What affects the cost of a new roof?

Several key factors affect the cost of a new roof, making each project unique in price. While size is a major component, other elements can significantly influence the total expense. These include:

  • Roofing material (asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate, etc.)
  • Roof size and pitch (steeper or larger roofs cost more)
  • Removal of the old roof (tear-off and disposal fees)
  • Labor costs (which vary by region and contractor)
  • Permits and inspections (required by local building codes)
  • Underlayment and ventilation needs

Together, these factors determine the final cost, which is why getting a detailed estimate tailored to your specific roof is essential.

How do you calculate the size of a roof?

The cost of a shingle roof is based on the total square footage of the roof, which includes more than just the home's base footprint. Roofing square footage accounts for the entire surface area, measured in “roofing squares,” where one square equals 100 square feet. Several factors determine this measurement, including:

  • Roof pitch (steepness)
  • Roof complexity (such as the number of dormers, valleys, or hips)
  • Overhangs and eaves
  • Architectural features (like skylights or chimneys)

These elements all contribute to the actual surface area, which in turn affects the overall cost of materials and installation.
