Instant Roof Material Estimator
Tell us about your roof
No roofing experience needed — we explain every question. All measurements can be taken from the ground.
Click Auto-Measure and we’ll pull your actual roof size and steepness from Google’s aerial imagery — no ladder, no tape measure. You can still adjust anything below. Or skip it and type your measurements in yourself.
Satellite view of your address. Use it to count roof sections, valleys, and pipes.
Easiest way to tell: enter your address above and click View My Roof — in the satellite photo, a gable roof shows one straight ridge line from end to end, while a hip roof shows ridge lines angling out to every corner of the house. (From the street: a flat triangle-shaped wall under the peak = gable.)
The long side of your home. Pace it off — an average adult step is about 2.5 ft.
The short side — from one gutter edge across to the other.
Pitch is how many inches the roof rises for every 12 inches it runs. Most Central Texas homes are 4/12 to 6/12. When in doubt, pick 5/12 — it changes the estimate only slightly.
How far the roof sticks out past the walls (look up at your gutters).
A valley is the inside “V” crease where two roof sections meet. Count them in the satellite view — L-shaped homes usually have 2.
Plumbing pipes and vent stacks each need a rubber sealing boot.
Extra peel-and-stick waterproofing in leak-prone spots.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Roof in Austin, TX?
For a typical 2,000 square foot Central Texas home, roofing materials from 360 Metal Roofing Supply generally run:
- Standing seam metal roof (1.5″ Snap Lock, 24-gauge Kynar): roughly $2.50 to $3.50 per square foot of roof in materials, or about $5,500 to $8,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home including panels, hidden clips, screws, synthetic underlayment, and all trim.
- Architectural shingles (IKO Dynasty): roughly $1.30 to $1.70 per square foot in materials, or about $2,800 to $3,700 for the same home.
Installation labor is separate and varies by roof steepness, height, and complexity — most Austin-area installers charge as much for labor as for materials, sometimes more. The calculator above gives you an instant, itemized materials estimate for your actual roof: type your address and we measure it from aerial imagery, or enter your home dimensions yourself. These are ballpark budgeting numbers; your installer will take exact measurements before final pricing.
Metal Roof vs. Shingles: Which Costs Less in the Long Run?
| Standing Seam Metal | Architectural Shingles | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected lifespan | 40 to 60 years | 15 to 25 years |
| Material cost per sq ft | $2.50 to $3.50 | $1.30 to $1.70 |
| Texas hail performance | Excellent — 24g steel resists puncture | Granule loss, frequent insurance claims |
| Summer cooling | Reflective Kynar finish can lower attic temps | Absorbs heat |
| Roofs needed over 50 years | 1 | 2 to 3 |
Shingles win on day-one price. Metal usually wins on cost per year of roof life — one standing seam roof typically outlasts two to three shingle roofs, which is why so many Central Texas homeowners switch to metal after their second hail claim. Use the two tabs in the calculator above to compare both on your exact house.
What Makes Your Roof Cost More or Less?
Five things move the number most: roof size (bigger footprint means more of everything), pitch (a steep 8/12 roof has real surface area far larger than its footprint), shape (hip roofs and valleys add cutting waste and trim), color tier (standard colors cost less per foot than weathered or metallic finishes), and penetrations (every pipe, vent, skylight, and chimney needs flashing or a sealing boot).
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a 2,000 sq ft roof?
In materials from our Austin warehouse: roughly $5,500 to $8,000 for standing seam metal or $2,800 to $3,700 for architectural shingles. Installation labor is additional and quoted by your installer. Use the free calculator above for an itemized estimate on your actual roof.
Can I estimate my roof cost without climbing on the roof?
Yes. Enter your address in the calculator above and click Auto-Measure — we pull your roof’s measured size and steepness from aerial imagery. Every question can also be answered from the ground.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost in Texas?
Usually, yes. A 24-gauge standing seam roof lasts 40 to 60 years, stands up to Central Texas hail far better than shingles, and its reflective finish can reduce cooling costs. Most homeowners replace shingles two or three times in the life of one metal roof.
