Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
A straight answer for Delhi Hills homeowners, from TruRoof residential roof replacement.
You're looking at your roof and know it's time. But before you call around, you want a real number. Not a sales pitch. Just what a full tear-off and replacement should cost for a 1,500 sq ft home in Delhi Hills. In this neighborhood, where many houses were built in the 60s and 70s, that question comes up often.
Your roof is showing its age. Curling shingles, missing granules in the gutter, or a leak after a storm. These are signs the asphalt shingle roof has reached the end of its life. Most homes in Delhi Hills have standard asphalt shingle roofs, which last 20 to 30 years depending on weather and upkeep. If you see daylight in the attic or water stains on the ceiling, it's past time for a patch. You need a full tear-off and replacement.
For a 1,500 sq ft home, a complete tear-off and new asphalt shingle roof in Delhi Hills usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on roof pitch, number of layers to remove, and shingle grade. A simple single-story ranch with a low slope will be on the lower end. A two-story with a steep pitch and multiple layers of old shingles will cost more. Metal roofing can run $15,000 to $25,000. These are real numbers from jobs in Hamilton County, not internet averages.
Your next step is to get a written estimate with line items. Not a phone quote. Not a ballpark. A real, on-site inspection and a breakdown of materials, labor, and disposal. TruRoof provides a detailed estimate before any work starts, so you can compare it to other bids and see exactly what you're paying for. Call us this week to schedule a walk-around.

What people in Delhi Hills 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."

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.
