Start with the right scope.
Do not use the home floor area as the roof measurement. Pitch, overhangs and roof shape change the surface area. Collect photos from a safe location and ask for a measured proposal. A leak needs diagnosis; replacing a visible patch may leave the actual entry point untreated.
What could it cost?
These illustrative ranges are Remodaro planning assumptions. They have not been calibrated against local contractor bids and are not quotes for your ZIP code. Choose your scope and size in the estimator to see how the calculation works.
| Project | Remodaro base range | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Standard roof replacement | $3–$6 | Per sq ft |
Read the model assumptions and limitations. Decking repairs, structural work, complex access and specialty roof systems can exceed the benchmark.
What changes the price?
- Measured roof surface and pitch
- Tear-off layers and decking condition
- Flashing, ventilation and access
Before you choose a contractor
- Ask how decking damage will be priced if found during tear-off.
- Compare underlayment, flashing and ventilation specifications.
- Separate workmanship coverage from the material warranty.
Check applicable licensing with the relevant state or local authority, request current insurance information, and ask for recent references. Reviews are one input; compare written scope, schedule and payment terms too.
Common questions
Is this an exact quote for my home?
No. The result uses Remodaro’s illustrative planning assumptions and the project details you select. Local labor, materials and conditions can move the final price outside that range.
Can I compare a smaller project with a bigger one?
Yes. Select up to two scopes in the estimator. They are shown as separate alternatives, so the costs are not added together.
Do I need to request contractor contact?
No. Your estimate is yours to keep. A phone number is requested only if you separately ask for contact where coverage is available.
