How much does a roof replacement cost on a 2,000 sq ft home in Chandler?

Size in this model is roof surface. One roofing square is 100 sq ft of roof surface, and the typical job is 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area). In this model, 2,000 sq ft means roof surface (20 squares). It is separate from the floor area of a home, and the model has no floor-area input. The cost-by-size table has no 2,000 sq ft row; its rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface), 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area), and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface). Read as roof surface, 2,000 sq ft is 20 squares. The calculator already scales job cost by squares divided by 16, and 20 is inside the allowed range of 8 to 60, so these figures are that same scale, not a guess between table rows. At 20 squares in Chandler, AZ the all-in is $7,355 low, $11,906 typical, and $56,013 high. Those all-in figures add the model's rounded permit for the bands on this row. The official fees are $235.95 at a $8,000 valuation, $318.45 at $12,000, and $524.70 at $22,000. The model rounds each to the nearest dollar before adding it, so the all-in uses $236 on the low, $318 on the typical, and $525 on the high. The permit is the official valuation-based fee path: the building permit from valuation table 4.6.1 plus plan review at 65% of that building permit fee under section 4.6.2(a). At the official typical valuation of $12,000 the building permit is $193.00 and plan review is $125.45, which totals $318.45. It is not a new fee for 20 squares. The declared job valuation drives those listed fees. Roof square footage is not the lookup. The nearest table rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface) at $6,112 typical and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface) at $10,748 typical. Listed assumed valuations on this row are $8,000, $12,000, and $22,000, and the permit follows those valuations, not the roof size. Job cost is adjusted for local wages using the BLS construction-and-extraction mean of $29.42 per hour for the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro (May 2025), labor wage multiplier 0.936, applied to the official 55% labor share.

The cost-by-size rows are 10 squares (1,000 sq ft of roof surface), 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area), and 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface). The official typical permit fee is $318.45 at a $12,000 valuation. The cost-by-size table shows that fee on each of those rows, because this permit is the official valuation-based fee path and is not recomputed when the roof size changes. At 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area) in Chandler, AZ the all-in typical is $9,589, which is $599.31 per square (per 100 sq ft) after rounding to the nearest dollar, and $5.99 per sq ft after rounding to the cent.
