Roofing Cost Calculator

You should use a roofing cost calculator once you know the details of the job, like the roof measurements and what materials you'll be using. Get a bird's eye view of the roof first using free tools like Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Google Earth, or for more detailed measurements, EagleView (paid service) to understand the roof's complexity before measuring.

Our roofing calculator is particularly valuable when you're preparing detailed quotes, comparing different material options, or planning project budgets. It helps ensure you account for all major cost factors including waste and roof complexity.

Our roofing cost calculator takes the guesswork out of pricing a roofing job.

Just put in project details like the roofing dimensions and slope, the cost per square foot of the roofing material you're using, your labor cost per square foot, and the waste percentage.

We'll use these details to calculate the roof area and the total material and labor costs. These numbers will help us figure out the total roofing cost. Then, we'll factor in the waste percentage and roof slope factor to get you the final total cost of the entire project.

While our roofing costs calculator tallies the final total cost for the project, you'll also want to account for overhead, profit margin, and any other expenses when preparing an estimate to send to customers.

Software like Dave can help you create quick, professional estimates that ensure all the necessary line items are included, turning your calculator results into client-ready proposals.

Using these tools will help you accurately price roofing jobs and impress your clients.

The major expenses for a roofing project are materials and labor.

The type and quality of the roofing materials you and your clients choose can be one of the biggest factors when it comes to costs. For example, the cost differences between asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile are significant. Your customers will need to consider their location, budget, and personal preferences in order to choose the best roofing material for them.

As for labor, that's another significant cost. You need to be highly skilled to replace or install a roof. What you charge here will depend on your experience, where you're located, and how big and complex the job is.

Our roof cost calculator helps you account for these two major expenses. Other expenses that might come into play include permits and inspections, unexpected repairs, and site cleanup.
