The neighbor’s roofing truck arrives, a new stain appears upstairs, or an old repair starts leaking again. Suddenly, roof replacement cost becomes a household question. Before comparing prices, you need a clearer picture of what you own: the installation date, the roofing material, and what has changed since the last repair.

Your roof’s age is a useful starting point for that conversation. Choose the closest age range below to find your Roof Age Snapshot, then use the cost and quote guide that follows. The snapshot suggests questions to ask; it cannot inspect your home or determine how many years your roof has left.
