or part of the cost. According to Roofers Guild, a replacement roof costs about $8,000. While that seems like a lot of money to budget for, your new roof will last for years to come. In fact, according to Forbes, an asphalt single roof will last for 15 to 30 years with proper care and maintenance. In general, after the first roof repair, it's a good idea to start saving for a new roof.
