How much does a new roof cost?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Cheviot, OH.
You got quotes from $7,000 to $20,000 for the same house in Cheviot. You don't know if you're being overcharged or if that cheap bid will cut corners. A new roof is a big investment, and you need a real number before you commit.
The number you see on a quote comes from four things: the size of your roof, how steep it is, how many layers of old shingles need to come off, and the material you pick. In Cheviot, many homes are ranches or Cape Cods with simple roof lines, but some have steep pitches that add labor. If a roofer gives you a price over the phone without measuring, that number is a guess.
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in this area runs between $8,000 and $15,000. Smaller homes on Harrison Avenue might fall on the lower end. Larger two-story homes or roofs with a steep pitch push the cost higher. Tear-off of multiple old layers also adds to the job. The only way to get a real price is to have a roofer inspect your attic, check the decking, and measure every slope.
Call TruRoof and ask for a written, itemized estimate. We'll come out, measure your roof, and give you a line-by-line breakdown of the work. You'll see exactly what you're paying for, from dumpster fees to the number of shingle squares. Do not sign with the first contractor who pressures you into a same-day deal.
Once the new roof is on, you won't think about leaks during a storm. You'll have peace of mind and a home that's protected for decades. No more guessing about what a fair price looks like.
What people in Cheviot 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
