How this estimate is calculated
Roof area is multiplied by an installed price per square foot (materials and labor) for the metal roof type you choose, plus tear-off and disposal or the preparation needed to install over existing shingles.
If you enter a home footprint, roof area is estimated by adding 8% for overhangs and adjusting for pitch.
Steeper pitch, a more complex layout and taller buildings add labor. Complex roofs also need more trim, flashing and cut panels.
Roof deck condition adds an allowance for replacing damaged sheathing.
Each range is shown as about 10% either side of the calculated figure, then rounded.
Not included: permit fees, structural repairs, gutters, snow guards, skylight or chimney work.
