What a roof replacement really costs for a 1,500 sq ft home.
Straight numbers from a local roofing contractor in Burlington, KY. No runaround, just a real estimate.
You need a new roof on your Burlington home. You don’t want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you start making calls. This page gives you an honest look at what a roof replacement costs for a 1,500 sq ft house in Boone County.
You see curling shingles, granules in the gutter, or a leak after a hard rain. In Burlington, KY, freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms put a beating on your roof. A 1,500 sq ft home here, especially one built in the ’80s or ’90s, often has two layers of shingles that trap moisture. When the decking gets soft or shingles start blowing off, a full tear-off is the only real fix. That’s what it takes to stop the damage for good.
An asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,500 sq ft home typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000. That covers tearing off the old roof, disposing of debris, installing underlayment, and new architectural shingles. The price shifts with roof pitch, number of layers, and shingle quality. Metal roofs start around $15,000 and can go to $25,000 or more. Every job gets a written breakdown so you see exactly where your money goes. There’s no mystery, just a fair price for the work.

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."

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.
