Understanding Your Roof Replacement Costs

Replacing a roof is one of the most significant investments a homeowner will make. Our roofing cost calculator helps you estimate the budget required for a full replacement based on industry averages for materials, labor, and project complexity.

Key Factors Influencing the Price

• Square Footage: Roofing contractors measure in "squares" (100 square feet). A 2,000 sq. ft. roof equals 20 squares.
• Material Choice: Asphalt shingles are the most affordable and common. Metal and tile provide superior longevity but come at a significantly higher price point.
• Pitch and Complexity: A steep roof is more dangerous and difficult to work on, requiring specialized safety equipment and more labor hours.
• Tear-Off Costs: If your current roof has multiple layers or significant damage, removing the old materials adds to the labor and disposal fees.

Real-World Example

Suppose you have a 2,500 square foot roof and choose Architectural Shingles. If your roof has a Standard Pitch and you require the removal of your old shingles, the calculation would look like this:

• Material & Labor Base: 2,500 sqft × $6.50 = $16,250
• Pitch Multiplier (Standard): $16,250 × 1.15 = $18,687.50
• Tear-Off Fee: 2,500 sqft × $1.50 = $3,750
• Total Estimated Cost: $22,437.50

Always ensure you get at least three quotes from licensed and insured contractors before starting your roofing project.
