Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Eastgate, OH.
You have a 1,500 sq ft house in Eastgate, maybe near Jungle Jim's International Market or off Ohio 32. The shingles are curling, and you know it's time. You don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number first.
Curling, cracked, or missing shingles are a sign the Ohio weather has taken its toll. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and the occasional hailstorm wear down asphalt shingles. A roof that's 15 to 20 years old often needs a full replacement. If you see bare spots or granules in the gutter, it's time to act.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft home in Eastgate, an asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The range depends on roof pitch, number of layers, and shingle grade. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last longer. Steep roofs add labor cost. If the decking is rotten, that adds to the price. In Clermont County, labor rates are competitive, so you can get a fair deal. If you're just replacing shingles and the decking is sound, you're at the lower end. A full tear-off with ice and water shield and new flashing pushes it higher.
Get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and disposal. That way you can compare bids and avoid hidden fees. Don't just go with the cheapest bid. Ask for proof of insurance and manufacturer certification. TruRoof can give you an honest, line-item quote. We install to manufacturer spec, so your warranty holds up.

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."
