What Is a Roofing Square?
A roofing square is equal to 100 square feet of roof surface. Because roofers price by the square, it helps to know roughly how many squares your roof is. For example:
- 20 squares = 2,000 square feet of roofing
- 30 squares = 3,000 square feet of roofing
- 40 squares = 4,000 square feet of roofing

Two roofs of the same size can price differently. These are the main variables our estimates account for during an inspection:
Roofing Materials We Install in North Alabama
The right roofing system depends on your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay. Here are the main options we install for homeowners in the Huntsville area.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice in North Alabama for good reason: they balance affordability, durability, and curb appeal. They stand up well to Alabama's mix of summer heat, humidity, and severe storms, and they come in a wide range of colors to match your home.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs last decades longer than shingles and handle high winds and heavy rain with ease — a real advantage during North Alabama's storm season. We install exposed-fastener (screw-down) panels, a cost-effective option often used on shops, barns, and porches, as well as standing seam systems, a premium concealed-fastener choice for residential homes.
Flat Roofing Systems
Low-slope and flat roofs need a membrane system rather than shingles. These are common on modern homes, additions, and commercial buildings around Huntsville, and they require specialized materials and installation to stay watertight over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing Costs
How much does a new roof cost in Huntsville, AL?
Most residential roof replacements in the Huntsville area start around $400–$550 per square for architectural asphalt shingles, which works out to roughly $8,000–$16,500 for a typical 20–30 square roof. Metal and flat roofing systems cost more per square. Your final price depends on the size, pitch, and complexity of your roof, which is why we recommend a free on-site inspection for an exact number.
How do I know how many squares my roof is?
One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface — not floor space. A 2,000 square foot roof is 20 squares. Because roofs have slope and overhangs, the roof area is usually larger than your home's footprint, so the most accurate way to measure is an on-site inspection.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event such as a storm, hail, or high wind, your homeowners policy may cover part or all of the replacement. Coverage varies by policy and by the age and condition of your roof. We can inspect for storm damage and help you understand your options before you file a claim.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs in the Huntsville area are replaced in one to three days, depending on the size, pitch, and complexity of the roof as well as the weather. We'll give you a clear timeline as part of your written quote.
Do you offer free roof inspections?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation roof inspections throughout Huntsville and North Alabama. We'll measure your roof, assess its condition, walk you through your options, and put clear pricing in writing.
