Before you start, know that the calculator never sees your roof. It works out roof surface from your living space: it divides the home's size by the number of stories to get a footprint, multiplies by 1.12 for a walkable pitch or 1.30 for a steep one, then adds 10% for eaves and overhangs. That area is multiplied by a per-square-foot range for the material you pick.
Shingles are priced at $4.00 to $6.50 per square foot of roof, from standard architectural up to Class 4 impact-resistant. Metal runs $6.00 to $10.00, from exposed-fastener panels up to standing seam. Those ranges are set from the published rows below.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Ohio re-roof, average | about $6,831 (typical $5,222–$17,531) | This Old House, 2026 |
| Ohio asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4.56 | This Old House, 2026 |
| Dayton asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4–$6 | HomeBlue, 2024 |
| Ohio metal roofing, per sq ft | about $9.21 | This Old House, 2026 |
| Dayton metal roofing, per sq ft | about $6–$10 | HomeBlue, 2024 |
The range leaves out a few things that can raise the price: a second old layer that has to come off, rotten decking or rafter repair (which needs a building permit inside Dayton), and extras such as new gutters or skylights.
