Before you start. The calculator takes the middle of your home-size band, divides it by the number of stories to get the footprint, then multiplies by a slope factor (1.12 for a walkable pitch, 1.30 for a steep one) and by 1.10 for overhangs. That gives an estimated roof surface in square feet, which is then priced with the per-square-foot rows below.
The rows below are statewide 2026 averages; no source published a Memphis-only figure. Shingles are priced from 3-tab to premium, and metal from exposed-fastener panels up to about $13.95 for aluminum standing seam. The tool covers pitched shingle or metal roofs only. Slate, tile and flat roofs need a roofer's own quote.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Tennessee 3-tab shingles, per sq ft | about $4.60 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee architectural shingles, per sq ft | about $5.05 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee premium shingles, per sq ft | about $6.25 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee exposed-fastener metal, per sq ft | about $6.75 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Tennessee standing-seam metal, per sq ft | about $10.45 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
Real bids can run higher on steep, cut-up roofs, when extra old layers come off, or when soft decking turns up.
