You don't need a tape measure. The calculator starts from your home's living space, divides it by the number of stories to estimate the footprint, then adds about 10% for overhangs. A walkable roof adds 12% for pitch and a steep roof adds 30%. That gives the roof surface, which is what roofers price.
The cost per square foot comes from the rows on our cost guide. Architectural shingles use the Asphalt shingles, Alabama range row ($4.60–$6.25, RoofObservations 2026). Metal runs from the Metal, Huntsville low of $6.00 (HomeBlue, 2024, dated) to the Standing-seam metal, Alabama figure of $10.45 (RoofObservations 2026).
For context, This Old House puts the 2026 average for an Alabama roof replacement at about $8,114. Larger homes and steeper roofs often land above that.
After the Result
A range is a starting point. The next step is a roofer on your roof, measuring it properly and checking the decking underneath. We connect you with a local roofer licensed by the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board (HBLB), who gives you a free inspection and a written, itemized estimate.
The estimate should include the permit. Huntsville requires a building permit for most work over $250, and re-roofing isn't on the exempt list. Your roofer pulls it through the Inspection Department (256-427-5331). If you're weighing a repair instead, try the repair-or-replace quiz.
