Working out your own roof area
- Take the footprint of the house in square feet - length times width, plus any wings.
- Multiply by a pitch factor: about 1.05 for a shallow roof, 1.12 for a common 6:12, 1.25 for a steep 10:12.
- Divide by 100. That is your number of squares.
- Multiply by the rate above. A 1,600 square foot footprint on a 6:12 pitch is about 18 squares, so roughly $8,100-13,500.
- Add for complexity - valleys, dormers, multiple planes all add labour that a simple gable roof does not have.
If a quote is far above that arithmetic, the reason is usually complexity, decking, or a second layer of tear-off. All three are legitimate; ask which it is.
If a quote is far below it, ask what is excluded. The usual answers are tear-off, decking, flashing or disposal.
The insurance path, in order
- Read your declarations page. Find whether the roof is RCV or ACV, and what the wind/hail deductible actually is in dollars.
- Get an independent written assessment of the damage from a local roofer before you call the insurer, so you know what you are talking about.
- Compare the estimate to your real deductible. If it is close, filing may not be worth it.
- If you file, document everything with dated photographs and keep every piece of correspondence.
- If the settlement seems far below the cost of the work, a licensed public adjuster is an option - they take a percentage, and in Ohio they are licensed and checkable. We are not adjusters and we do not act for you in a claim.
