Pricing reviewed October 2026
Base installed ranges per square foot come from the HomeLynk network's 2026 roofing cost guide where marked; other materials and all multipliers are editorial estimates. The calculator multiplies (material + tear-off) × pitch × stories × local cost level × roof area, and reports a typical figure at 45% of the range. Data: roof-costs.json. Last reviewed October 2026.
Roof figures marked as from the 2026 cost guide ($4–$11/sq ft installed; ~$9,000–$18,000 typical replacement; 3-tab $4.50–$7.50, architectural $6–$9, metal $8–$14, synthetic slate $9–$15, natural slate $15–$30) come from the RoofingCostEstimate 2026 cost guide. Tile, wood shake and flat-roof ranges, tear-off add-ons, pitch/story multipliers and city adjustments are editorial estimates based on typical scope, materials and labor — not survey data.
