Kefiw Property Improve
Honest home-improvement cost calculators reviewed by a working Texas-licensed general contractor. Range-based estimates, transparent methodology, no fake precision — built so a homeowner can sanity-check a roofer's bid.
Cost calculators
12 inputs → low/typical/high range, $/sqft, material/labor split, financing, and questions to ask each roofer.
3-tab vs architectural vs designer asphalt — cost difference on the same roof.
Standing seam vs exposed-fastener corrugated. Lifecycle math vs asphalt.
Estimated resale uplift by sale horizon and market condition.
Insurance & claims
Flat or % deductible, RCV / ACV path, depreciation hold-back, code upgrades — what you actually pay.
Depreciation gap on your specific roof. The most important line on your declarations page.
Will the claim approve full-scope, partial, or get denied? What adjusters look for.
Patch the damage or replace the whole roof? Weighs age, damage, leaks, sale horizon, insurance.
Measurement & materials
Roof surface area from home sqft + pitch, footprint + pitch, or direct ridge × eave.
Rise:run ↔ degrees ↔ slope %. Area multiplier and walkability category.
Field, ridge cap, and starter strip — the three counts that get under-ordered.
How estimates are calculated, what's included and excluded.
Spec helpers
Synthetic vs 15# / 30# felt — rolls and cost.
Eaves + valleys + low-slope + penetrations coverage.
Eave + rake linear feet, 10-foot piece count, cost.
Required NFA, ridge / soffit / box-vent quantities.
Sheets + cost (OSB or plywood) by replacement %.
By city
Hail belt, hurricane-edge, heat-aged shingles. $11K–$22K typical.

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.
