_NOTE: Above prices are based on contractors prices in our Local Roofers Directory , and 639,177 roofing projects estimated by RoofCalc.org. Prices vary by state (see regional details below)._ HOW TO USE ROOFCALC ESTIMATOR STEP 1: Enter you house/building/structure ground dimensions, including roof overhangs (if your roof has overhangs, _ADD_ to each house side that has an overhang). STEP 2: Select roof slope/pitch/angle. This will help us accurately calculate your roof area. STEP 3: Select roof complexity. For Cape/ranch homes - use "simple". For Victorian type homes, with dormers / towers and multiple slope sections - use "cut-up". For moderately difficult roofs - use "medium". Use your best judgement for this option. If your roof is very cut up, and you select the "simple" setting, your estimate will NOT be accurate. So, when you get price quotes from local roofers, they will be much higher. STEP 4: Select tear-off (old shingles removal). We recommend to always remove old materials, before installing a new product. This will greatly extend the life of your roof. However, tear-off is not required, and won't even void the warranty for most materials, as long as you have no more than 2 total layers. STEP 5: Select your home/building height. Number of floors affects ease of access, and as a result the total price. STEP 6: Choose your desired material: 30/50 years Asphalt Shingles, Metal Shingles, Standing Seam for steep slope application, and PVC / TPO / EPDM rubber / Built-up /TAR & Grave for low slope & flat roofs. STEP 7: Select your region (use the map below to match your state tothe region).

