What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Blue Ash, OH.
You own a 1,500-square-foot home in Blue Ash. Maybe it's near Summit Park or off Reed Hartman Highway. The roof has seen too many Ohio winters, and you need a real price before you call anyone. Not a range you found online. A number that fits your house.
A roof that leaks or loses shingles after storms is telling you something. Most Blue Ash homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s. Asphalt shingle roofs on these houses last 20 to 30 years. Once granule loss shows up in your gutters or shingles start curling, the clock runs out fast. Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles and spring storms speed things up. The roof isn't just old. It's done.
For a 1,500-square-foot single-story home with an average pitch in Blue Ash, a full asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement usually falls between $8,000 and $12,000. A steeper roof, two layers to remove, or bad decking push that toward $15,000. Metal standing seam runs higher, often starting around $18,000. The numbers move based on your roof's pitch, access, and how many layers sit under your current shingles. No guesswork. You get a written estimate with line items for labor, materials, disposal, and any sheathing repair.
Next step: get one written estimate that breaks everything down. Avoid verbal ballparks. They don't hold up. Avoid bids that skip the tear-off count or decking inspection. TruRoof gives you a fixed-price estimate before any work starts. We walk the roof, check the layers, measure the pitch, and hand you a number you can compare line by line. Call or text today to schedule that walk-through.
Once the work is done, your house stays dry through the next decade of Blue Ash summers and winters. No more tarp worries before a storm. No more water stains spreading on the bedroom ceiling. Your roof just works, and your home value holds.
What people in Blue Ash 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.
