How to Calculate Roof Replacement Cost

To estimate roof replacement costs, first determine the total size of your roof in squares. One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. Multiply the number of squares by the average cost per square for your chosen roofing material.

Roof complexity, ventilation upgrades, tear-off requirements, and structural repairs can increase total installation costs.
