Estimate Your New Orleans Roof Cost
Capstone Roofing

Estimated roof replacement cost
Estimate for architectural asphalt shingles, including tear-off of one existing layer. Your exact price depends on roof layout, decking condition, ventilation and access. Insurance claims and affordable monthly options available.
How the Calculator Works
- Enter your home’s square footage. Use the heated living area from your appraisal, listing or county records.
- Choose 1 or 2 stories. For a 2-story home we divide by two to estimate the roof footprint.
- Pick your roof pitch. Steeper roofs have more surface area and take more labor and safety equipment, so they cost more.
- Pick your roof shape. Hip roofs and roofs with lots of valleys and angles need more cuts, so they take more material and labor.
- Get your range. You’ll see a typical installed price range for an architectural shingle roof on a home like yours.
The calculator gives a ballpark, not a quote. For an exact, written price, book a free roof inspection.

What Affects Your Price
Capstone Roofing
- Roof size: the total surface area of your roof, which is larger than your home’s footprint
- Pitch and complexity: steep slopes, dormers, valleys and multiple levels add labor and safety equipment
- Decking repairs: humidity and past leaks often mean some plywood must be replaced during tear-off, at an extra cost
- Wind resistance: high-wind nailing, sealed deck seams and upgraded starter and ridge products help a roof hold up in hurricane season
- Layers to remove: the estimate assumes one existing layer of shingles
- Ventilation and flashing: ridge vents, pipe boots, chimney and wall flashing
- Material: the calculator prices architectural shingles; metal roofing costs more up front but lasts much longer

Hurricane or Storm Damage? Insurance May Pay
If a hurricane, wind, hail or a fallen tree damaged your roof, homeowners insurance may cover most of the replacement, minus your deductible. Many Louisiana policies have a separate hurricane deductible, often a percentage of your home’s insured value, so check your policy. We document the damage and meet your adjuster.

It gives a realistic range for most homes with architectural shingles. Your exact price depends on roof layout, decking condition, ventilation and access, so we confirm it with a free inspection and written estimate.
It depends on the size, pitch and complexity of your roof, plus any wind-resistance upgrades. As an example, a 2,000 sq ft one-story home with an average pitch and a simple gable roof typically runs about $13,100 to $21,400 for architectural shingles, installed, including tear-off. Use the calculator above for a range based on your home, then get a free, exact estimate.
Two quotes can look similar and include very different work. Ask whether the price covers full tear-off, new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, ventilation, decking replacement, permits, cleanup and a workmanship warranty, and whether the contractor is licensed and insured. A low price often means corners cut in places you cannot see. Our written estimate itemizes everything, and Capstone Roofing is GAF Certified and licensed in Louisiana (Roofing License #79584), with a local office in Metairie.
If someone can walk on the roof comfortably, it is usually an average pitch (around 4/12 to 6/12). If the roof looks tall and steep from the street and is hard to walk on, choose steep (around 8/12 to 12/12).
Choose simple if your roof is mostly two slopes meeting at one ridge, like a basic gable. Choose hip if the roof slopes down on all four sides. Choose complex if it has several ridges, valleys, dormers or angles. Not sure? Pick the closest match and we will measure it exactly during your free inspection.
If the damage came from a sudden event like a hurricane, wind, hail or a fallen tree, your policy may cover replacement minus your deductible (many Louisiana policies have a separate hurricane deductible). Damage from age and wear usually is not covered. We help you through the claim.
Yes. We offer affordable monthly options. Ask about them when you schedule your free estimate.
