What's Your Home's Footprint?
Square footage affects a number of cost factors including the amount of materials used, labor, time, and more. You can use your home's square footage, but it will not be the same as your roof's. Refer to the video HERE to learn how to measure your home's footprint for a more accurate estimate.
Here is your new roof's estimated cost. Remember, this is not the final cost. Your Roofing Advisor will provide an exact estimate after your free roof replacement inspection.

2026 Cost by Material
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles: $3.68 to $5.50 per sq ft installed. This is the most affordable option.
Architectural Shingles GAF HDZ: $5.75 to $8.25 per sq ft installed. This is the most popular choice in Middle Tennessee.

Why So Many People Are Choosing Class 4 Shingles in 2026
Class 4 shingle installs jumped 12 percent in Middle Tennessee this year. The reason is insurance. Williamson and Maury County insurers are giving big discounts for hail-resistant roofs. For many homeowners the savings pay off the upgrade in 3 to 5 years. Ask your Roofing Advisor if Class 4 makes sense for you.
What Affects Your Roof Cost
Home size is the biggest factor. The state average roof is 2,962 square feet. Franklin homes average 3,260 square feet. Every extra square foot adds cost. The Roofing Calculator above handles this for you.
Roof style matters too. A simple one-story ranch costs much less than a two-story home with valleys and skylights. That is why we use Simple, Standard, and Complex in the calculator.
Steep roofs cost more. Any roof above 8/12 pitch needs extra safety gear and more labor time. Most Middle Tennessee homes sit between 6/12 and 9/12 pitch.
Tear-off is included. All our packages include one layer of tear-off and disposal. A second layer costs extra.
Decking damage adds cost. Damaged wood under your shingles costs $2 to $5 per square foot to fix. A free inspection catches this early. Learn more about our roof inspection process on our commercial roof inspection page.
Middle Tennessee Weather and Your Roof
Middle Tennessee gets 50 inches of rain per year. Summers are hot with heavy UV exposure. Spring brings hail, high winds, and tornadoes. This area sits in Dixie Alley. Storm damage is the top reason for roof replacements here every spring. Picking the right material for this climate is not just about price. It is about how long it holds up.
Roofing Area Calculator
Roofing Material Calculator
The calculated area is only an estimation. In cases where a roof has a complex shape, such as in the image to the right, measuring the dimensions and areas of each part of the roof to calculate the total area will result in a more accurate measurement of area. The calculator cannot account for complex shapes based on a measurement of square footage alone. The Area Calculator can be used to calculate the area of a variety of simple shapes that together can comprise the area of the roof. Using the aggregate area of these simple shapes can yield a more accurate roof area to be used with the Roofing Material Calculator.
The most common roofing materials used in the United States include shingles, membrane roofing, and ceramic tile, all of which have different life spans. Shingle roofs typically have a life span of 15-30 years, while membrane roofs usually last 5-15 years. Although ceramic tile roofs are expensive, they can have a life span of over 100 years.

Roof Pitch
Roof pitch is the measurement of a roof's vertical rise divided by its horizontal run. It is often compared to slope, but is not exactly the same. In the United States, a run of 12 inches (1 foot) is used, and pitch is measured as the rise of the roof over 12 inches. For instance, a 7/12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 7 inches for every 12 horizontal inches. Outside of the U.S., a degree angle is typically used.
Roof pitch is a determining factor for the cost of the roof, as well as the roof area, and the type of materials used. It affects walkability as well as drainage, and roofs in areas of high rain or snowfall tend to have steeper pitches.
Roof pitch affects the actual area of the roof. Depending on whether the roof area is measured horizontally (possibly from a drawing or photograph), a correction factor is necessary to determine the actual area of the roof. Given pitch and a horizontal area measurement, multiply the horizontal area by a correction factor corresponding to pitch, provided in the table below, to determine the actual area of the roof to be used in the Roofing Material Calculator. While it is possible to estimate the amount of necessary materials using only the total roof area measurement, as can be seen from the table, depending on how large the pitch of the roof, the actual area of the roof can differ by up to 2.236 from the measured total area at a pitch of 24/12. As such, while it can be cumbersome, measuring the area and pitch of each part of the roof and multiplying by the corresponding correction factor will result in the most accurate estimate of necessary roofing materials.
