What does a new roof for a 1,500 sq ft house actually cost?
Straight numbers for Deer Park, OH homeowners from TruRoof, your local residential roof replacement team.
You're staring at missing shingles or a leaky ceiling on your Deer Park home. You don't want to call three contractors just to hear a price. You want a real number before you pick up the phone.
If your home was built between the 1950s and 1980s, that first layer of shingles is likely done. Freeze-thaw cycles in Ohio push water under old shingles, curl edges, and break seals. Once you see dark spots on the ceiling or granules clogging the gutter, the roof is talking to you.
For a simple 1,500 sq ft ranch or two-story near Chamberlin Park, an asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement runs $8,000 to $15,000. That covers removing old layers, installing new underlayment and architectural shingles, and cleaning up. Steep pitches, multiple layers, or siding work push it higher. Metal roofs add $5,000 to $10,000 more. This isn't a guess—it's what similar Deer Park homes cost in 2025.
Don't call the first name on a billboard. Get a written, line-item estimate. That lets you compare material grades, labor, and dump fees apples-to-apples. TruRoof gives you that estimate before any work starts. No pressure, no same-day pitch. Just a price you can check against your budget.
After the job, you walk outside and the roof looks tight again. No more tarps, no more buckets. The next rainstorm is just weather, not a crisis. You've got a clean, modern roof that carries a workmanship warranty—and you knew the cost before the first nail went in.
What people in Deer Park 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.
