Roof Cost Calculator for Florence, SC
Answer four quick questions about your house, and this calculator turns them into a rough price range for a new shingle or metal roof in Florence, SC or elsewhere in Florence County. It runs on 2026 South Carolina installed rates, so use the number to shape a budget, then get a real price from a roofer.
How the Tool Decides
The calculator never measures your roof; it estimates one. First, your heated floor area is split by the story count to estimate the footprint. Then it multiplies that footprint by a slope factor, 1.12 for a walkable roof or 1.30 for a steep one, and by 1.10 for the overhang at the eaves and gable ends. The roof area is rounded to the nearest 10 sq ft and priced at a low and a high rate.
Before you start: the rates come from the price table in the roof replacement cost guide. Shingles run from the "South Carolina 3-tab shingles, per sq ft" row ($4.70) to the "South Carolina premium shingles, per sq ft" row ($6.40). Metal runs from the "South Carolina exposed-fastener metal, per sq ft" row ($6.90) to the low end of the "South Carolina standing-seam metal, per sq ft" row ($10.65). The tool is for pitched roofs only: slate, tile and flat roofs need a roofer's own quote.
What the range leaves out matters too. It can't see rotten decking, a second old layer to strip, a chimney that needs new flashing or an overlay-district review in downtown Florence, SC. Any of those can lift the real price above the high end.
