Roof Cost Calculator for Denton, TX
This calculator gives Denton, TX homeowners a rough budget for a new shingle or metal roof. Answer four short questions about the house, and it estimates the roof's surface area and applies 2026 Texas installed prices. It works the same way for any pitched roof in Denton County.
What to Enter
Before you start, have a rough idea of the home's heated floor area, how many stories it has and whether a person could stand on the roof without ropes. The tool covers pitched roofs with shingles or metal. It skips slate, tile and flat roofs; each of those needs a roofer to price it in person.
The method is simple. Floor area divided by the number of stories gives the footprint. That footprint is multiplied by 1.12 for a walkable pitch or 1.30 for a steep one, then by 1.10 for overhangs, to estimate the roof's surface. The result is multiplied by a low and a high rate per square foot, and both ends are rounded to the nearest $100.
The rates come from four of the site's cost rows. Shingles run from the 3-tab row to the premium row; metal runs from the low end of exposed-fastener panels to the high end of steel standing seam.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Texas 3-tab shingles, per sq ft | about $4.35 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Texas premium shingles, per sq ft | about $5.95 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Texas exposed-fastener metal, per sq ft | about $6.45 to $8.05 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Texas standing-seam metal, per sq ft | about $9.95 to $12.40 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
Here is how one answer set plays out: a one-story home in the 2,000 to 2,500 band is counted as 2,250 sq ft, and a walkable pitch gives about 2,770 sq ft of roof, for a shingle range of roughly $12,000 to $16,500.
