When homeowners use our Instant Online Roof Quote Calculator, they’re not getting a vague estimate or a marketing gimmick. They’re receiving a real, data-driven roof replacement price based on aerial measurements and standardized installation practices.

Even better, once you lock in your price by scheduling an appointment, we immediately email you a detailed document outlining exactly what is included. No surprises. No hidden line items. Just clear, transparent roofing pricing.
Here’s exactly what is included in the calculator price.
Included In The Price (All-Inclusive Roof Replacement)
Our calculator reflects a complete architectural shingle roof replacement. This is not a stripped-down number meant to get a salesperson in your driveway. It includes everything required for a proper, full-system installation.
✔Complete Roofing Tear-Off
We remove one existing layer of shingles, which is standard for most homes.
✔Inspection of Wood Sheathing
Once the existing shingles are removed, we inspect the wood decking underneath to ensure it is structurally sound.
✔Debris & Trash Removal
All job-site debris is removed from your property.
✔Dump Fees
Disposal costs are fully included in your price.
✔All Taxes
There are no surprise tax add-ons later.
✔Material Delivery Fees
The cost of delivering roofing materials to your home is included.

Complete Roof Replacement Includes Installation Of:
Your calculator price includes installation of the full roofing system components necessary for a modern architectural shingle roof:
New synthetic underlayment
New ice and water shield along all eaves and valleys
New drip edge flashing along the entire perimeter
New flashing around all penetrations and roof-to-wall transitions
New starter shingles along the entire perimeter
New architectural shingles
New rigid ridge vent and ridge cap shingles

This ensures your new roof is installed as a complete system — not just shingles nailed over old materials.
What Is Not Included
Transparency is important. While the calculator price is real and honored in the vast majority of cases, there are certain items that are not automatically built into the number:
❌Wood Replacement
Necessary wood replacement cannot be determined until the existing roofing is removed. Extensive wood damage is relatively rare, and when needed, typically requires only 1–3 boards. For that reason, wood replacement is not built into the base calculator price.
❌Extra Layers of Existing Shingles
The calculator assumes one existing layer of shingles. If your home has two or three layers, additional tear-off costs may apply.
❌Building Permits
Most jurisdictions we work in do not require a permit for roof replacement (often referred to as reroofing). If a permit is required, that cost is not included in the calculator price.
❌Input Inaccuracy
The price generated is based on the information entered. The more accurately your inputs reflect your actual roof, the more precise your quote will be.
❌Extenuating or Special Circumstances
Every home and roof is different. While the calculator price is accurate in the vast majority of cases (assuming accurate inputs), rare or unusual conditions may require adjustment.

Why We Built It This Way
Through greater price transparency, our goal is to make the roof replacement process as seamless and easy as possible. By clearly outlining what is included — and what is not — we eliminate confusion, reduce stress, and prevent pricing games.
This approach saves everyone time, hassle, and headaches, while often saving homeowners money.
