- Worth noticing
- Its listed model uses $3.60 per foot for a two-story roofline and a $350 minimum service charge before regional adjustment.
Field notes
The model can use a measured perimeter or infer a roofline from square footage, with shape options and a stated 10% addition for gables and overhang. Users can separate a roofline into zones, though the free plan is limited to two. Its listed assumptions also cover regional multipliers, extras such as bushes and walkway stakes, takedown, and storage; the site identifies these as its own 2025–2026 US ranges rather than a contractor's price list.
