Get a Free Roof Estimate
Repair, replacement, storm damage or gutters: one call puts you in touch with licensed roofing contractors who work in your area. Quotes are free and you are never obliged to hire.
Call (888) 571-9239 with your ZIP code and a rough roof size. Most roofing work falls between $692 for a straightforward leak repair and $15,987 for a full replacement with tear-off, so knowing which end of that you are at is the first thing worth establishing.

RoofCostLab does not perform roofing work. Calling connects you with licensed roofing contractors serving your area, and we may be paid a referral fee. It costs you nothing and you are never obliged to hire anyone.
What happens when you call
- 1
You describe the job
ZIP code, what has gone wrong, roughly how big the roof is and what is currently on it. Two minutes of questions, no site visit needed at this stage.
- 2
You are matched to local contractors
Licensed roofers who cover your area and take that kind of work. Emergency call-outs and insurance claims are routed differently from a planned replacement, so say which one you have.
- 3
They inspect and quote in writing
An on-site look at the covering, flashing, penetrations and attic, then an itemised quote. Compare it against the breakdown from our calculators before you sign anything.
Have these five things ready
None of these are required, but every one of them shortens the call and sharpens the number you get back.
- Footprint in square feet Length times width of the area under the roof. Not the roof surface: the square footage calculator converts one to the other.
- Roof pitch Steepness changes both the surface area and the crew rate. The pitch calculator gets it from a level and a tape measure.
- Current material and age Asphalt, metal, tile, slate or shake, and roughly when it went on. A 22-year-old asphalt roof is a different conversation from a 6-year-old one.
- How many layers are up there Most codes cap a roof at two. A second layer coming off adds real tear-off and disposal cost, and it is the single input people most often get wrong.
- Photographs, and a date if a storm caused it Pictures of the damage and of any interior staining. If wind or hail did it, the date matters: insurers apply time limits, and an adjuster will ask.
What each service costs in 2026
Know the range before you call. These are computed from the same material and labor dataset the calculators run, so the figure here and the figure on the linked page agree.
| Service | Priced for | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Full roof replacement Tear-off, disposal, deck check, underlayment, new covering, flashing and permit. | 1,700 sq ft house, 6/12 pitch | $10,206 – $15,987 |
| Leak repair Tracing the entry point, then patching the covering, flashing or vent boot that failed. | 100 sq ft | $692 – $1,056 |
| Emergency call-out Same-day tarp or temporary patch to stop water entering, ahead of a permanent fix. | 100 sq ft | $720 – $1,107 |
| Storm and hail damage Assessment for an insurance claim, then replacing the damaged area. | 1,000 sq ft | $2,422 – $3,558 |
| Flashing repair Resealing or replacing metal at valleys, chimneys, walls and penetrations. | 20 linear ft | $702 – $1,378 |
| Deck and sheathing repair Cutting out rotten plywood found during a tear-off and laying new sheathing. | 400 sq ft | $3,747 – $5,292 |
| Gutter replacement Removing old gutter, forming seamless runs on site, hanging and adding downspouts. | 100 linear ft | $732 – $1,129 |
Planning figures, not quotes. Regional labor, deck condition, access and disposal fees move them. See how we calculate.
Six questions to ask before you sign
- Are you licensed here, and can I see the number? Most states license roofing contractors. The number should be verifiable on your state board's website in under a minute.
- Do you carry general liability and workers' compensation? Ask for certificates, not assurances. Roofing has one of the highest injury rates in construction, and an uninsured worker hurt on your roof can become a claim against your homeowner policy.
- Is the quote itemised? Material quantities and labor, separately. A single total cannot be compared against another bid or against the take-off from a calculator.
- Does it include tear-off and disposal? This is where two bids most often diverge. Excluding it can look like a discount and is not one.
- What happens if the deck is rotten underneath? Nobody knows until the old roof is off. You want the per-sheet price agreed in writing now, not negotiated with a crew already on site.
- What is the warranty, and on what? Manufacturer warranties cover the material. Workmanship warranties cover the installation, and they are the ones that matter, because most roof failures are installation failures.
Two things that should end a conversation
When you do not need to call
Plenty of roofing questions are answered faster by a calculator than by a contractor, and it is worth saying so. Reach for the tools when you are:
- Budgeting a replacement that is still a year or two out. Start with the roof replacement cost calculator.
- Checking a quote you already hold. The material calculator prices the take-off line by line.
- Ordering materials for work you are doing yourself. The shingle calculator converts a roof into bundles, starter strip and ridge cap.
- Working out how big the roof actually is. The roofing squares calculator handles the pitch multiplier.
Call when there is water coming in, when a storm has done visible damage, when a claim needs filing, or when you are ready to schedule the work. Those need eyes on the roof.
