  • ImproveNet.com provides a cost calculator where you can plug in details and get rough estimates for a particular project. For a one-story house with a gable roof and a moderate slope in Northern California, the calculator predicted $4,631-$5,789 for 20-year asphalt shingles and $20,008-$25,010 for deluxe Spanish clay tiles.
  • For a 500-square-foot (20x25) rooftop, removing the existing roofing to bare wood sheathing, properly disposing of the waste and installing mid-range, 25-year-warranty fiberglass asphalt shingles averages $11,209-$17,060; the same house runs $19,759-$28,884 for metal roofing, according to an annual construction cost survey by RemodelingOnline. The website lists estimates for nine regions nationwide, and sells price details for 60 cities. These are averages; actual costs may be higher or lower.
