Roof Replacement Cost Calculator
TL;DR: HomeScore's free estimator gives a whole-roof planning range from your home size, quality level (budget, typical or premium), home age, ZIP code and the systems you select. For a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home at the typical quality level, its planning range is $14,000–$22,000 before the ZIP adjustment. This is a planning assumption, not observed contractor pricing or a quote.
Bottom line
- Typical range: $14,000–$22,000 (1,500–2,500 sq ft, typical quality, before ZIP adjustment)
- How the range is built: Ranges come from HomeScore's planning dataset, scaled by home size, quality tier and a ZIP/state regional multiplier.
- Biggest driver: In the model: home size and quality tier. On real quotes: roof area, pitch, material, tear-off, decking repair and access.
- What the tool uses: The estimator uses home size, quality level (budget, typical or premium), home age, ZIP code and the systems you select. It does not measure your roof, compare materials or price a specific quote.
HomeScore roof planning ranges by home size and quality tier (before ZIP adjustment)
| Home size | Budget | Typical | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | $6,000–$12,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | $18,000–$35,000 |
| 1,500–2,500 sq ft | $8,000–$14,000 | $14,000–$22,000 | $22,000–$42,000 |
| 2,500–4,000 sq ft | $12,000–$18,000 | $18,000–$28,000 | $28,000–$55,000 |
| 4,000+ sq ft | $16,000–$24,000 | $24,000–$38,000 | $38,000–$75,000 |
These are HomeScore planning assumptions used by the estimator, not observed 2026 contractor prices or averages. Your ZIP applies a regional multiplier; actual quotes depend on scope.
Overview
This page opens HomeScore's whole-home cost estimator with the roof pre-selected. You enter home size, quality level (budget, typical or premium), home age, ZIP code and the systems you select; the tool returns a planning range and a planning window based on home age. You can add or remove systems before you see results. It is a budgeting aid. It does not measure roof area or pitch, compare shingle, metal or tile, or replace written quotes from licensed roofers. HomeScore's state cost guides (for example, the Hawaii roof guide) use a separate scenario: a national planning range multiplied by a state planning factor. The estimator uses different inputs, so the two totals are not expected to match and neither is a guaranteed price.
FAQs
How much does a new roof cost in 2026?
There is no single national price. For a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home at the typical quality level, HomeScore's estimator uses a planning range of $14,000–$22,000 before ZIP adjustment. That is a model assumption, not an observed average; written local quotes are the real price.
What does this roof calculator use?
It uses home size, quality level (budget, typical or premium), home age, ZIP code and the systems you select. It does not measure your roof, compare materials or price a specific contractor quote.
Will this match HomeScore's state roof cost guide?
HomeScore's state cost guides (for example, the Hawaii roof guide) use a separate scenario: a national planning range multiplied by a state planning factor. The estimator uses different inputs, so the two totals are not expected to match and neither is a guaranteed price.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Decide on condition and a licensed roofer's written repair and replacement options, not on age alone. The estimator uses home age only to suggest a planning window; it does not inspect your roof.
