What does a new roof actually cost?
Every house is different, but for a typical single-family home the roofing replacement cost usually falls between $8,000 and $18,000. Material is the biggest lever, but it isn't the only one.
Roofers price by the "square", or 100 square feet. A 2,000 sq ft home usually has 20 to 25 squares of roof once pitch is accounted for.

National averages. Get a written quote before you commit.
Roof size
Priced per square. More squares, more material and labor.
Pitch and shape
Steep roofs with valleys and dormers take far longer than a simple gable.
Material
Metal costs roughly double asphalt and lasts two to three times longer.
Decking
Rotted plywood only shows once shingles come off. A good quote allows for it per sheet.
One introduction beats ten phone calls
Many lead sites resell one homeowner to five, eight, sometimes ten contractors. We work the other way.
| Question | RidgeRoofer | Typical lead site |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets your details | One local contractor | Often 5 to 10 contractors |
| Calls you can expect | From that one contractor | From everyone who bought your lead |
| How the service is paid for | Contractor pays an introduction fee, stated up front | Per-lead fees, rarely explained |
| Removing your details | Any time, on request | Up to each company that bought it |
Storm or hail damage? Read this before you file a claim.
Storm and hail damage is often covered by homeowners insurance, but two details on your policy decide how much you actually receive, and timing matters.
A local roofer can document the damage for your claim. We can't file or negotiate it for you, and neither should anyone who knocks on your door after a storm.

- Find your wind and hail deductibleIn hail-prone states it's often a percentage of dwelling coverage. 1% of a $400,000 home is $4,000.
- Check replacement cost vs. actual cash valueActual cash value deducts depreciation, which on an older roof can mean thousands less.
- Report it promptlyMany carriers want damage reported and inspected within about 30 days.
- Get it in writingMeasurements, dated photos and a materials list are what the adjuster works from.

How does RidgeRoofer make money?
Contractors pay us an advertising / lead fee for the introduction. Homeowners never pay. We say this plainly because you should know the business model before you hand over your phone number, not after.
Who will contact me?
One local contractor from our nationwide network, matched to your project — not a broadcast to ten contractors racing you to the phone.
How quickly will I hear back?
Your contractor usually reaches out within a day. After a major storm in your area it can take longer, because every crew within range is committed.
Is RidgeRoofer the roofer?
No. RidgeRoofer is a nationwide matching service, not a roofing contractor. We do not perform any roofing work. Your contract is always with the independent local contractor you hire.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. There is no obligation at any point. Plenty of people use us to get a quote and still go with a roofer a neighbour recommended, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
How do I stop being contacted?
Reply STOP to any text, tell a caller directly, or email us and we'll let the contractor we passed your details to know. You can also request full deletion at any time.
