Roof area, not floor area: a one-story 2,200 sq ft house has about 2,707 sq ft of roof. Our calculation: national rates per sq ft from This Old House (Homewyse data, Oct 2026) times Arizona's cost factor of 0.92. Tear-off of an old roof adds about $1,741 to $2,611 for 2,000 sq ft (Inch Calculator's $100 to $150 a square, adjusted for Arizona pay). A steep roof adds $1,000 to $3,000 and a permit up to $500 (NerdWallet).
