What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Batavia, OH.
You live in Batavia and your roof is aging. Maybe you see curling shingles or a leak in the attic. You need a real number, not a sales call. You just want to know what a tear-off and replacement costs for a 1,500-square-foot home.
A roof that’s soft to the touch or missing granules is overdue. In Batavia, freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms push shingles past their limit. A 1,500-square-foot home often has a simple gable or hip roof. But if you have two layers of old shingles or a steep pitch, the job gets harder.
For a typical asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement on a 1,500-square-foot house, you are looking at $8,000 to $15,000. That includes labor, materials, and disposal. Architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab. Metal roofing runs higher, starting around $20,000. The final price depends on your roof pitch, number of layers to remove, and any decking repairs.

What people in Batavia 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 much does a new roof cost
A new roof cost depends on size, pitch, material, and how many layers need to be torn off. Get a written estimate that breaks down the work item by item. In Cincinnati, a typical asphalt shingle roof can range from $8,000 to $15,000, but the only way to know is to have a roofer measure your home.
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.
