How We Calculate Roofing Prices
Our price estimates combine three inputs:
- BLS Occupational Employment & Wage Statistics: Government labor data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides median hourly wages for roofing professionals in your metro area.
- National Baseline: Starting ranges are our own editorial estimates of typical national project costs, not a survey of prices actually charged, and are not sourced from HomeAdvisor, Angi, Thumbtack or any contractor.
- Cost of Living Adjustment: We scale the national baseline by your city's cost-of-living index, so local figures are estimates, not observed prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical roof last?
Asphalt shingles: 15-25 years; metal roofing: 40-70 years; slate: 50+ years. Climate and maintenance affect lifespan significantly.
How much does a full roof replacement cost?
Typical range is $5,000-15,000+ depending on size, material, and location. Get insurance quotes if covered by homeowners insurance.
What's covered by homeowners insurance?
Storm damage and sudden leaks are usually covered. Normal wear and tear is not. Check your policy and get a professional inspection after severe weather.
When is the best time to replace a roof?
Spring or fall are ideal. Summer peak seasons mean higher costs and longer wait times. Winter can complicate safety and material installation.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If more than 30% is damaged, replacement is better. Repairs are more cost-effective for small sections if your roof is less than 10 years old.
