Property Improve

Honest home-improvement cost calculators reviewed by a working Texas-licensed general contractor — range-based estimates, transparent methodology, built so a homeowner can sanity-check a roofer's bid.

Cost calculators

Roof Replacement Cost Calculator Low/typical/high range, $/sqft, material/labor split, and questions to ask each roofer. Asphalt Shingle Cost Calculator 3-tab vs architectural vs designer asphalt — cost difference on the same roof. Metal Roof Cost Calculator Standing seam vs exposed-fastener corrugated. Lifecycle math vs asphalt. New Roof ROI Calculator Estimated resale uplift by sale horizon and market condition.

Insurance & claims

Roof Insurance Deductible Calculator Flat or % deductible, RCV / ACV path, depreciation hold-back — what you actually pay. ACV vs RCV Calculator Depreciation gap on your specific roof — the most important line on your declarations page. Hail Damage Severity Estimator Will the claim approve full-scope, partial, or get denied? What adjusters look for. Roof Repair vs Replacement Patch or replace? Weighs age, damage, leaks, sale horizon, insurance.

Measurement & materials

Roof Square Footage Calculator Roof surface area from home sqft + pitch, footprint + pitch, or direct ridge × eave. Roof Pitch Calculator Rise:run ↔ degrees ↔ slope %. Area multiplier and walkability category. Shingle Bundle Calculator Field, ridge cap, and starter strip — the three counts that get under-ordered. Methodology How estimates are calculated, what's included and excluded.

Spec helpers

Underlayment Calculator Synthetic vs 15# / 30# felt — rolls and cost. Ice & Water Shield Calculator Eaves + valleys + low-slope + penetrations coverage. Drip Edge Calculator Eave + rake linear feet, 10-foot piece count, cost. Attic Ventilation Calculator Required NFA, ridge / soffit / box-vent quantities. Decking Replacement Calculator Sheets + cost (OSB or plywood) by replacement %.

By city

Houston Hail belt, hurricane-edge, heat-aged shingles. $11K–$22K typical. Dallas / DFW Worst hail belt in the US — Class 4 default, percentage deductibles standard. Austin UV-driven aging, Hill Country terrain, WUI fire considerations. San Antonio Lower labor rates, historic district overlays, tile prevalence. Atlanta Steep-pitch Colonials, humidity-driven decking issues, algae-resistant shingle defaults.

More about Property Improve

Why this differs from generic cost calculators

Reviewed by a working contractor, not aggregated AI rewrites. Eurocraft is a Texas-licensed general contractor with hands-on insurance-claim experience.
Range-based outputs. A bid in a single dollar number is wrong by definition. Our typical range is where a properly-scoped quote usually lands.
Decking surprise is modeled. Most calculators ignore the rotted decking that's only found after tear-off — we surface it as a risk-weighted line.
No lead-gen forms, no contractor matching, no tracked phone numbers. Just the calculator and the math.
