Roof Tear-Off Cost Calculator

Removal, Disposal & Labor per Square

The Roof Tear-Off Cost Calculator estimates the cost to remove existing shingles, underlayment, and nails from your roof. Enter total squares, number of existing layers (1, 2, or 3), local dump fee per ton, and labor rate per square, and the tool returns a full cost breakdown. Tearing off two layers typically costs 60% more than one layer because of the extra weight and labor. Most municipalities limit the number of layers a roof can have, so check local code before considering an overlay.
