What a roof replacement costs for a 1,500 sq ft house.
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Bellevue, KY, serving the riverfront neighborhoods.
You've got a 1,500 sq ft home in Bellevue, maybe on a street like Fairfield Avenue with one of those classic early-1900s foursquares. The roof is showing its age — curling shingles, a leak after heavy rain. You don't want to call around just to hear numbers all over the place. You need a ballpark cost that makes sense for your house.
If your asphalt shingles are curling, cracking, or you see granule loss in the gutters, the roof is near the end of its life. In Bellevue, many homes built before 1940 have steep pitches and original roof decking that may need repairs during replacement. This adds to the scope but isn't unusual.
For a 1,500 sq ft home in the Cincinnati area, a full tear-off and architectural shingle replacement typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on the roof pitch, how many layers need tearing off, and whether any plywood decking needs replacement. Steeper roofs and homes near the river with extra moisture exposure can push the cost higher.
Don't guess. Get a written estimate that breaks out materials, labor, and disposal fees. Call TruRoof for a no-pressure inspection and a line-item quote you can actually compare. Avoid companies that give you a lump sum without details.
Once the new shingles are on and the warranty is registered, you won't have to think about your roof for 20 or 30 years. You'll know the job was done right, by a local crew who understands Bellevue homes.
What people in Bellevue 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."
