You'll pick your home's living area, its number of stories, how steep the roof is and the material you want. From those answers it works out a footprint (living area split across the floors), raises it 12% for a walkable pitch or 30% for a steep one, and adds 10% more for the overhang at the eaves. That roof area is multiplied by a low and a high price per square foot.
The rates come from three rows on our cost guide. Asphalt shingles, Colorado average (This Old House, 2026) and Asphalt shingles, Fort Collins (HomeBlue, 2024) set the shingle range of $4.68 to $7.00. Metal roofing, Colorado average (This Old House and RoofObservations, 2026) sets the metal range of $9.43 to $14.45. The top of the shingle range covers the extra cost of Class 4 shingles, which the City requires when 50% or more of a roof is replaced.
