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

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 Phoenix, AZ the all-in is $7,677 low, $12,234 typical, and $56,334 high. Those all-in figures add the official permit for the valuation bands on this row: $558 on the low, $646 on the typical, and $846 on the high. The permit is based on project value, so it is not rescaled when the roof size changes, and it is not a new Table A fee for 20 squares. The nearest table rows are 18 squares (1,800 sq ft of roof surface) at $11,076 typical and 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area) at $9,917 typical.

How much does roof replacement cost per square in Phoenix?

Cost per square on this page is the all-in typical divided by the roof squares on that row. One square is 100 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area. 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 stays $646 on each of those rows, because this permit is based on project value and is not rescaled when the roof size changes. At 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area) in Phoenix, AZ the all-in typical is $9,917, which is $619.81 per square after rounding to the nearest dollar. At 10 squares the all-in typical is $6,440, or $644 per square. At 18 squares the all-in typical is $11,076, or $615.33 per square. Those per-square figures are that division of the row. They are not a separate published rate.

Is $30,000 too much for a roof replacement in Phoenix?

At the model's typical 16 squares (1,600 sq ft of roof surface, not floor area) in Phoenix, AZ, the all-in is $6,253 low, $9,917 typical, and $45,236 high. $30,000 is above that typical of $9,917. Published asphalt-shingle installed prices run $5,800 to $20,000, so $30,000 is above that band. The national high of $46,000 is the published broad high for steep or premium materials. Wage-indexed for Phoenix, that high is $45,236 at 16 squares. $30,000 is below that adjusted for local wages high and above the typical. On the typical path the same scale first reaches $30,000 at 51 squares ($30,197 typical), which is outside the about 13 to 18 squares this page uses for a typical house. The official permit on this row is $646 at a $12,000 valuation, $558 at $8,000, and $846 at $22,000. $30,000 is above that listed high valuation, so this row does not list a permit fee for a $30,000 project value. The all-in figures add the official typical permit of $646. They do not look up a new Table A fee at $30,000.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Phoenix?

On the official path, yes. Planning and Development Department (PDD) is listed as requiring a permit for a typical roof replacement in Phoenix, AZ, and the official typical fee is $646. Ordinance G-7465 Table A sets the building permit from the project valuation. For a residential valuation of $50,000 or less, plan review is 100% of that permit fee, minimum $195, when valuation > $5,000, and that review is included in the official totals. At the official $12,000 valuation the building permit portion is $323 and plan review is $323, so $323 + $323 = $646. Low $8,000 is a building permit portion of $279 plus plan review of $279, which is $558. High $22,000 is a building permit portion of $423 plus plan review of $423, which is $846. The $195 minimum would apply only when 100% of the building permit fee is under $195. From $5,001 through $6,000, Table A is $255, which is already above $195, so that floor does not raise the official totals. Phoenix bundles trades into one building permit. The official typical stays $646.

Does Phoenix require a permit to reroof with the same material, or to switch to tile?

City of Phoenix Planning & Development's Work Exempt from Permit sheet (TRT/DOC/00618, printed Rev. 07/14) quotes Phoenix Building Construction Code Section 105.2.1 item 16: re-roofing with the same type of material as the original roofing, provided not more than two layers of asphalt shingles are applied over an existing asphalt shingle roof. The sheet's commentary says item 16 is exempt only for certain occupancies, and that sentence does not name the occupancies. The department's residential permit brochure (printed Rev. 2/20) lists, under when a permit is not needed, re-shingle or re-tile with the same material, with that same two-layer asphalt limit. The same brochure lists, under when a residential permit is needed, roofline extensions and replacing wood or asphalt shingles with a tile roof. This page's cost model is an asphalt-shingle job, not a tile price. The official permit row still prices a permit on Table A when a permit is issued: $558 at $8,000, $646 at $12,000, and $846 at $22,000. The published exempt list is not a $0 line on this row.
