The material + labor + overhead + margin math that keeps roofing jobs profitable in 2026 — with square-price benchmarks and a downloadable quote checklist.
Most roofing quotes are guessed. The 5 line items in every roof price are materials, tear-off and disposal, install labor, overhead, and margin. 2026 per-square benchmarks for a 30-year architectural asphalt shingle roof: materials $210-310, tear-off $60-100, install labor style="max-width:780px;margin:0 auto;padding:48px 24px;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif;line-height:1.55;color:#0f172a"80-260, overhead 15-25% of direct, margin 20-35%. All-in per-square retail is roughly $550-750 in most US markets. Four upcharges most people forget: pitch above 6/12 (add 15-50%), chimney flashing rebuild ($250-500), rotten deck replacement ($75-100 per sheet, priced after tear-off), third-story or complex access.
