Roof Repair Cost Formula

Repair Cost = (Roof Size × Material Cost per sq.ft.) + (Labor Hours × Labor Rate) + Extra Damage Costs
Example:
For a 1,000 sq.ft. asphalt roof with moderate damage: Material = $3 × 1000 = $3,000 Labor = 20 hrs × $50/hr = $1,000 Extra Damage = $500 Total = $4,500

Roof repair cost depends on roof size, type of material, damage severity, and local labor rates. The formula provides a structured way to calculate approximate repair costs before requesting quotes.
