Enter your home size, roof pitch and material and get a real installed price range for a new roof in Southwest Florida — plus whether you should re-roof before adding solar.

1Your home

This is your home's floor size — not the roof. We add pitch to get true roof area.

2Your roof

Steeper roofs need more material and labor, so they cost more.
Asphalt is the budget pick; metal and tile cost more but last longer and can lower insurance in Florida.

How we estimate your roof cost

Your roof is bigger than your house. We start with your ground-floor footprint, then add a pitch factor for how steep the roof is (a low slope adds about 10%, a steep slope up to 45%) to get real roof area. We multiply that by an installed price per square foot for your material — asphalt shingle ($4.50–$7.50), metal ($9–$15), or tile ($10–$18) — and add a little for a two-story home, where crews work higher and slower. The result is a fair range, not a lowball teaser. Your firm number depends on tear-off layers, wood decking condition, permits and gutters, which we confirm with an on-site measure.

How much does a new roof cost in Florida?
For a typical Southwest Florida home (around 2,000 sq ft of living space), an asphalt shingle re-roof usually runs about $11,000–$19,000 installed. Metal roofs run roughly $22,000–$40,000 and tile $25,000–$45,000, depending on roof size, pitch and tear-off. Steeper roofs and two-story homes cost more because of the added material and labor. Use the calculator above to price your exact home.
Should I replace my roof before installing solar?
If your roof is 15 years or older, yes — replace it first. Solar panels last 25+ years, so you don't want to remove and reinstall a whole array a few years in just to re-roof underneath. That removal-and-reset alone runs about $4,500–$8,750. Since Higher Power Solar & Roofing does both roofing and solar, we can re-roof and go solar in one coordinated project so you only pay for the panels once.
Is metal or tile worth it over asphalt shingles in Florida?
They cost more up front but last far longer and stand up better to Florida hurricanes and sun. A quality metal roof can last 40–70 years and a tile roof 50+ years, versus roughly 15–25 for asphalt. Both can also earn wind-mitigation insurance credits. Tile is the heaviest and priciest; metal is often the best balance of durability and cost for SW Florida.
Does a new roof lower my homeowners insurance?
Often, yes. Many Florida carriers won't even write or renew a policy on a roof over about 15 years old, and a new roof with proper hurricane strapping and a wind-mitigation inspection can earn premium credits. A newer, wind-rated roof is one of the biggest levers you have on your Florida insurance bill. See our roofing options →
