Roofing Cost Calculator
Enter your roof size, material, and pitch and you will get a budget range with the breakdown shown. The price bands are reconciled for this area from two different published sources — not a single national average — and nothing here asks for your email.
Estimated range
$10,120 – $25,080
about $460–$1,140 per square, all in
- Material (22 sq)
- $9,240–$22,880
- Tear-off
- $880–$2,200
This is a budgeting estimate, not a quote. It's built from Valentine Roofing's Tacoma-specific, material-broken-out published pricing — a real local contractor's own numbers, not a blended city-wide average — so treat it as a solid starting range, not a precise number. Your actual price depends on your roof's specific size, pitch, number of penetrations, material, storm/age-driven deck damage, and access. A binding number comes from a free on-site inspection.

The range above is a budget. A real number takes a free on-site inspection — we check the deck, count the valleys and penetrations, and confirm the pitch.

These per-square bands are built from a real Tacoma-market contractor's own material-broken-out published pricing, divided over a typical 25-square home. Asphalt shingle runs $420–$1040 per square, flat/low-slope (TPO) $835–$2080, and metal $1040–$2600. The 2026 roof cost guide shows the full breakdown and why online estimates for this market disagree so widely.
What the multipliers do
Pitch adjusts the base band rather than replacing it. A standard 4/12–7/12 roof uses the base labor rate; an 8/12-or-steeper roof adds 25% because it needs roof anchors, harnesses, and slower staging to work safely — and it's often the section where moss takes hold first since it's hardest to inspect from the ground. Tear-off and deck repair are added as separate line items rather than folded into the material price, so you can see exactly what is driving your number.

Questions
About this calculator
How accurate is this roof cost calculator?
It is built from pricing reconciled for the Tacoma/Pierce County area, so it is a reliable budgeting range rather than a quote. It will get you within the right band for a straightforward job. What it cannot see is your specific roof — deck condition, moss/algae-driven damage, the exact pitch, how many valleys and penetrations you have. Those are what move a job inside its range, and they are what the free on-site inspection is for.
Why does the calculator ask about tear-off separately?
Because it is a real cost most homeowners do not budget for. Tear-off adds $40–$100 per square and covers stripping the old roofing down to the deck, hauling it away, and inspecting what is underneath — often where moss-driven damage first shows up. Some bids leave it off to look cheaper — including it from the start avoids that surprise.
Does the estimate include deck or sheathing repair?
Only if you check that box. Most roofs do not need it, but where moss or age has caused deck damage, it typically runs $75–$150 per sheet. If you are not sure whether your roof needs it, leave that box unchecked — a free inspection will tell you for certain.
