Roof replacement cost calculator
Start with a transparent national planning range, then use the result to understand which parts of a contractor quote deserve a closer look.
How the model is built
HomeQuoteCheck triangulates current national consumer cost ranges with a standardized industry benchmark. Published sources disagree materially, so we show a range instead of pretending one number is universally correct.
- HomeAdvisor: national installed cost-per-square-foot and material ranges.
- Angi: national replacement-cost context and major cost drivers.
- Journal of Light Construction Cost vs. Value: standardized asphalt and metal replacement benchmarks.
- Instant Roofer: contractor-input national asphalt replacement dataset.

Frequently asked questions
Does this include local labor pricing?
No location adjustment is applied in v1. Local labor, permits and disposal can move real bids materially.
Does it include decking replacement?
No. Hidden decking repair is deliberately excluded because it often cannot be known before inspection or tear-off.
Why is the result a range?
Published national sources disagree because their scopes, markets and datasets differ. The model keeps that uncertainty visible.
