Understanding your estimate

What affects a roofing estimate?

A roofing estimate covers more than just materials. Here's what contractors factor in when pricing your job.

Roof size

Measured in roofing squares (100 sq ft). A larger roof means more materials and more labour hours.

Roof pitch

Steeper roofs require more time and specialised equipment to work on safely, which adds to labour cost.

Material choice

Asphalt shingles are the most affordable. Metal, tile, and flat roofing systems cost more but typically last longer.

Layers to remove

If your roof has two or more existing layers, removal and disposal adds cost before new installation can begin.

Your location

Labour rates vary by state and city. A roof in Austin can cost 20–30% less than the same job in San Francisco.

Decking condition

If structural decking underneath is damaged or rotten, it needs replacing first, adding to the overall cost.

Common questions

Questions about roofing estimates

A contractor who inspects your roof in person will give a more accurate number than any online tool. Most quotes come within 10–15% of the final price, assuming no hidden structural issues are found once work starts. Getting 3 estimates also gives you a reliable reference point for what's fair in your area.
No. Requesting estimates carries no commitment. Most homeowners get 3 before deciding. You can compare them and walk away if none suit you or your budget.
Select "Roof repair" in the estimator above. If you have a specific issue such as a leak or storm damage, a roof repair estimate is the right starting point. Repair costs typically run $350–$1,800 depending on the scope and your location.
Most homeowners hear back from at least one contractor within a few hours. All 3 quotes typically arrive within 24 hours. Contractors in our network are active and responsive — slow follow-up gets them removed.
