Roof Replacement Cost Calculator

Estimate a roof replacement budget using roof area, roofing material, pitch, stories, tear-off and market-cost assumptions.

Your project details

Change the assumptions below to match your project.

Planning estimate only. Actual contractor pricing varies with scope, access, code requirements, permits, labor availability, product brand, warranty and site conditions.

How this roof estimate works

The calculator starts with an installed cost-per-square-foot planning range for the selected roofing material, then adjusts for pitch/complexity, building height, local market level and tear-off. It is intentionally transparent rather than pretending to know a contractor’s exact bid.

What can move a real quote?

Decking repairs, flashing, ventilation, underlayment, disposal, permits, access, warranty, product brand and local labor can all change the final price. A low quote may also exclude items that a higher quote includes.

Best way to use the number

Use the range to establish a budget, then compare at least three itemized quotes with the same scope. Ask each contractor to identify exclusions and allowances in writing.
