Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house: here's what to expect.
Real numbers from a local roofing contractor in Bridgetown, OH, so you can plan without the guesswork.
You're in Bridgetown, staring at a worn-out roof, and you just want a straight answer on cost. You don't want to call three companies or sit through a sales pitch. You need a real number before you even pick up the phone.
Homes in Bridgetown and Green Township see real weather. Freeze-thaw cycles, spring storms, and summer humidity break down asphalt shingles over time. If your roof is 20 years old or showing granules in the gutter, it's likely time for a full tear-off.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft single-story home, an asphalt shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $15,000. That includes tear-off, disposal, underlayment, and new shingles. The price moves with roof pitch, number of layers, and shingle grade. Metal roofs cost more, often $15,000 to $25,000. These are honest ranges, not lowball teasers.
Your next step is a written estimate with line items. Ask for shingle type, labor, disposal, and any plywood replacement. TruRoof provides a clear, detailed quote before any work starts. Call us to schedule a walk-around. Avoid anyone who won't put numbers on paper.
Once the roof is done, you'll stop worrying about leaks and ice dams. You'll have a dry, secure home that handles Ohio weather. No more guessing. Just a solid roof over your head.
What people in Bridgetown 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.
