Methodology, assumptions & sources
How this estimate is calculated
Roof area is multiplied by installed material rates. Removal, limited decking repair, and access are separate allowances; decking does not assume the whole roof needs replacement.
This is a planning estimate, not a contractor quote. Actual quotes vary by location, specification, site conditions, labour, and project requirements.
Included assumptions & exclusions
- Material-specific tear-off allowances should be refined further in a later dataset update.
- Steep pitch and complex access are modest HomeCostNest planning adjustments.
- Permits are not included; they commonly vary roughly $100–$500.
