What this report covers
- How big your roof is, in square feet and in the squares roofers price by
- Its shape, steepness and how cut up it is, in plain words
- What a replacement typically costs here, as ranges for three materials
- Its age evidence and storm records near the address
- How much of it faces the sun, and what to ask a roofer
Replacement costs
What a replacement typically costs here
4100 Example Ridge Drive, Plano, TX 75024
Installed replacement ranges · effective Sep 1, 2026
| Material | Typical installed range | Typical life |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $26,900 – $38,200 | 20–30 years |
| Class 4 impact-resistant shingle | $31,500 – $45,800 | 25–30 years |
| Standing-seam metal | $68,000 – $99,100 | 40–70 years |
Each end is rounded once to the nearest $100. Ratings and lives are typical for the material, not verified for a product.
What drives your price
- Steepness: moderately steep (7/12). Steeper roofs take longer to work safely; this market adds about 8% per square.
- Height: two stories; $20 per square is added for ladders, staging and fall protection.
- Shape: complex (68 of 100 points), about 10% above a plain roof.
- Old layers: one layer comes off, already inside the price per square.
- Decking: up to two sheets are included; the high end carries $600 for more.
What each range covers
Each range covers tearing off one layer, new underlayment, ice-and-water membrane where required, drip edge, ridge and hip cap, pipe boots, up to two sheets of decking, clean-up and the permit. It leaves out gutters, skylights, solar panel removal, structural or chimney repairs and code upgrades found once the deck is open.

Roofing permits
| Issued | Work | Recorded by |

Storms reported near the address
| Date | Event | Reported | Distance | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 19, 2025 | Hail | 1.25 in hail | 2.4 mi | Sample storm record (invented) |
| May 28, 2024 | Wind | 62 mph gust | 3.1 mi | Sample storm record (invented) |
| Mar 22, 2022 | Hail | 1.00 in hail | 4.6 mi | Sample storm record (invented) |
A storm near your address is not a finding about your roof; only an inspection can show damage.
A missing permit is not proof that a roof was never replaced: not every re-roof is permitted or published.
Solar readiness

Shade from trees and neighbouring buildings is not assessed.
Next steps
Next steps and questions to ask a roofer
4100 Example Ridge Drive, Plano, TX 75024
Questions to ask every roofer
- Is this an insurance claim or an out-of-pocket replacement, and how does that change your scope?
- How many layers will you tear off, and what happens if you find damaged decking?
- Which product are you quoting, and what are the manufacturer and workmanship warranties?
- What is included: underlayment, ice-and-water membrane, flashing, vents, disposal and the permit?
- Will you measure the roof yourself, and does your number match this report’s size?
What a roofer should check on site
- How many layers of roofing are on the house, and the state of the decking underneath.
- Flashing around the chimney and skylights, and where lower roofs meet walls.
- Vents, pipe boots and attic ventilation.
- Gutters, fascia and soffit, which a roof replacement usually leaves out.
Getting quotes
- Get at least two written quotes that list the same scope, so the prices compare fairly.
- Give each roofer this report; the size and shape save a trip onto the roof for a first number.
- Ask for the permit and for photos of the decking once the old roof is off.
This document lists no roofers: a printed list would still imply availability, insurance and ratings long after its date (PDF-05).

How this report was made
The roof was modelled from overhead imagery into planes, and every size and slope here is computed from that model. Nothing was inspected on site, and no accuracy or certification is claimed.
What this report cannot tell you
- Every figure in this sample comes from an invented house built to exercise the report; it is not a surveyed property.
- Measurements come from above: wall heights, decking condition and the number of layers are not visible from the air.
- No accuracy or certification is claimed; a roofer confirms quantities on site before ordering.
This is the homeowner report. The plane-by-plane table, the line-length totals, the material takeoff and the measurement wireframe belong to the contractor report and are not part of this document (05 §3.1).
