How we calculate roof replacement cost

Contractors enter their pricing in the Instant Roofer app, such as price per square by material.

Homeowners use our roofing calculator to measure roof size by address, including pitch and waste.

For each geo page, we calculate average roof replacement cost by applying local contractor pricing to the measured roof size and then aggregating results for that geo.
