How Much Does Replacing a Roof Cost ?

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How much does it cost to replace a roof?” And while we’d love to give a one-size-fits-all answer, the reality is that roofing costs can vary quite a bit based on several key factors.

Generally speaking, the cost of a full roof replacement can range from $6,000 to $18,000 or more for an average-sized home. However, that number can shift depending on:

• The roofing material you choose:

  • Economical asphalt shingles are typically the most budget-friendly option.

  • Performance shingles offer enhanced durability and weather resistance.

  • Designer shingles bring added curb appeal and architectural detail, at a higher price point.

  • Metal roofing, while more expensive upfront, can last significantly longer and may reduce long-term maintenance costs.

• The current condition of your roof: If your roof has underlying issues like rotted or damaged decking, the cost will increase. This is why waiting too long to replace an aging or leaking roof can end up being much more expensive in the long run.

• The size and complexity of your roof: Roofs with steep pitches, multiple levels, skylights, or chimneys may cost more due to the added labor and materials involved.
