A roofing contractor uses several variables to determine the price for a new roof. Roof pricing includes size, pitch and accessibility. Also, labor costs and the cost of materials. This is why pricing ranges can vary greatly. The most important factor is how large the roof is. As roofers charge per square, this is the price they will charge. A square of roofing is 10x10-foot. A roof of 3,000 square foot is divided into 30 sections. The average U.S. home is 1,700 sq. feet.
