Roofing Estimate Calculator

A demo estimate for homeowners around Somerset, Monticello, Jamestown, and Russell Springs. Turn the house footprint and roof pitch into squares and a ballpark range before you call for a free inspection. Built for an independent roofer, not a chain.

Example houses

Your roof

Demo mode: try the presets. The full calculator, with every field unlocked, comes with purchase at bluegrasstemplates.com.

Include overhangs, not just the heated rooms.

Steeper roofs cover more than the footprint. The number is the pitch multiplier.

Extra for hips, valleys, and cuts. 10–15% is common on these roofs.

One square is 100 sq ft of roof, material and labor together.

Use 0 for an overlay with no tear-off.

One lump sum for the small metal pieces.

A 1,800 sq ft footprint at a 4/12 pitch is about 1,897 sq ft of roof, or 20.87 squares after 10% waste. Demo estimate $12,078.06, likely between $10,870.25 and $13,285.87.

Planning estimate only, not a quote or financial advice. Actual prices vary.

How this is figured
  1. Roof area = footprint × pitch multiplier.
  2. Squares = roof area ÷ 100 × (1 + waste ÷ 100).
  3. Material + install = squares × price per square.
  4. Tear-off = squares × tear-off per square.
  5. Total = material + install + tear-off + extras.
  6. Range = total × 0.9 to total × 1.1.

A simple footprint only. Hips, valleys, dormers, and a second layer of shingles change the waste. This demo does not measure your roof.
