Formula & methodology

How Roof Replacement Costs Are Calculated

Effective Roof Area = Length × Width × Pitch Multiplier
Base Material Cost = Effective Roof Area × Material Rate ($/sq ft)
Labor Cost = Base Material Cost × (Labor % ÷ 100)
Disposal Cost = Effective Roof Area × Disposal Rate ($0.50/sq ft)
Extras = (Skylights × $300) + (Chimneys × $400) + (Ridge Vent ft × $10) + Additional Costs

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'roofing square'?

Roofers measure area in 'squares' where 1 roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. A 1,500 sq ft roof is 15 squares.

Why does roof slope increase replacement cost?

Steeper roofs have greater surface area than their flat footprint and require safety harnesses, roof jacks, and slower staging.

When should I repair a roof instead of replacing it?

If damage is isolated to a single valley, vent boot, or chimney flashing on a roof under 15 years old, use our Roof Repairing Cost Calculator.
