Figures are per square — 100 square feet of finished roof — for installed work including tear-off, and are 2026 planning estimates rather than quoted prices. Squares shown allow for a typical 6/12 pitch and 10% waste. Always get three written quotes before committing.

Why state figures differ this much

Tear-off layers. Stripping one layer is standard; a second layer adds labour and disposal to every square.
Pitch. Anything above 9/12 needs staging and roughly doubles the labour rate per square against a 4/12 roof.
Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys are detailed work that does not scale with area.
Decking. Rotten sheathing found after tear-off is priced per sheet as an extra, because nobody can see it beforehand.
Access. A tight lot with nowhere near the house for a dumpster adds real carrying time.
Season. Late spring through early autumn is peak; quotes taken in the off-season are often lower.

Frequently asked questions

Why does roof replacement cost differ so much between states?

Labour rates are the largest factor, followed by code requirements — snow-load engineering, wind uplift ratings and impact-resistance rules all add cost. Disposal fees, permit regimes and how far material has to be shipped account for most of the rest.

What is a roofing square?

One hundred square feet of finished roof surface. Roofing is priced and ordered by the square, so a 2,500 square foot roof is 25 squares before waste.

Are these prices quotes?

No. They are 2026 planning estimates for budgeting, not offers. Actual pricing depends on the pitch, complexity, tear-off layers and condition of the decking on your specific roof.

How do I turn a per-square price into a total?

Measure the building footprint, apply the pitch multiplier to get the roof area, divide by 100 for squares, then multiply by the per-square rate. The roof area calculator does the first two steps for you.
