Wait, You Might Not Need a New Roof

Before you spend $10,000–$30,000 on a new roof, it’s worth asking: do you actually need one?

Many homeowners assume replacement is their only option, but if you have an asphalt shingle roof, there’s a good chance Roof Maxx can extend its life by up to 15 years for 80% less than a new roof. This calculator shows you both numbers: what a full replacement would cost and what a Roof Maxx treatment could save you.

 

 

These are ballpark estimates based on your home’s size, location, roof type, and slope. For a precise assessment of your roof’s condition and an exact quote, get a free evaluation from your closest Roof Maxx dealer.

Replacing your roof is a big investment, but the exact costs can vary widely depending on specific factors. To help you plan, our free cost calculator provides a ballpark estimate of what you might expect to pay based on general pricing information. While the estimate you get here isn’t an official quote, it can be a helpful reference point as you explore your options.

 

If you have an asphalt shingle roof, the calculator also shows how much you could save by choosing a Roof Maxx treatment instead of a full replacement. Roof Maxx rejuvenates asphalt shingles, extending their lifespan by up to 15 years—all while costing up to 80% less than a traditional roof replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Replacement Costs & Roof Maxx Savings

How do regional differences affect roof replacement costs?

Roof replacement costs can vary significantly by region due to differences in labor rates, material availability, and local building codes. For example:

  • Urban areas often have higher labor costs than rural locations.
  • Regions with extreme weather (like hurricanes or heavy snow) may require additional reinforcements or specialized materials, which can increase the total cost.
  • Local permits or inspection fees may also add to the overall price.

When using this calculator, keep in mind that the estimates are based on general averages and may not reflect your specific area.

Shingle disposal fees can increase the total cost of a roof replacement. Removing and disposing of old shingles typically costs $1 – $5 per square foot, depending on:

  • The condition and weight of the shingles.
  • Local landfill fees.
  • Whether additional layers of roofing need to be removed.

Roof Maxx avoids these disposal costs entirely since it rejuvenates your existing shingles instead of replacing them.

Insurance may cover some or all of the costs for roof replacement if the damage is due to events like storms, hail, or falling debris. However:

  • Policies vary: Some cover only a portion of the replacement cost, depending on your roof’s age.
  • Deductibles apply: You’ll still need to pay your deductible out of pocket.
  • Exclusions exist: Wear and tear or lack of maintenance usually aren’t covered.

Whether Roof Maxx is covered by insurance varies according to different providers and policies—but it can help you keep your homeowner’s insurance if you have an older roof and potentially reduce long-term repair or replacement costs by keeping your roof in better condition.

Replacing the underlayment beneath your shingles can add an average of $1 – $3 per square foot to your total cost. If your roof’s underlayment is in good condition, you may not need to replace it, which can save money.

 

Roof Maxx doesn’t involve removing shingles or underlayment, which makes it even more cost-effective than replacing your roof.

If your roof has multiple layers of shingles, the removal costs will likely increase. Each additional layer typically costs $1 – $2 per square foot to remove. Roof Maxx, however, can rejuvenate roofs with multiple layers as long as they’re in good condition, helping you avoid extra removal fees.

The pitch of your roof impacts labor costs and material needs:

  • Low slopes (up to 4/12 pitch): Easier to work on, with lower labor costs.
  • Medium slopes (5/12 to 8/12 pitch): Slightly higher costs due to increased difficulty.
  • High slopes (9/12 pitch or steeper): Significantly more expensive, as they require additional safety equipment and time.

The calculator applies a multiplier for roof pitch to account for these differences.

Roof Maxx rejuvenates your existing shingles, extending their lifespan by up to 15 years without the need for a costly replacement. It also eliminates:

  • Shingle removal and disposal costs.
  • Underlayment replacement costs.
  • Increased labor costs for steep roofs.

With Roof Maxx, you can save up to 80% compared to replacing your roof. Learn more about what Roof Maxx costs.
