Summary: A roofing cost estimator or a roofing cost calculator will give you a current estimate of roofing costs for new homes or remodeling.

One of the most expensive costs of building a new home or remodeling an old home is the cost of roofing.Roofing cost is based on the cost of roofing materials, roof pitch, and labor.

Roofing is measured and estimated in squares. A square of roofing is the amount of roofing material required to cover 100 square feet (10 feet X 10 feet). That isn't as simple as it sounds when you have multiple roof pitches and dormers, unless you are a whiz in geometry.

I advise having either your supplier or your roofing contractor do this estimate. They wont be exact either, but may come a little closer than you will, though you might want to make your own calculations and see how they compare.

NOTE: At the bottom of the page you will find a roofing cost calculator.

With the roofing calculator you can estimate the cost of a new roof for a new home or the replacement roof cost for an older home. It gives you a rough estimate that you can use to compare with estimates from roofing contractors.

Understanding how roof pitch and shingle weight affect the cost of roofing is important.

Weight:

The cost of shingles or other roofing materials increases as their quality (weight) increases.

The cost of the labor to install shingles or other roofing materials also increases as their weight increases.

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

Con artists are using a clever combination of building permits and the good names of reputable companies to scam Middle Tennessee customers.

Well-known Nashville roofing company Mr. Roof says some of its customers are being targeted by the scammers, who look for homes where there's been recent construction. Then, they show up, claiming to do follow-up services for an additional fee.

Mr. Roof has spent 50 years building a reputation, so you can imagine how rough it is to find out someone is out there impersonating you.

"They are pulling building permits and finding out where we've installed roofs or other trades," said Jeff Kinney, with Mr. Roof. "Essentially, what they'll do is they will approach the client, knock on the front door, and say, 'Hey, we are from Mr. Roof. We'd like to do a visual inspection of your roof - just quality insurance.' In some cases, they're charging the clients just do the inspection. Then, if they say they've found something that's not been done correctly, they'll charge them to fix it correctly."

The company found out about the scam when a would-be victim called the company directly to double-check the house call. That homeowner wasn't out any money, but others haven't been so lucky.

"We're trying to scramble and figure out what these people are doing out there. We don't know what's going on. We don't know to the extent these people have told them. We don't know if they've taken money from them. So it's very disheartening these people have been out there trying to represent us and our reputation," Kinney said.

Kinney says other roofing companies are reporting the same type of scam. It's a terrible thing to do to people, especially elderly people, but it's also a difficult thing to stop.

"We'd love to catch them," Kinney said.

The Better Business Bureau advises that if someone claims to work for a company, check that out. They remind customers that:

Scam targets roofing companies' customers

Summary: We are upgrading our recommendation on Beacon Roofing from Underperform to Neutral, with a target price of $42.00. Fourth-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings of Beacon dropped 7% year over year to $0.56 per share, due to lower gross margins. The company will benefit from continued focus on acquisition and its strong balance sheet position. U.S. housing starts also jumped to the highest level in five years, in November. While, pricing pressure, general market softness and competitive market remain headwinds for top-line growth. Further, the Architecture Billings Index fell to 49.8 in November, from 51.6 a month earlier due to uncertainty in demand. Moreover, higher mix of non-residential roofing products and sales mix will negatively impact gross margins in the near term.

Overview:

Founded in 1928, Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (BECN) is one of the three largest roofing material distributors in the United States and Canada, with more than 90% of its sales coming from the U.S. Besides selling roofing materials asphalt shingles and single-ply roofing to both residential and non-residential markets, Beacon also deals in complementary building materials such as vinyl siding, doors, windows, insulation, and waterproofing systems.
