How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

Replacing a roof is one of the most significant investments a homeowner will make. On average, most homeowners spend between $7,000 and $15,000 for a full roof replacement, though premium materials like metal or slate can push costs well above $30,000.

Key Factors Affecting Your Quote

• Roof Size (Square Footage): Roofing contractors charge by the "square." One roofing square equals 100 square feet.
• Pitch (Slope): Steeper roofs require more safety equipment, specialized harnesses, and more time to navigate, increasing labor costs.
• Material Choice: Asphalt shingles are the most budget-friendly, while metal and tile offer greater longevity at a higher price point.
• Removal of Old Layers: If your current roof has multiple layers of shingles, the labor and disposal fees for "tearing off" the old material will increase.

Roofing Material Price Comparison

Material	Avg. Lifespan	Cost Level
Asphalt Shingles	15-25 Years	$
Metal Roofing	40-70 Years	$$$
Clay or Concrete Tile	50-100 Years	$$$$

Calculation Example

If you have a 2,000 sq. ft. home with a standard slope (1.15 multiplier), your actual roof surface area is roughly 2,300 sq. ft. If you choose architectural shingles ($6.50/sqft including materials) and need a single layer removed ($1.50/sqft), plus standard labor ($3.50/sqft), your calculation would look like this:

2,300 sq. ft. x ($6.50 + $1.50 + $3.50) = $26,450
