Estimate materials, costs, and measurements for your roofing project
Roof pitch (or slope) affects both material requirements and labor costs. It's expressed as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run:
$20-25/sq ft installed
15-20 year lifespan
$25-35/sq ft installed
25-30 year lifespan
$35-50/sq ft installed
30-50 year lifespan
$60-100/sq ft installed
40-70 year lifespan
$75-150/sq ft installed
75-150 year lifespan
$70-120/sq ft installed
50-100 year lifespan
Always get at least 3 estimates from licensed contractors. Prices can vary significantly.
Schedule roofing work during dry seasons. Most shingles need 24+ hours of dry weather to seal properly.
Manufacturer warranties often require specific installation methods. Ask your contractor about this.
Factor in $100-300 per square for old roof removal and disposal in your budget.