Many homeowners looking to do a re-roof, are not sure which material would be appropriate for their house and budget. Here is a quick summary of the most popular roofing materials and their main features. ASPHALT SHINGLES COST On average, asphalt shingles cost $3.20 - 3.40 PER SQUARE FOOT, including materials and installation. Composite shingles (3-tab and architectural) are the cheapest roofing material out there. They are also DIY friendly and quick to install. Despite the growing number of options, most roofs installed in the US (about 67.53%) are still the tried and true asphalt shingles. This is because roof shingles offer a good combination of value, aestheticsand durability.
Today, there are hundreds of colors, profiles and styles to choose from, and modern shingles roofs have never looked better. The days when an asphalt roof appeared very cheap are long gone. Thanks to technological advancements, even inexpensive shingles roofs boastgreat curb appeal.
Shingles are a good option if you are looking to do a quick roof replacement on a budget before selling your house. On the downside, asphalt shingles offer a rather short service life, about 12-16 years on average. They are also prone to leaks and may require frequent repairs. This is especially true if you live in a climate with regular cycles of rains, snow, ice dams, and severe temperature fluctuations. An asphalt roof is simply not designed to withstand harsh weather for many years, without breaking down. However, these roofs do much better and last longer in a milderclimate.
Here is a tool that shows asphalt shingles prices, based on YOUR roof size (move the slider left or right to adjust measurements). Install Asphalt Shingles Roof: (192,881 projects) Roof size: 1490 sq. ft. National Average Cost $5,263 See Costs in Your Area! Start Here - Enter your zipMETAL ROOFING COST
A viable alternative to classic asphalt shingles are metal shingles, made either of steel or aluminum. They provide great curb appeal, along with superior durability and weather protection. The average price for metal roofing shingles is $8.35 PER SQUARE FOOT. More upscale metal roofing materials such as standing seam panels and stone coated metal shingles cost $8.5-14.75 PER SQUARE FOOT. In general, metal roofing has enjoyed a major spike in popularity over the last decade. Out of all premium roofing options, metal is the most affordable, and offers lasting protection in any climate. The average lifespan of a metal roof is about 50 years, but many last a fewdecades longer.
For green building enthusiasts and homeowners that want to save the most on heating and cooling costs, metal is also the best material. Most metal roofs are manufactured from 50-80% recycled materials, and are Energy Star rated as a cool roof. This allows homeowners to save anywhere from 15-35% OFF their monthly energy costs. Metal panels are also ideally suited for solar installation. In fact, this is the recommended roof for homeowners who are considering powering their homes using solar panels. ALTERNATIVE ROOFING MATERIALS Other popular roofs include: cedar shingles and shakes, clay and concrete tile, natural and polymer slate. Each one boasts a unique curb appeal, and is typically chosen to match a particular architectural home style. Wood, clay and slate are considered premium roofing materials and cost anywhere from $8-20 PER SQUARE FOOT to install. Keep in mind, that repairing these roofs also costs more than regular shingles, because each materials requires special tools and expert technical knowledge. While pretty much any handy homeowner can install asphalt shingles, this is not the case with any other roofing material. We strongly recommend that you only hire a licensed roofer who works with a particular material you want to install, rather than a "jack of alltrades".
Most roof leaks and failures are actually the result of poor installation. In other words, they are often the result of homeowners trying to save a few hundred bucks and going with the cheapest bid. ROOF REPLACEMENT VS REPAIR Doing a complete re-roof is a complex and expensive project. Sometimes, full replacement is not necessary, and a repair is the more appropriate course of action. Hiring a pro to repair your roof typically costs around $500-700 for asphalt shingles, and $1,200-1,500 for metal, wood, and clay roofs. Slate repair is a lot more pricey, and can start from $2,000-3,000. However, doing an expensive roof repair is still thousands of dollars cheaper than replacing the entire roof. In general, replacement is warranted when your roof is nearing the end of its service life. Its actually best not to wait until the very end of the warranty period and consider replacement as a preemptive measure, before you are hit with sudden leaks and other problems. The average lifespan of different materials varies broadly from as little as 12-17 years for asphalt shingles, to as much as 100+ yearsfor natural slate.
HERE ARE SOME TELLING SIGNS THAT AN ASPHALT SHINGLES ROOF NEED TO BEREPLACED:
> - Many shingles are noticeably buckling or curling>
> - A significant number of shingles is missing (check the gutters, > you may find many of them there)>
> - Many shingles are missing in the area of the roof valley (this > greatly compromises the roof and makes it susceptible to major water> damage)
>
> - Numerous shingles have large visible cracks>
> - There is visible shingle discoloration as well as dark streaks on > many areas of the roof. Overall, it looks very old and ugly. Another reason why a roof may need to replaced is due to poor installation, which causes continuous leaks and other problems. Sometimes the install can be so bad that its not worth it to keep investing money in repairs. Moreover, if your roof has sustained major damage due to ice damming, fire, hail, hurricane, or an earthquake, etc, its best to get a newroof.
PRO TIP: do a professional roof inspection every few years to determine what shape your roof is in, and fix any minor issues that are discovered. Paying for proper roof maintenance can add many years of service to your roof. FACTORS THAT DRIVE UP ROOFING COSTS Keep in mind that all calculated roof cost estimates are approximate. The real cost to replace your old roof will depend on many variables. Here are the most common ones: COST OF MATERIALS: may be affected by changes in the crude oil prices, seasonal rate spikes, local market conditions, supply and demand, as well as natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, etc. We regularly update the calculator, so it reflects current materialsprices.
INSTALLATION COMPLEXITY: many factors are at play here, including: design of your roof (simple or cut up), accessibility, roof pitch and size, number of storeys in your house, number of penetrations and valleys, etc. A roofer will be able to provide an accurate estimate only after doing a physical inspection of your roof. LABOR CHARGES: the actual cost of professional installation will depend on local economic conditions, competition among roofers, costs of liability and worker's compensation insurance for the contractor, waste dumping costs, as well as overhead and profits. See how we came up with the installation prices for this calculator inour roof labor cost
guide.
LOCATION: your total project cost may vary SIGNIFICANTLY, depending on where you live. For example, if you are in the Pacific region (CA, OR, WA, AK), you will pay 18% more than the National Average. If, on the other hand, you are in the West South Central (TX, LA, OK, AK), you will pay 16% less than the National Average.

