How does the Roof Renovation Calculator work?
The Roof Renovation Calculator helps estimate the approximate cost of a roof renovation based on the roofing material, roof pitch, building height and location.
The calculator takes into account:
- Base price (€/m²): Depends on the selected roofing material (metal sheet, tile, felt)
- Demolition work: Cost of removing the old roofing
- Roof pitch: A steep roof (+25%) requires more safety measures
- Building height: Taller buildings require more scaffolding (+10%)
- Location: Helsinki is the most expensive, Uusimaa standard price
- Additional work: Gutters, roof safety, insulation, chimney work
What makes up the cost of a roof renovation?
Roofing materials
Metal sheet, tile or felt roofing with materials. Quality manufacturer products ensure a long service life.
Demolition work
Removal of old roofing and waste disposal. Tile is the most labour-intensive to remove, metal and felt are easier.
Scaffolding and safety
Safe scaffolding, occupational safety measures and roof safety products ensure safe working conditions.
Additional work
Rainwater system, roof safety products, additional insulation and chimney flashings enhance the overall solution.

Common roof renovation budget mistakes
Avoid these typical mistakes when planning your roof renovation budget.
Forgetting the underlayment and battens
Simply replacing the roofing material is rarely enough. Often the underlayment and battens also need replacing, which can increase costs by 20-40%. Have the roof structure inspected before accepting a quote.
Postponing gutter replacement
Old gutters should be replaced during the roof renovation. If done separately, scaffolding costs are incurred again, making the total more expensive. Combining the work saves on labour costs.
Choosing the cheapest quote
The cheapest quote may include less work or lower quality materials. Make sure quotes are comparable: do they include demolition, waste disposal, underlayment and warranty?
Omitting roof safety products
Snow guards, roof walkways and ladders are legally required and essential for safety. Retrofitting them is more expensive than installing them during the roof renovation.
Wrong timing for the renovation
Summer is the peak season for roof renovations and prices are higher. Spring and autumn can be more affordable, as long as the weather is suitable. Roof renovations in winter are rare.
