How This Calculator Works

This calculator estimates your total roof replacement cost based on national average material and labor prices for 2026. We multiply your home's square footage by 1.4 to estimate roof area (accounting for roof pitch and overhangs on a typical hip roof), then apply per-square-foot pricing for your chosen material.

Keep in mind: Actual costs vary based on roof complexity (pitch, number of valleys and dormers), local labor rates, number of existing layers to remove, condition of the roof deck, accessibility, permit costs, and disposal fees. This estimate is a starting point — getting quotes from local contractors is the best way to know your actual cost.
