How much does a new roof cost for a home like yours?
Straight answers for Burlington, KY homeowners from TruRoof, residential roof replacement that starts with a written estimate.
You live on a quiet Burlington street off KY-18 or near Gunpowder Creek, and your roof is showing its age. You call a few contractors and the numbers are all over the place. One bids low, another bids high, and you just want to know what a fair price looks like for a house your size in Boone County.
Roof prices are confusing because every home is different. A single-story ranch in Burlington with a low slope costs less than a two-story off I-75 with steep peaks and dormers. The material matters too. Architectural asphalt shingles make up most local roofs, but metal is an option. The real number comes down to square footage, pitch, number of layers torn off, and how much decking needs repair.
For a typical asphalt shingle replacement in Burlington, you can expect a range between $8,000 and $15,000. Smaller homes with simple roofs land on the lower end. Larger homes, steep roofs, or full wood deck replacement push near the upper end. Metal roofs run higher, often starting around $18,000. No online calculator can nail it because your roof needs a physical measurement.
The next step is simple. Call TruRoof and ask for a written estimate that breaks down every part of the job, from dumpster fees to the number of shingle bundles. Do not accept a verbal number scribbled on a card. A real estimate lets you compare line items and keeps surprises away. We measure your roof in person so the price matches your actual roof, not a guess.
When the work is done, you will have a new roof that handles Boone County storms without worry. No more leaks, no more curling shingles, and no more wondering if you paid too much. You get a clear price upfront and a roof built to last.
What people in Burlington 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."

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.
