Midwest Roof Calculators is our own free tool site for roofing and exterior projects in Ohio and Michigan. It’s built for winters with freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams and snow load. Homeowners get honest numbers before they talk to a contractor, so they show up to the estimate already understanding the price.
What’s on the site
- 25+ calculators and resources covering homeowners, commercial and HOA properties, and exterior work.
- A quick roof estimate on the homepage: enter house size or roof squares, pitch, garage, stories and roof material (architectural shingles, standing-seam metal, exposed-fastener metal or flat/low-slope EPDM/TPO) and the numbers update instantly.
- Tools for gutters, siding, flat-roof coatings and condo re-roofs, plus planning tools for commercial properties and HOAs.
- “Shows the math.” Every tool shows its formula, and results appear before anyone asks for contact info. That honesty is why homeowners trust it.
- Clear next steps for when someone’s ready: “Not sure? Answer 3 questions”, Talk to an expert, Free inspection, and a Roof storm check.
The Compare My Roofing Quotes tool
Most homeowners get 2–3 roofing bids that look nothing alike, and the cheapest one usually leaves something out. The Compare Roofing Quotes tool lines up to three bids side by side, line by line:
- Total price and roof size (squares)
- Tear-off, decking price per sheet, ice barrier and underlayment
- Flashing, ventilation and drip edge
- Permit, cleanup and magnet sweep
- Shingle brand and line, manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty
It shows a homeowner exactly what each bid leaves out, so they compare like for like instead of just picking the lowest number.

- It pairs with our printed workbook, Roof Repair or Rip-Off?, so homeowners get both the decision guide and the numbers.
Why it matters
Free tools are the strongest top-of-funnel asset a home services business can own. They earn links that ads can’t buy, they build trust before the first phone call, and they bring in homeowners who already understand the price. This is the same free-tool strategy we build for clients as part of the Booked Solid System.
