Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Dayton, KY. No sales pitch, just real numbers.
You live in a 1,500 sq ft home in Dayton, maybe near Bellevue Beach Park or off US 62. The shingles are curling, and you know it's time. But you don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark price. You need a real cost range for your size house, right now.
If your asphalt shingles are cracked, curling, or losing granules, they've reached the end. In Dayton, years of Ohio River humidity and freeze-thaw cycles take a toll. A roof that looks okay from the street might be failing underneath. Once water gets past the shingles, it rots the decking fast.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft home in Dayton, a full tear-off and architectural shingle replacement runs $8,000–$12,000. A steep pitch, two layers to strip, or damaged decking can push it to $15,000. Metal roofing costs more, around $15,000–$25,000. These are Campbell County numbers, not national averages.
Get a written estimate that lists every line item: tear-off, disposal, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and labor. That way you can compare bids fairly. TruRoof gives you that breakdown on paper, with no pressure. Call before the next storm hits, because a leaking roof only gets worse.
Once the new roof is on, you stop worrying every time it rains. Your home stays dry, and the warranty is valid because it was installed to manufacturer spec. You know exactly what you paid for, and you can move on.
What people in Dayton 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."
Other things people in Dayton ask
asphalt shingles vs architectural shingles
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.
how much does it cost to put a shingle roof on a 2000 sq ft house
A written estimate priced by roof squares, not house square footage, is the only number that means anything.
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.