CHRISTINE says:
September 15, 2017 at 2:34 pm I’m concerned because I’m trying to decide if CertainTeed Landmark shingles are what I want, because a highly recommended roofer in my area only uses Landmark shingles. Your website says the company is reputable. But I’ve read that the company has had at least two class action lawsuits in the past 7-10 years based on defective products. Additionally, roofers, real estate agents, and homeowners all over the internet are saying that they have experiences premature wearing and cracking, and that CertainTeed does not stand behind their warranties. Does anyone have anything good to say about these shingles?Reply

You raise good question, but let me give you another perspective. GAF (the biggest shingles manufacturer in the world) has had several class action suits against it as well (one of which we covered).
And yet, they are still the biggest maker out there, and MOST of their shingles do not “experience premature wearing and cracking” … Actually, every shingles producer has them … and if you read some more, you have lovers and haters of each brand. I read a post on a roofing forum, where the guy said he hates Owen’s Corning shingles, and will never use them again. Then 3 other roofers came and said they love them … go figure. In my opinion ALL asphalt shingles are not the best product for your home, when you have options like metal and some synthetic roofs. All shingles have problems. However, shingles are the cheapest – that’s why most homeowners install them. Back to CertainTeed – we actually did a good comparison of Landmark and Timberline (GAF) shingles which you can check out. Most important aspect is quality installation – which includes: – tearing off old roofing – fixing and rotted wood – having good ventilation – using quality underlayment (my personal favorite is DeckArmor by GAF, which you can use with Landmarks … but I don’t know how that will go with “system warranty”). – making sure your contractor / installers do quality work when Flashing, Nailing, doing valleys, etc. When all of the above is done, even the cheapest 3-tab shingles will last a fairly long time. However, if most of the above are not done, even the thickest, most expensive shingles will fail prematurely. With that said, I don’t doubt that there are defective shingles… but to me ALL shingles are an inferior product, because its a commodity roof that is DESIGNED to last only 15-20 years, so you or next homeowner would have to buy a new roof, keeping production plants going, and roofers working, and everyone making money (except homeowners)… Its a well oiled machine that I call “US Roofing Industry” … it a part of a genius business plan created 100+ yearsago.
ABOUT WARRANTIES: basic warranty of any shingles (including so-called “lifetime” shingles) does NOT cover anything… I advise you to read it. Here is our in-depth comparison of GAF and CertainTeedshingles warranty
.
The only warranty that actually covers something is provided when you have “premium/certified” roofers install the product, using ALL components from same manufacturer. This means that if you want Landmarks installed with GAF DeckArmor (which is what I would do, barring the fact that i’d not have shingles on my home), you would not get this “extended” warranty…
Bottom line – shingles are VERY MUCH the same across different manufacturers, with minor differences. CertainTeed are just as good (in my opinion) as GAF / Owen’s Corning / Malarkey / Tamko / IKO … There is no Toyota/Honda in shingles world … they are all like Kia20 years ago!
If I was having asphalt installed on my home, i’d be much more concerned with who does the work, vs the shingle manufacturer. Don’t overthink it. I hope this helps and best of luck.Leo
PS – i’d not go to (most) Realtors for a roofing advice.Reply

April 25, 2017 at 4:07 pm The cheapest is 5R or 5-Rib corrugated metal roof panels – they cost the same as asphalt shingles, or LESS, because installation is really simple and fast. Keep in mind, 5-rib lasts much longer than asphalt, and is a cool roof, so you will also save on air-conditioning costs. I wrote a blog post about the cost of 5-rib metal roof panels You should also check out our metal roofing costguide.
Good luck

June 14, 2017 at 7:39 pm Chuck … I’d say you will pay about $400-500 per square so at 80 squares = $32000-$40000 for your roof. Depends where you are, and what type of old roof you have.Reply

LEO B says:
September 9, 2016 at 1:37 pmHi HITESH,
I would recommend PVC flat roofing membrane. An IB Roof is the PVC brand I primarily install, but it’s on the expensive side. However, there are less expensive PVC products that are also very good. Good luck – if you need further help, let me know.Leo

June 24, 2016 at 2:12 pm We have discovered fire damage to the trusses on our existing home. What is your estimate to replace a roof by replacing trusses and adding architectural shingles and having a 7/12 roof for a dimensionof 31 X 50?

