What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Cheviot, OH.
Your 1,500 sq ft home in Cheviot needs a new roof. You don't want to waste time calling multiple contractors just to hear wildly different prices. You want a straightforward number you can trust. Cheviot's older homes, built in the mid-1900s, often have original roofs that have weathered decades of Ohio humidity, ice, and storms.
If your asphalt shingles are curling, missing, or leaving granules in the gutters, your roof is at the end of its life. In Cheviot, roofs take a beating from summer heat, heavy rains, and winter ice dams. A 1,500 sq ft house typically has a simple gable or hip roof, but steep pitches or multiple valleys add complexity.
For a full tear-off and replacement with standard architectural shingles, expect to pay between $8,000 and $15,000. The final number depends on roof pitch, layers to remove, and shingle grade. A single-story ranch on a quiet Cheviot street might be on the lower end. A two-story with a steep roof could push higher. Metal roofing runs $15,000 to $25,000. Always get a written, line-item estimate so you can compare apples to apples.
This week, call TruRoof for a free, no-pressure inspection. We'll measure your roof, check for storm damage, and give you a detailed written quote the same day. Don't let a small leak turn into a big problem. Cheviot's next thunderstorm could make things worse. Avoid contractors who give vague numbers over the phone without seeing your home.
Once your new roof is on, you'll stop worrying about leaks every time it rains. Your home will stay dry, your energy bills may drop, and you won't have to think about your roof for 25 years or more. It's peace of mind for your family and your biggest investment.
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
