Address-based estimator

Price your roof replacement from your address

We measure the roof from aerial imagery, add waste, and apply our published per-square rates. No email or phone number required to see the number.

Which roofing system are you pricing?

No email and no phone number required. We measure the roof from aerial imagery and apply our published per-square rates. The bot check is verified on our server before any measurement runs.

Your estimate

Pick a system and enter the property address. We return roof area in squares, including waste, and the installed cost range that area implies at our published rates. Nothing is gated behind a contact form.

Ballpark estimate
30.25 roofing squares, waste included
$14,400 – $18,200

Footprint is converted to roofing squares using the pitch multiplier and a standard waste allowance, then priced at the same per-square rates the address estimator uses. Real quotes still depend on decking, ventilation, flashings, and access. We give line-item pricing on every proposal.

What actually moves the price

The eight cost drivers

Roof size (squares)
Priced per 100 sq ft. Larger roofs earn some volume efficiency but scale mostly linearly.
Pitch & complexity
Steep or cut-up roofs need more labor, safety equipment, and material waste.
Material choice
Biggest single variable — asphalt to tile can be a 4x price swing.
Decking condition
Priced per replaced sheet. Older Central Texas homes average 2–6 sheets.
Ventilation upgrades
Balanced intake and exhaust often runs $400–$1,200 additional but doubles shingle lifespan.
Solar detach & reset
Removing and reinstalling panels is $1,500–$4,000 depending on system size.
Permits & inspections
Some municipalities require permits ($150–$500). Others don’t.
Accessibility
Tight yards, delicate landscaping, or long material carries add labor time.

Why we always publish prices

The old roofing playbook is to hide numbers until a salesperson is in your living room. That’s the exact playbook we refuse to run. Homeowners deserve to walk into any conversation already knowing whether the ballpark makes sense — and to leave that conversation with a written, line-item proposal.

Cost FAQs

Because roofs are usually quoted as one lump sum, small differences hide big ones. Line-item comparisons reveal it: some roofers skip synthetic underlayment, use builder-grade flashings, or don’t include ventilation upgrades. Always compare quotes item-by-item.

Sometimes. But most of the time, the cheapest quote skips something important — ice & water barrier, proper drip edge, or ventilation. A $2,000 savings that shortens your roof by 8 years is not a savings.

In Central Texas, architectural shingle systems run about $4.75–$6.00 per sq ft installed. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles $5.50–$7.00. Premium and designer shingles $8.00–$10.00. Standing seam metal $8.00–$13.00. Tile is quoted per project after inspection, because cost depends on the condition of the existing underlayment and the tile type.

Yes — always at least two. Compare the systems being specified, not just the number. And beware the door-knocker offering to “roll” your deductible; that’s insurance fraud in Texas.
