Roof Tear-Off FAQs
What affects roof tear-off cost the most?
Layers to remove, roof pitch/steepness, stories, access difficulty, regional labor rates, and dump fees have the largest impact.
Is this tool a formal bid?
No. It’s a planning estimator. Always confirm costs with licensed local contractors.
Do dump fees vary by shingle type?
Yes. Architectural and wood shake are typically heavier per square than 3-tab, which raises dump fees.
Why is steepness important?
Steep slopes require more safety setup and slow removal, increasing labor per square.
Does the estimate include new installation?
No. This calculator estimates tear-off only. Underlayment, shingles, flashing, vents, and installation are separate.
