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 Indiana's cost factor of 1.02. Tear-off of an old roof adds about $2,057 to $3,086 for 2,000 sq ft (Inch Calculator's $100 to $150 a square, adjusted for Indiana pay). A steep roof adds $1,000 to $3,000 and a permit up to $500 (NerdWallet).
