Roof replacement cost calculator
What a new roof costs in 2026 by material, size, pitch and your state's labor rates. Type your address to measure the footprint, or enter it yourself. No signup.
How this estimate is built
- Roof surface, not footprint. If you enter the house footprint, pick the pitch: the area is multiplied by √(1 + (rise/12)²) — 1.12 for a 6/12 roof.
- Waste for cuts, hips and valleys, by material (8–15%).
- Materials and labor at our starter rates per square foot, the same ones the free roof quote uses.
- Labor and tear-off scaled by your state's mean roofer wage over the US mean ($27.45/h), from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024.
- A fixed $525 for permit, dispatch and cleanup.
The range is the estimate ±7%. Local demand after a storm, access, and decking repairs found on tear-off can move a real quote outside it.
Roof replacement cost by material
The same 1,800 sq ft house at 6/12 pitch (2,016 sq ft of roof), one layer torn off, US-average labor. TPO is priced on a flat roof of the same footprint.
| Material | Estimate | Range | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural Shingles | $12,089 | $11,243–$12,935 | $6.00 |
| Premium Designer Shingles | $16,129 | $15,000–$17,258 | $8.00 |
| Standing-Seam Metal | $28,043 | $26,080–$30,006 | $13.91 |
| Clay / Concrete Tile | $34,303 | $31,902–$36,704 | $17.02 |
| TPO Flat-Roof Membrane (flat roof) | $15,901 | $14,788–$17,014 | $8.83 |
A steep roof (10/12 or more) has about 16% more surface than a 6/12 one. Prices by state are on the roof replacement cost by state pages; to measure your roof first, use the roof square footage calculator.
Roof cost questions, answered.
How much does a new roof cost in 2026?
For an 1,800 sq ft home at 6/12 pitch (the TPO figure is a flat roof) with one layer torn off, at US-average labor: Architectural Shingles $11,243–$12,935, Premium Designer Shingles $15,000–$17,258, Standing-Seam Metal $26,080–$30,006, Clay / Concrete Tile $31,902–$36,704, TPO Flat-Roof Membrane (flat roof) $14,788–$17,014. Your state's labor rates, a steeper pitch, and repairs found during tear-off move the number.
What drives roof cost the most?
Roof surface and material, then labor. Pitch matters because the house footprint is not the roof: a 6/12 roof has about 12% more surface than its footprint and a 12/12 roof about 41% more, so the same house in architectural shingles goes from $12,089 at 6/12 to $15,083 at 12/12. Tear-off of one layer adds $2,722 on the typical roof.
How much more is labor in some states?
Roofers earn $20.36/h on average in New Mexico and $34.90/h in Minnesota, against $27.45 nationally (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2024). The calculator scales labor and tear-off by your state's figure; materials are priced nationally. The typical architectural-shingle roof comes to $10,330 at New Mexico rates and $13,916 at Minnesota rates.
Can I calculate roof replacement cost from my address?
Yes. Type the address into the calculator and it looks up the building footprint (FEMA USA Structures or OpenStreetMap), fills it in and sets your state's labor rate; you pick the pitch and material. Our free roof quote does the same with the outline drawn on aerial imagery, so you can see and adjust it.
How accurate is this estimate?
It is a planning range, not a bid. It assumes a straightforward roof and one layer of old roofing; rotted decking, extra layers, many valleys and dormers, and steep-roof safety work all add cost a roofer finds on site. Use it to know whether the quotes you get are in the right range.
