How to Use the Roof Replacement Calculator:
This calculator helps you estimate the total cost of replacing a roof. Here’s how you can use it:
- Length of Roof: Enter the length of the roof in feet.
- Width of Roof: Enter the width of the roof in feet.
- Pitch of the Roof: Select the pitch of the roof. The pitch determines the slope of the roof.

Explanation of Calculation:
The calculation is performed as follows:
- The area of the roof is calculated by multiplying the length and width and adjusting for the pitch.
- The waste factor is added to the area to account for extra materials needed.
- The total cost is then calculated by multiplying the adjusted area by the cost per square foot.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate and may not account for additional costs such as labor, permits, or removal of the old roof. For an accurate quote, please consult a professional roofing contractor.
