What's a 1,500 sq ft roof replacement really cost?
Honest pricing for your 1,500 sq ft roof — TruRoof, shingle roofing in Blue Ash, OH.
Your Blue Ash roof has seen better days. For a 1,500 sq ft house like yours, a full tear-off and new shingle roof is likely on the horizon. But you dread the sales calls and inflated quotes. You just want a straightforward price range before you even reach out to a contractor.
If your roof is 20 or more years old, you're probably seeing curling shingles, missing granules, or attic leaks. Around Blue Ash, many homes built from the 1960s through '90s are hitting replacement age now. Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, spring rains, and summer heat break down asphalt shingles over time. Once the protective layer falls, water gets in and patching stops making sense.
For a 1,500 sq ft home, a full tear-off and architectural shingle replacement typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000 in the Cincinnati area. The final number depends on roof pitch — steeper roofs cost more — how many layers need removing, and the shingle grade you pick. Basic three-tab shingles sit at the lower end, while designer shingles push the top. That's an honest window for asphalt.
Don't take the first quote you hear. Insist on a written estimate with line items: tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing, dump fees, labor. That way you can compare bids side by side. When you're ready for a real number on your Blue Ash home, call TruRoof. We'll inspect, measure, and send a clear quote with no hidden surprises.
After the job's done, you won't think about your roof for 30 years. No leaks, no water stains, no worry when the next storm hits. The warranty holds because the installation follows manufacturer specs. That's peace and quiet you can count on.
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."
