How much does a new roof cost?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Eastgate, OH — what to expect and what to ask.
You're in Eastgate, and your roof is showing its age. You've started calling for estimates, and the numbers are all over the place — $6,000 to $20,000. You just want a fair price for a new roof on your house, without the sales pressure. With so many roofing contractors around Eastgate Mall and the I-275 corridor, it's hard to know who to trust.
That wide range in quotes is normal, but it feels confusing. Roofing estimates depend on many factors, like the square footage of your roof, its slope (pitch), the type of shingles, and whether old layers need tearing off. In Eastgate, many homes were built after 1990 and use standard asphalt shingles. The cost per square foot changes with these details.
For a typical single-family home in Union Township or the Near East Side, a full roof replacement with asphalt shingles can cost between $8,500 and $13,000. If your roof is steep, needs extra plywood, or has multiple layers to strip, the price can move toward $15,000 or more. Metal roofs run higher, starting around $16,000.
This week, get a written, itemized estimate before you decide anything. Avoid companies that give you a single number without measuring your home or that push you to sign today. TruRoof gives you a fixed-price proposal based on a real measurement of your roof — not a guess from a satellite photo. You'll see each line item: tear-off, disposal, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and labor. That way, you compare apples to apples.
Once your new roof is on, you won't have to think about leaks or storm damage for decades. Your home in Eastgate will be quieter, more energy-efficient, and protected from Ohio's heavy rains and occasional hail. You'll know exactly what you paid for and why it was the right call.
What people in Eastgate 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
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.
