Quick answer

Typical U.S. prices, at a glance:

Pick a topic

Each topic has a cost guide, a calculator and a guide to fixing or replacing. Pick the one that fits your problem.

Got a pipe, window or floor job? The pipe, window and floor guides price them by the foot, by the window and by the square foot. Typical jobs: pipes about $1,246[5], a window project about $7,348[6], and a new floor about $3,153[7].

Roof guides

Shingles or metal? The big picture

Metal costs more up front. But it lasts longer: about 40 to 80 years[10]. Thick shingles last about 30 years[10].

So which is cheaper? It depends on how long you will stay. See roof cost by material to compare them side by side.

Why you can trust our numbers

Every number has a source

Each number links to where it came from. It also shows the date we checked it.

We show what's missing

Some costs have no public price. We say so. We never fill the gap with a guess.

The math is on the page

Each guide shows its math, line by line. We never show made-up experts. See how we check.

No pop-ups

No pop-ups. No email walls. No phone number needed. No ads, either.

What roofers earn

The crew is a big part of the bill. The middle roofer in the U.S. earned $26.65/hr[8] in May 2025[8]. See what roofers earn in your state on our state map.

Coming next

Furnaces and heat pumps, siding, gutters and foundations are next. Then kitchens and baths.
