Roofer Quote Estimator — Frequently Asked Questions

A roofing quote should include materials (shingles, underlayment, flashing, fasteners), labor hours at your rate, disposal/cleanup costs, and your profit margin. Most roofers present a single lump-sum price rather than itemising. Use this estimator to calculate your costs first, then add your 20—30% margin on top before presenting the final number to the client.
Profit margins vary a lot by contractor and by job — enter your own costs and pricing above to see your real margin. Don't confuse markup with margin — a 25% margin requires a 33% markup on your costs. Use the Markup vs Margin calculator to get this right before quoting.
Most roofers price labor by the square (100 sq ft) or by the hour. At $65—$95/hr, a typical residential reroof taking a 2-person crew 2 days (32 man-hours) costs $2,080—$3,040 in labor. Always estimate labor hours conservatively — roofing involves setup, cleanup and unexpected repairs that eat into time.
No — present a single total price. Showing your margin invites negotiation on it rather than on the scope of work. If a client asks how you price, explain that your quote covers all materials, skilled labor, cleanup and your business overhead. A professional, itemised-but-not-broken-down quote builds more trust than exposing your numbers.
Start by measuring the roof area accurately (use satellite tools or a physical measurement) and getting supplier quotes for materials. Estimate labor time conservatively — add 20% buffer for a job type you're unfamiliar with. Price at the higher end of $65—$95/hr and aim for a 25% margin minimum. It's better to walk away from a job than lose money learning it.