December 28, 2016 at 10:34 amHello,
We are looking to do the same: replace trusses and roof during an addition and remodel. Did you end up getting it done? We have the price for new trusses, but contractors are having a hard time figuring out a price to remove existing and add the new trusses. Engineers also are requiring shearing of existing walls. We are in central CA. How much did it end up costing for removal, new trusses & roof, and did you have to reinforce existing walls?Thank you,
Kristin

February 27, 2017 at 11:59 amBill and Kristin,
I know this is a bit late – but the cost of trusses/roof rafters (materials only) can be estimated here: https://www.roofcalc.org/roof-rafter-calculator/ As far as labor – it’s expensive, but hard to estimate because there are so many factors involved – removing old roofing + sheething, making sure it does not leak while there is no roof, rebuilding the roof structure, installing plywood and roof… and of course dealing with all the existing building attachments… Also what plays into the final cost, is your location and yourcontractor.
Hope this helps

December 21, 2015 at 2:00 am How much should I expect to pay for the tear off of a roof that has flat clay tiles ? Roof is 4100 sq. ft.Reply
*
LEO B says:
June 14, 2017 at 7:37 pm Hi Ted – I know this is late – but maybe it will help others. Clay tile is HEAVY (800 pounds per square) so if your roof is 20 squares – it’s 16000 pounds (tons) … Even if it all fits in one 30 yard dumpster (which usually includes 4000-5000 pounds) you will have 11-12 tons overage, at $50-100 per ton. So do the math. I’d say an extra $1000-1500 just for disposal.Good luck

August 3, 2015 at 11:08 am Can you please provide cost estimates for Clay Spanish tile roof installation and also stone coated Spanish tile metal roof like Decra. Which is better clay or metal for Tampa, FL? Which is more expensive?Thanks

LEO B says:
August 3, 2015 at 5:42 pmHey Luke,
Very interesting question there. Both clay tile and Decra / stone coated steel roofs are good for Florida. With clay tile you need to make sure your roof framing can withstand 8 lbs / sq. ft. roof load of clay tile. Most roofs cannot, unless they were built / designed to do so. Stone coated steel on the other hand is VERY light (0.9 lbs per square foot) … much lighter than asphalt shingles. If you are more than 1 straight mile from the coast, you can easily install stone coated metal. It will work out great for you. Costs wise, Decra type metal roof will cost $11-13 / sq. ft. installed. Clay tile will cost $20+ installed. So there you have it. I’d recommend stone coated steel.Good luck

July 23, 2013 at 4:18 pm I have to tell you that your calculator is spot on to the quotes we’ve gotten. Two years ago we were getting quotes of $10,000. That price has jumped to $14,000 now. The only consolation that I have is that we have a mansard roof and the problem of ventilation seems to be more addressed now that edge vents have come out for that break in theroof.
Two years ago, everyone wanted for my house to have a big attic fan. Now, roofers around here seem to have gone 180 on them.Thanks.

December 29, 2014 at 3:38 pmHey Susan,
Thanks! We try to keep the calculator up to date with what contractors charge and with fluctuations in material costs. We recently created a roof price index(RPI) which
tracks US average roof costs, based on what our visitors calculate for their roof replacement. As far as ventilation, each roof is unique, but yea – mansards are hard to ventilate properly.Reply

July 17, 2013 at 9:03 pm looking for reroof cost for 1600sq ft roof area, gentle slope. Two skylights on one side. Want 25 yr shingles. Interested in materials cost and labor cost.Reply

ROOFER WITH A VISION says: July 18, 2013 at 3:01 pm You can use the calculator above for TOTAL installation price calculation, and our Roofing Materials Calculatorto estimate
materials cost.
The difference between 25 yrs shingles (3-tab) and 30-yr (now called “lifetime”) shingles is about $7-10 per square, so for 1600 sq. ft. roof, subtract $112-160 from the calculation results.Good luck
