What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for asphalt shingle roofing in Alexandria, KY. No call-around, no guessing.
You own a 1,500-square-foot home in Alexandria, maybe over by A.J. Jolly Park or in Old Town. The roof is failing and you need a real price, not a sales pitch. You want a ballpark before you even pick up the phone.
An asphalt shingle roof in Campbell County takes a beating. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and decades of sun crack shingles and break the seal. You see curled edges, missing tabs, or granules in the gutter. That means the roof is past its useful life and water is getting where it shouldn't.
For a 1,500-square-foot house in Alexandria, a full tear-off and architectural shingle replacement usually falls between $8,000 and $15,000. The final number moves with roof pitch, the number of old layers, and the shingle grade you pick. A simple single-story ranch with a walkable roof lands on the low end. A steep two-story with multiple valleys costs more.
This week, get one written estimate with line items. That lets you compare apples to apples. TruRoof provides a detailed breakdown for your exact home, not a vague range. Don't wait until a leak stains the ceiling, because water damage adds thousands fast.
Once the new roof is on, you stop worrying every time it rains. The attic stays dry. The shingles lie flat and tight. You have a manufacturer warranty that actually holds, because the install was done right.
What people in Alexandria say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."

how many years does a shingle roof last

shingle vs metal roof
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and are easy to repair. Metal roofs last much longer, reflect heat, and stand up to high winds. Think about how long you plan to stay in the home. A metal roof pays off over time, but shingles are still the most common choice in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
shingle vs metal roof for home
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and last 20 to 30 years. Metal lasts 40 to 70 years and handles high winds better. If you plan to stay in the home long-term, metal often wins. If you're selling soon, shingles make more sense.
