Our full list of signs you need a new roof explains what each warning sign means and how serious it usually is.
What affects a roof replacement quote
Every roof is different, so pricing depends on the specific home. The biggest factors are:
- Roof size — measured in “squares” (one square = 100 sq. ft.)
- Material — asphalt shingles, metal, composite slate or shake
- Complexity — pitch, valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys
- Condition underneath — rotten decking or ventilation fixes found during tear-off
For typical ranges, see the St. Louis roof replacement cost guide.
Start with your roof size
The Roof Snapshot uses satellite building data to estimate your roof area and number of squares, checks NOAA storm reports near the address, and lets you choose the roof style and shingle color you are considering. It is a starting point for the conversation — final measurements are always verified on site by a roofing professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to three days depending on size and weather conditions. Replacing damaged decking found during tear-off can add time.
Does insurance pay for a new roof?
Insurance may cover part or all of a replacement when a covered event such as hail or wind caused the damage. Age-related wear is typically not covered. Coverage depends on your policy, and your insurance company makes the final decision.
Can I get a roof size estimate before anyone visits?
Yes. The free Roof Snapshot estimates roof area and squares from satellite building data when it is available for your address. A roofing professional still verifies measurements in person before a final quote.
