What does a new roof cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Bright, IN.
You're in Bright, staring at a roof that's losing shingles. You need a new one, but you don't want to call three companies just to get a price. You want a real number, from a local team that knows Midwestern homes.
If your roof is shedding shingles after storms, or you see dark streaks in the attic, it's likely time for a full replacement. In Bright, freeze-thaw cycles and Ohio Valley storms take a toll on aging asphalt shingles. A roof that's past its prime can't protect your home.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft home, a complete shingle tear-off and replacement runs between $8,000 and $15,000. That includes removal of the old roof, new underlayment, architectural shingles, and installation to manufacturer specs. The price varies with roof pitch, number of layers to remove, and the shingle grade you choose. If the decking needs repair, that adds cost.
This week, call TruRoof for a written, line-item estimate. We'll visit your Bright home, measure, and give you a clear number with no hidden fees. Don't sign with a company that won't break down the cost or pressures you into a quick decision. An honest roofer wants you to compare.
Once the job is done, your new roof sheds rain and snow like it should. The warranty stays valid because the work meets manufacturer specs. You can put away the buckets and stop worrying every time it storms.
What people in Bright 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."

Architectural shingles cost more up front and last longer with better wind ratings. We show both on your house.
how many years does a shingle roof last
Most architectural shingles run 20 to 30 years in Ohio weather. Ventilation and installation quality decide which end you land on.

shingle vs metal roof
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and are easy to repair. Metal roofs last much longer, reflect heat, and stand up to high winds. Think about how long you plan to stay in the home. A metal roof pays off over time, but shingles are still the most common choice in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
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.
