Methodology & Caveats
These are planning-grade ranges, deliberately conservative: material, labor, and disposal are priced per ft² of true roof area (flat area × pitch multiplier), then adjusted by a regional cost index. The range applies ±10% on materials and ±15% on labor around the regional midpoint.
Regional index: Iowa (labor ×0.89, material ×0.96, disposal ×0.93). Source: planning-grade v1 (public cost indexes + BLS wage patterns).
Your actual roof's size, pitch, and complexity move the number more than any table can. Measure it free with the estimator. A final price always requires an on-site inspection.
