Roof replacement cost calculator
A replacement calculator is most reliable when you enter the contractor's measured quantities and unit costs. Generic default prices can create false precision, so the tool below starts with blank rates. Tear-off, field roofing, flashings, ventilation, disposal and tax can be estimated.
Use the roof area, not floor area
Roof area increases with pitch, overhangs and attached sections. Enter the measured roof surface and the waste percentage recommended for the layout and material.
Separate known work from allowances
Tear-off, field roofing, flashings, ventilation, disposal and tax can be estimated. Concealed deck replacement should remain a clearly labelled allowance until removal.
Treat the result as a planning figure
A calculator cannot see access, code requirements, wet insulation, structural issues or manufacturer details. Compare the output with a site-specific written proposal.
Build a planning estimate
Planning tool only. It does not inspect the roof, apply code or warranty requirements, or predict concealed damage.
