Questions about Colorado roof cost
How were the roof sizes for Colorado measured?
We used Microsoft's building footprint data, built from satellite and aerial pictures. It draws an outline around every building it can see and measures the area inside. We took every building inside each of the 5 city areas, found the median footprint, and multiplied by 1.083 for a 4/12 pitch to get roof surface area.
Are the prices on this page real quotes?
No. They are ballparks. We take the measured median roof size and run it through the same starting prices our instant quote tool uses before a roofer sets their own, then adjust for local roofer pay from federal wage data. Every roof is different, so treat every range as a starting point.
What changes the price of a roof replacement?
The biggest things are size, material (asphalt shingles cost less than metal or tile), roof shape (a simple roof costs less to install than one with lots of angles), how many layers of old roofing come off first, and what the roofers in your area are paid.
How do roofers in Colorado use a tool like this?
A roofer puts this same instant quote tool on their own website. When a homeowner asks for a price, they see one right away instead of waiting for a callback, and the roofer gets the lead with the details already filled in.

About this data
Source and method
Microsoft GlobalMLBuildingFootprints (github.com/microsoft/GlobalMLBuildingFootprints), CDLA Permissive 2.0. Building footprints from Microsoft's GlobalMLBuildingFootprints dataset (computer-vision-derived from satellite/aerial imagery, 2014-2024 coverage), tiled nationwide into z13 quadkeys by tools/fetch-ms-footprints.py. Buildings are counted for a city if their footprint's centroid falls inside a hand-picked rectangular bounding box approximating that city's built-up area -- not an official city-limit boundary. Roof area = footprint area x 1.083 (a flat 4/12-pitch estimate; real roofs vary by shape and pitch).
