Roof Size & Area
Pricing follows square footage. A typical Georgia home has a roof area of 1,500 – 2,500 sq ft, roughly 1.1 to 1.5 times the home footprint once slope and overhangs are counted.

Get a ballpark range in seconds. All estimates include labor, materials, and tear-off. Final pricing requires a free on-site inspection.
Tip: average home is 1,500–2,500 sq ft. Your roof area is roughly 1.1–1.5× your home's footprint.
Reference ranges for installed roof replacement, including tear-off and disposal, before pitch and story adjustments.
| Material | Cost per Sq Ft | 1,500 Sq Ft Roof | 2,500 Sq Ft Roof | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingles | $4.50 – $8.00 | $6,750 – $12,000 | $11,250 – $20,000 | 20–30 yrs |

Ranges are ballpark figures for planning only. Decking repairs, steep pitches, and material upgrades will move the final number.
Pricing follows square footage. A typical Georgia home has a roof area of 1,500 – 2,500 sq ft, roughly 1.1 to 1.5 times the home footprint once slope and overhangs are counted.
Architectural asphalt runs a fraction of the cost of standing-seam metal, cedar, or tile. Material choice is the single biggest driver of your final number.
Steep roofs, multiple valleys, dormers, and tight roof-to-wall transitions take longer and require extra safety measures, which adds labor.
A roof with two or three existing layers costs more to remove and dispose of than a single-layer tear-off.
Soft, rotted, or delaminated sheathing found once the shingles are off has to be replaced before the new roof goes down.
Ridge vents, intake vents, pipe boots, chimney and valley flashing, drip edge, and upgraded underlayment all add to the total.
The number above is a starting point. A free on-site inspection confirms your roof area, pitch, decking condition, and ventilation, so your written proposal reflects the real job.
