How much does BackerKit cost? Our plan information for BackerKit is available here. The vast majority of our project creators earn enough profit (not just revenue) from add-on sales and pledge upgrades to pay for BackerKit itself. The exact cost of each plan is determined by the size of your project and the amount that you raise from add-on sales.
Next is installation. The most common type of roofing material is asphalt shingles, which cost between $120 and $140 per square. Slate and clay tiles, wooden shakes and metal roofs are also options but come with higher prices. For example, metal roofing typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500 per square.
While non-metal roofs come with an average lifespan of 17 years, a metal roof can last up to three times that long. The national average cost for installing metal roofing is $16,453. But the average resale value for a metal roof is $14,141, meaning that you can recoup nearly 86% of your roofing costs. You can then use the eave to align your metal roof panels with a 3-4-5 triangle measurement. 2  These panels will run from top to bottom, and you should leave a trough of four to six inches in the valley through which water can run. 3  Next, you will install trim.
