How to use the roof planner
Enter the roof footprint (length × width), choose a pitch and material, and pick your state. The planner estimates roof area, roofing squares and a cost range.
Why pitch changes the cost
- Steeper roofs have more surface area.
- Higher pitch is harder and slower to work on.
- Accessibility and complexity add labor.
Roofing squares
Roofers price by the 'square' (100 sq ft). A steeper or more complex roof needs more squares of material and labor, which is why it costs more.
Permits: A permit is likely required for this project. Verify with your local authority before you start.
These estimates are based on state-level averages, not ZIP-level precision. The final cost varies with your home and local market.
