Web Offers Estimate on Cost of New Roof

Replacing a roof is a big-ticket maintenance project, but with a roofing estimator tool from Improvenet.com (https://www.improvenet.com), you can learn how much to expect to pay before calling for bids.

To get a rough estimate, plug in the square footage of your home’s ground floor, the garage size, the roof type, its pitch, roofing material and what ZIP Code you live in, then let the calculator do the work.

On the next page, you can add in whether you want the contractor to remove and replace the roof’s sheathing and install different roofing materials, for example. This may change your estimate up or down.
