What factors should be considered when estimating roof replacement costs?

I’m trying to understand the main factors that homeowners should consider when estimating the cost of replacing a roof.

Apart from the roof size, how much difference do roofing materials, roof pitch, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, labor, waste removal, and local contractor rates make?

I’m also interested in knowing whether homeowners should calculate the roof area themselves before requesting quotes from contractors.

What mistakes do people commonly make when preparing a roof replacement budget?
