Half the homes in Benton, AR were built before 1995
That's the median year built for Benton in Census Bureau figures, and 7,034 of the city's 16,230 housing units went up before 1990. A house that old still wearing its first shingle roof has outlasted the usual life of those shingles.
How long roofs usually last
Sources: InterNACHI's life-expectancy chart, which notes that weather, design, materials, and upkeep change how long a roof lasts; U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024, tables B25034 and B25035.
What an aging roof shows from the yard
- Shingle edges that curl, cup, or crack
- Shingles that are brittle or missing
- Bare patches, with shingle granules piling up in the gutters
What it shows in the attic
- Daylight coming through the roof deck
- Water stains or damp insulation
- A roof deck that sags
Jon Speer spends about an hour on your roof at the free inspection and checks the decking from the attic where he can. If a repair will do, he tells you so, and most shingle and flashing repairs run $400 to $1,500. See roof repair in Benton.
What a new roof costs in Benton, AR
A new Atlas architectural shingle roof on most Benton homes runs $10,000 to $25,000. That's about $450 to $800 per square, or 100 square feet of roof.
On an older house, Jon checks two things that change the price. One is how many layers of shingles come off, and the other is the decking under them. Both go into your written estimate before work starts, so the price doesn't change once the old roof is off.

Permits and code for a new roof in Benton, AR
Call the City of Benton before work starts to confirm whether your re-roof needs a permit. Community Development handles the question, and the details are beside this.
Arkansas's 2021 residential code sets the layer rule: a new layer can't go over a roof that already has two (IRC R908.3.1.1). A Lifetime Construction Builders replacement tears the old roof off to the decking anyway. Your new roof starts on a bare deck, however many layers are up there now.

Call the desk, answered 24/7(501) 307-1440How much does a roof replacement cost in Benton?
Most Benton homes run $10,000 to $25,000 for Atlas architectural shingles. Lifetime Construction Builders prices exposed-fastener metal at $12,000 to $22,000, standing seam at $20,000 to $38,000, and stone-coated steel at $22,000 to $42,000. The written estimate is free, and its price doesn't change.
My Benton house was built before 1995. Is the roof due for replacing?
If it's still the first roof, it has outlasted InterNACHI's estimates of about 20 years for 3-tab shingles and 30 for architectural. Lifetime Construction Builders checks it for free, about an hour on the roof with photos, and tells you whether a repair will do instead.
Can a new roof go over my old shingles in Benton?
Not on a Lifetime Construction Builders replacement. The crew tears the old roof off to the decking first. Arkansas's 2021 residential code also bars a new layer over a roof that already has two (IRC R908.3.1.1).
How long does a roof replacement take in Benton?
One to two days for most Atlas shingle roofs, and three if the roof is large, steep, or has several layers. Lifetime Construction Builders installs exposed-fastener metal in two to four days, standing seam in three to seven working days, and stone-coated steel in three to five.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof in Benton?
Only for damage your policy covers. If the damage costs less than your deductible, you pay, the Arkansas Insurance Department notes. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with the claim at no extra cost, photographs the damage at the free inspection, and starts a storm replacement once the claim is approved.
