Roofing costs

What it costs to repair, replace or re-cover a roof, by material and roof size. Page 3 of 3.

• Roof replacement cost by house size$5,100 to $29,000per projectA 1,500 square foot house needs about 18.8 squares of roof and costs around $10,450 to re-roof in architectural asphalt. Your roof is larger than your floor area, and the pitch decides by how much.
• Roof replacement cost by state$9,300 to $13,650per projectThe same 20 square asphalt roof costs about $9,300 in Arkansas and $13,650 in Alaska. The gap is almost entirely what an hour of skilled labor costs in each state.
• Metal roof cost$11,000 to $60,000per projectA standing seam metal roof runs about $27,000 on a typical house, roughly two and a half times an asphalt roof. Most of the premium is labor, not material.
• Flat roof replacement cost$4,500 to $28,000per projectReplacing a 1,500 square foot flat roof in TPO or EPDM costs $8,000 to $13,000. Whether the roof still drains decides if that is the whole job or the start of one.
• Roof repair cost$150 to $5,000per projectMost roof repairs cost $150 to $600. The minimum service call is $150 to $350 whether the fix takes twenty minutes or four hours, which is what makes small repairs feel expensive.
• Does insurance cover a roof replacement$1,000 to $10,000per projectInsurance covers a roof that was damaged, not one that wore out. What you pay is your deductible, plus the depreciation gap if your policy settles at actual cash value.
• Roof replacement cost$6,700 to $32,000per projectMost homeowners pay between $7,500 and $14,000 to replace an asphalt shingle roof on a typical single-family house. Size, pitch and how many old layers have to come off drive nearly all of the spread.
