How these estimates work
Estimates start from published United States installed-price ranges, which describe the Southeast US. Labour is about 60% of a re-roof, so each state's range is multiplied by 0.4 + 0.6 × (local median roofer wage ÷ the average for the Southeast US (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee)). Totals are rounded to the nearest 100. Prices are USD. They are estimates for budgeting, not quotes: tear-off layers, decking repairs, access, permits and roof complexity can move a real quote well outside the range.
